Thus begins the new life <br />Shed the old <br />Like the tattered soles <br />Of tattered shoes <br />That walk no more <br />Abdicate the roles <br />Of the little fools <br />Who ruled before <br />Those who brought your tears <br />And softly chased your fears <br />As you saw them rule your younger years <br />They shan't rule you anymore.<br /><br />Aven Black<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/strelitzia/
