A Touch of Wonder and Delight
A touch of wonder and delight
make this day very bright
A lovers wish or sensual kiss
the tender things that I shall miss
A child’s smile and twinkling eyes
Full of mischief and surprize
A flower opening up its petals
Precious stones and polished metals
Smiley eyes, shinning bright
When I whisper something right
Deadly silence all around
When I’m acting like a clown
Romantic lovers on the beach
Slowly walking till they reach
The splashing sound of the waves
Bright white cliffs, old rock caves
A sudden burst of joyful laughter
Someone running from disaster
The lovely smell of fresh cut grass
Someone falling on their ass
Life is full of joy and pain
Teardrops falling in the rain
Sudden laughter, sudden death
This is it, my last breath
What I learned from this life
I tried to teach my darling wife
It’s the little things that make you happy
It’s your turn to change her nappy
So just be thankful for what you’ve read
Cause tomorrow you might be --------
enjoy your life, but please don’t boast
As this was written by a ghost
