Once famous, but now alone
none to warm its heart
waits, watches
maybe a soul or two
pass along its way,
drops in a word of cheer
or disgust
or of love
or enmity.
Desperation in its eyes,
one soul, loyal, true
pulls it out of its pit
stands by it, come what may
faces the test of time.
It will survive for sure
for they have a bond none can deny.
