A Fearsome Year

Come train through the forests of rain

Bring my girl to my aching arms

Into the night against the grain

Of peace I register my qualms

Don’t let her be soaked! This brutal weather

Appalls, but soon we’ll be together


The climate of our days sometimes

Not good, we’ve seen a fearsome year

Uprooted, no work, unwell, what crimes

We wondered had we committed here?

But I see her blue eyes gleam through the night

And the rain, and things are pretty alright!

Thanks to God

With Allie singing round the place

Gracing the stairs as I say my prayers

Letting the sun start from her face...

Ever Young

I’ve never thought of you as less than young

Though things concern you – imagined lines, maybe

White veins among your hair’s dark ore...
