Life's Requests 2

Life’s requests 2 Long in thought stare sadder eyes When summers leaves wither and die, Until the music from out our lost intent Speak words of life’s request Expressions hold impressions felt Over the failing land, our motherland; And like words spoke once of promises told Sound our life’s request See not the bright tomorrow fare Until gone this wearied night, And the moments held in times resolve Are like those of life’s request This, our time of sun shines breadth Here in a place our thoughts are bound, And the music from out our lost intent Are like words of life’s request By m.n. marklnorton@shaw.ca
