Another Year, Another Day

Another year has passed away
I saw the coffin passing by
It seemed like only yesterday
Another year had passed away
So many flowers on the dray
No sooner are we born we die
Another year has passed away
I saw the coffin passing by

Another year, another day
I heard a new born baby cry
And people in the market say
Another year, another day
Another soul come out to play
So many in the graveyard lie
Another year, another day
I heard a new born baby cry

Another year has passed away
I saw the sun rise on the hill
And heard the little children play
Another year, another day
Another hearse gone by. I pray
That you and I will stay until
Another year has passed away
To see the sun rise on the hill

Silent One January 5, 2019 at 6:49 AM Haunting peom Gail, in the sense that so much is lost in a year, and when a new year comes we have so much hope, but it is just a cycle of things... But the sun will always rise... Gail Foster January 6, 2019 at 3:22 AM Thank you for reading my poem, Silent One. May the sun always rise for you x
