Future Retrospect
Yes, I have often seen, the early rising sun
when I wake to witness, another day begun.
But when I see tomorrow’s, it will surely be the best!
Yes, I have seen the Seasons, in ritual parade,
adorned in all their beauty, a Master’s hand displayed.
Spring brings us great pleasure. She’s a most welcome guest.
Dressed overall in finery, she’ll lead the cavalcade,
preparing the way, for sweet Summer’s serenade.
This gentlest of Seasons, by which everyone is blest.
Yes, I have seen Fall’s pageant, when falling leaves cascade.
A deluge of colour, which boasts every hue and shade,
but lurking near is Winter, to impose Nature’s rest!
Yes, I’ve heard the strident winds, and Winter’s shrill tirade,
and seen illusive paintings, of his icy masquerade.
Ephemeral trappings, of an overstaying guest!
Enthralled, I’ve seen the grandeur, in the setting sun!
When another day is over, and my work is done,
though tired and exhausted. It’s the time I love best!
