My Clan

My Clan

It’s you I missed, a last goodbye
Days went dark, songbirds cried
Been so long, as time has passed
Still smell you near, our last repast

It’s me I blame, this time afar
Closed my heart, not left ajar
Lost my mind, wandered within
Finding sadness, remorse, chagrin

It’s we that were, together strong
Alas, it’s joy, your comfort I long
Now, done, gathered, we here
Stay this day, and you, my dear

It’s all we can, stand, be proud
Speak, laugh, per chance be loud
In moonlight’s glow, not rather than
Here, at last, embosom, my clan
