Oh my dear child so full of glee
I wish that you would visit me
Perhaps we could have tea and cake
What kind of pastry shall I bake ?
It would be nice twixt me and thee
To share a special tea party
And if you’d like to bring a chum
I’m sure that we’ll have room and some !
Looks like it’s time to settle in
Time for a game of bridge or gin
Perhaps we could do Scrabble too
I’m pretty good at words, are you ?
Of course I’d rather be outside
But there’s no place that we can hide
The weather is not playing fair
And drizzle’s raining ev’rywhere !
It seems to me that nature rules
Things that we do, tools that we use
This happened aft the world became
Under the dominance of Cain !
We’ve been good friends for many years
Through smiles and laughter, doubts and fears
We have been up, we have been down
Hugs and kisses, at times a frown
I’ve often thought what shall I do
Without a pal who’s just like you ?
It’s been so long that I’ve forgot
What life would be if you were not
And so today I want to state
That we are buddies soon or late
Whatever else may chance to be
I’m here for you when you need me !
I feel a chill, it fills the air
The sun’s asleep I know not where
Today’s the day of our black moon
I truly hope it shows up soon.
Oh how much I desire to see
Celestial sights with clarity
Since there’s no shining moon tonight
God’s skies o’erhead twill be e’er bright !
