Won'T You Join Me
Mr. Sol, our friend, our hero
our sustainer of life
We wake up to it's
cheery good morning greeting
Can't help smiling back
even when life isn't all tickety-boo
Heard the phrase
wait five minutes... it's true
The ups and downs at times
can be quite overwhelming
but it's all part of
life's exciting adventure
Would be pretty uninteresting
in fact quite mundane
if it was otherwise
However, those extraordinary
and exciting events certainly make up
for a few unpleasant occurrences
Of course losing a loved one
transcends all else
but even that which can seem
so devastating at the time
eventually though not forgotten
we are able to move on with living
thank goodness
Dear Mr. Sol will still
keep rolling round every day
till his lunar partner
big old Mr. Moon lights our way
A romantic image for lovers
the world over
So if it isn't obvious yet
this old duffer is an optimist
with an upbeat and happy
approach to life
Won't you join me?
