I remember when I was young
I tried to grab a shadow
It eluded me
I remember as I grew older
I saw a flower along the road
I thought that I might take it home
To brighten up my room
But knowing it would die I left it
So that it would grow
The next day I returned
To find the flower gone
Somewhere I knew it sat sadly
Somewhere in a vase
Withering and dying
I couldn't stop from crying
Today as I look back
I am older
But nothing's changed
