Its not so bad from where I stand, I
Forgive the God who dealt my hand.

Only now 'cause times gone by that I
Need to let those tired dogs lie.
Love was appointed to be my friend
Yet passion will bite at the bitter end.

I can't complain of Winters wet

His ghostly cobwebbed beauty yet
Among the diamonds in the ground
Dismissed by lookers and not found

A gem was waiting, it had your name so

Be of high hope for future gain.
Extra chords can cloud the sound
Tonight the song is "Homeward Bound"
To reach the comfort of mercy's fire
Engulfed by your Mother's cooling ire
Retract that comment and shut your mouth 

Contain the signals you've splashed about to 
Hide your intentions and foster doubt. For
A feeble actor in Ghoethe's play, life's
Nothing more than shades of grey. With
Clear reminders of Nature's intent
Each year we travel one more spent.
