My Company
Oh words on paper come to me
My solace and comfort. My company
O God I Pray to thee:
For strength in eye to follow the track
Not peering around and always looking back
But curiosity has so killed the cat
So long ago and there he sat
Riding the fence while all along
Praying for the wisdom to be so strong
For strength in heart to jump over that fence
But venture out I have not hence
Tell me now why I want to hear
That sweet whisper there upon my ear
And look to all directions and all there is
To find that oft searched for bliss
Left alone so long to my own device
Found Peace within that does suffice
After a stretch and a period of time
Why does a longing emerge from this heart of mine
Oh words on paper come to me
My solace and comfort. I need company
