THIS IS FOR DONALD.

I’ve gathered the wise,

Professing The King,

I’ve dined with fools,

Who mock everything.

I’ve pondered the old,

And welcomed the new,

I’ve injured and mended,

Both lied and been true.

I’ve wandered some ground,

And danced a fair mile,

Directed my steps,

Yet prayed without guile.

Now I greet the future,

Wearing a smile,

Abandoned to Hope;

I am His all the while.
