Can I simply say?
Can I simply say? Can I simply say? Thank you for this day It is a gift undeserved To find ourselves preserved. There is a time to shine And later to retire To smell the roses in the shadows To fall in love with everything. The cycle of life wheels round Brings us back to where we first begun If we get the grace to hold on To dance the dance and sing the song. No need to be at every party If they really like you as they say They will find you drinking tea In the garden below the trees. If we’re lucky we have given Now’s the time to sit and listen To the pigeon welcome autumn In the hedgerow beside the meadow. The thrusting trees pierce white clouds Drifting from the west untethered Welcoming a harvest weather Of welcome warmth on yellowed crops. Time to bid farewell for now For no one knows what the future holds When we’ll come or where we’ll go We’ll take our leave in God’s good time.
