This world and the next

            #34

      I Could Die…

I could die tomorrow

If it wasn’t for three things

That fill my heart with quiet hope

And sharp eternal longings:

 

The tiny blue plant

That grows by the drive;

The joy in my little dog

When he sees me arrive;

The love in the Other

Who’s glad I’m alive.

 

I could die tomorrow

If it wasn’t for these things

That fill my heart with quiet hope

And sharp eternal longings.
