Of thin chain dangling from the forest trees?

These caretakers of souls 
Theses brothers and sisters 
And mothers and fathers

It was built with patience
 and a caring Love

The builder's mastered

Here's to all the beauties yet lived and had
My rain in the drought and my sun in the rain
Saying goodbye to a past so amazingly manifested,

The old woman argued relentlessly, her case.
Resolute, she raved in her conviction; 
two thousand and one reasons were there for her to be mad.
Eleven was given to questioning eyes.

It was September, 
and Bernice brought home...

I can't see the pain, am I blind;
I can't hear a thing, I am deaf;
Am I deaf, I am blind
what is this?????
Is it something that I've missed

Alas, of late
