Young Woman, Old Man

I wonder why you look so sad.
You have stepped down from your throne for only a short time.
He is wiping his eyes now, they are grey and tired and old.
Another is here everyday, lost and confused. Looking, judging,
But it comes back to you.
I wonder why you look so sad.
Just over half of life and wondering what it all means.
You only want more time with your sad-faced queen.
She does not permit such thing, her eyes tell all.
Go back to your large palace and think.
Where is it all going.
