I saw a broken windmill <br />It is so sad, you know, to see <br />It did its job all its life <br />Now it crumbles painfully <br /> <br />The wind no longer whirls <br />Amongst its broken blades <br />The beauty is now lost somehow <br />The charm too seems to fade <br /> <br />As I look across the open field <br />The cattle grazing the day away <br />I see the broken windmill <br />Trying desperately to sway <br /> <br />Its pieces so pathetically <br />Hang and droop and bang <br />The wind seems to avoid it where <br />A sweet melody once sang <br /> <br />How sad it is, don’t you think? <br />Perhaps the farmer one day <br />Will repair it and make it whole <br />Of he might possibly take it away!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-windmill/
