by Nancy L. Meek (c)1998 There is no place where I can go My faithful shadow does not know. It follows me from room to room And naps with me each day at noon. It's there, behind, with every step, Crossing the floor where I just swept, Stretching prone on my laundry sweet In sun-warmed piles around my feet, Spilling on the chair next to me While having lunch or sipping tea. But, today I tricked it in the yard And ran from it so very hard... 'Round and 'round in circles there Until it wasn't anywhere; Ah! But then, I heard behind my fanny, "Here I am, behind you, Granny!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

by Nancy L. Meek (c)2002 Indeed, how swiftly fly the years Why, it seems like it was just yesterday We were laughing and dancing together Without fear of what tomorrow might bring I thought there would be plenty of time To show you things you've never seen Like the rainbow forming in the open sky Or the sunrise over an ocean of green Who could know that the day would come When the light would die in your eyes When the stars at night would shine no more When all of heaven would close its doors With tears, one season follows another Pastoral scenes are meaningless now Sunsets seem less dramatic somehow Each new day just melding into the other Where will you find the courage to go on Stumbling through the dark on sunny days Where have all those moments gone You looked in awe at those glorious rays What words of comfort can I offer you To help you through the dark days ahead When I can no longer laugh, dance or sing Without fear of what tomorrow might bring Here, take my hand, m'dear...walk with me Together, we'll look 'til we find the way Perhaps there's light up ahead yet to see Shining still, if not yesterday, maybe today ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
