when the story’s done
it’s you

when the song is sung
it’s you

from the first line
to the final period
it’s you

from you, we learn
who we were
and who we are
the stories of our lives
the songs of our legends
you help us remember
and to never forget

and so, when our own
tales have been spun
and our own
songs have been sung
it will still be you

always

Oh GR8 voice of the Northland ... I wondered when the Norse would get in the fray

Well done, as usual, only better

IF you look at it clinically all of life is a Saga in a way. Analgies within analgies? No, just another wonderous Goddess.

I'm learning so much from your Goddess series. Another lovely verse, another enchanting Goddess

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
