Five Months To Heaven
FIVE MONTHS TO HEAVEN
Happiness separated five months long —
He hears her voice, while he sleeps in his chair.
The lonely parakeet mourning with song.
No footsteps creak upon floor — bedroom bare.
He hears her voice, while he sleeps in his chair,
Clinging forlorn to loving memories.
No footsteps creak upon floor — bedroom bare.
The wistful wind rustles forth a cold breeze.
Clinging forlorn to loving memories.
Grandma would open the bars of bird’s cage.
The wistful wind rustles forth a cold breeze.
Grandpa’s dreaming of his heavenly page.
Grandma would open the bars of bird’s cage —
The lonely parakeet mourning with song.
Grandpa’s dreaming of his heavenly page.
Happiness separated five months long.
