Sadness
The procession is over
No more hosannas
We face the dark days.
Just come inside after a spot of gardening.
Can’t get off my boots
Haven’t the strength.
Helpless I sit and wait
For my equally tired old husband
Or — happy thought —friend coming to cook our supper
she will certainly help.
So just sit and wait
Time never pauses, I just read,
That’s one thing you can count on
In a spinning world
Learn patience
