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 © Gail Foster 5th January 2019

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...
