Ostrasized

(Randwick, Australia)

We've lived and loved together now
For nigh on twenty years
Many's the smile that passed between
So perhaps have tears


While we look and wonder now
At the years we've spent together
The time has come, or so it seems
To open out your tether


So it was that both of us
Were out to face another day
You for your mum, me for God
Both to move away


It seems we look and wonder now
At what there is to do
If His bounty wills it so
I'll wait in quiet for you
