A Good Year

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.

There are stars in the sky
Much too high for us to climb,
Do you know why?

There are diamonds in the ground
Much too deep for us to find,
Do you know why?

There are bright rays dancing ’round
Move too fast for us to grasp,
Do you know why?

There are fragrances so sweet
Yet not meant for us to eat,
Do you know why?

Then settle down and rest with me
As contentment must be
Our destiny.
