Analysis of When the Last Petal Falls
I've seen better days
When life was grand
And I didn't see in a haze
When the hour Glass didn't go so fast with the grains of sand
I had so much joy
And could conquer the world
That was the days oh boy
And my life wasn't in turmoil
Back then I did everything I could
I was young and more beautiful
Life was good
And I alwys had things plentiful
When I was younger
And more wise
I was stronger
And could think more clearer in my mind
I spent my days
Showing off my beauty
And I made
People want to see me
When I was a babe
I was a young bud
And spent my days
Longing for fun
But now I am a Wilted rose
I have done so m many things in my life
And it shows
And now it's time to say good bye
So as I say good bye to all
I want to also say I love you all
And may I see you in the next life
When the last petal falls
