An Afterthought
January third; almost an afterthought
The post Christmas and New Year sort
My thoughts are with you, in heaven above
At the right hand of the Father, Son and Dove
This world has changed too much
We are connected but out of touch
What would you feel, about how we live?
Pretending, we have no time to give
We are on our gadgets these days
No time to catch the sun's rays
No card, no gift again this year
That you will be hurt, I have no fear
It is your birthday, Mother dear
How I wish you could be near
I would have bought you a pen this time
To grade the quality of my love of rhyme
