Stained Glass

I watch the clock hands racing round
The sands of time just flow away
Soft petals lying on the ground
The setting sun, the end of day
Church pews where once, my voice so pure
Stained glass windows their colours bright
My Love for you, never so sure
Your beating heart, please hold me tight
And shadows creeping ever near
And falling leaves of red and brown
And memories within a tear
What was the use of thorny crown
There was no time to say goodbye
Why did you have to fade and die

Heartfelt, Michael, very much so. This tragic looking back has done its job, it has called out to love a-dying, and, as we all know, that is the worst we believe that can happen to us,
