James Fraser Poet Rhyme

I Won'T Be Home Tonight

Has the toll bell been rung
Is the door wide or ajar
What's the chances of us
Or has it all gone too far
 
Ignored and shelved
For many a year
Hardened by my life
There's no Highlander fear
 
In years to come
Would you care where i am
Will you look back and ponder
Has the ajar become slam
 
People have lives
We are given to live
Not to be imprisoned
And watch time sieve
 
Decisions are made
Are they wrong, are they right
We are once on this earth
I won't be home tonight

Carolyn Devonshire August 14, 2009 at 5:20 PM Sad that you feel this way. Sometimes when one door closes, another opens. Stay strong, dear Highlander! Love, Carolyn
