Sammy - Sj

Forget the corn 
Down the gully, boy 
It is a poor crop 
To our present history. 
First Heather, 
Then your father 
I am torn with so many griefs for you 
Then just when healing was about to begin 
Your best brother to me 
And your sister evading memory 
Tore the sepulchre of pain open. 
O little tree 
How do you take all this storm? 
Where do you find the roots 
So deep down to cope? 
God must be very good, 
Very deep soil to you. 
Please plant again, my faith in three.
