We Shall Be Bells One Day

We shall be bells one day, and play out with gladness to the wind. For me, I'll be on the best steeple in our land. "Ding, dong, ding!" and the shepherd boy will not attend his sheep that hour but look up to steeple and to me. "Be good, shepherd boy" from me and my companions... (He'll know instinctively for him and not for naught...) We'll all be bells one day and not think back to now at all, when we aren't bell-shaped ordinarily and are not made of smelted iron. ------------------------------------------ 7/23/2015 Contest - For Whom the Bell Tolls Sponsor - Debbie Guzzi 5th place win
