MOMENTS

a daymomentsbloc.wordpress.com

Out of the shell!

the tortoise said

out of that hell!the price was paid.

Now I am cold

but not in vain

as I am told

I won the pain!

I can walk free

did nothing wrong

there is no tree

but I stay strong.

I’m a bit old

and just need love

I’ll be a bit bold

and play the dove

.I found a girl

on a dating site

oh, how I swirl

to her I write.

She’s just too young

or I’m too old

but I’ve begun

and now I’m sold.

My name is Frank

and she’s Nicole

I’m not a prank

yet she’s my goal.

Told her the truth

what will she do?

she’s in her youth

and I feel blue.

Difference in age

is not so good

it is a cage

you think I should?
