Ah, I was young in days gone by
Strong, proud, unaffected
Courageously facing any challenge
How time has changed me
Growing old, now useless
The elements have worn me down
I was full of life once
Now quiet, I rest alone
Remembering, I was young in days gone by

Well written. I like this take on the picture. I can imagine its beauty when it was first built, and how proud its builder/builders were. Thank you for entering.

this poem is really great. It is when I read a piece like this that makes me wish I could bring myself to write non-rhyming poetry. I love it!
