It’s a good thing we got the greenhouse done before the wind kicked up
That’s what my Dad said.
We’re so lucky our family keeps on growing.
That’s what my Mom said.
You’re old enough to help clean up the dishes now,
That’s what Aunt Jen said.
It may be years before we find a way back.
That’s what Aunt Marsha said.
Take an extra heap of Hoppin John for Luck
That’s what Aunt Marsha’s Dad said.
I hope someday you’ll see snow little man
That’s what Aunt Julia said.
I wish your grandma could see us all together sharing supper.
That’s what my grandad said.
I think this year’s better than
All the other years before.

The branch fell on a Sunday,
From a night of hard wind and grey snow and ice.
So Father and Marsha and I
Chopped enough wood to see through till springtime.
Later in summer I climbed to discover
A starling had gathered a nest in the hollow
Father had left in the first weeks of April;
I wanted to crumble the eggs in my fingers.

The End

I want you there when the sun rises.
I want you there when it sets.
When I draw the blinds in the dusk of this world,
I want you there at the end.
If I take your hand once more in that final golden
And all the trials that came before seem merely moments
And in time, we all will find our rest,
I hope to have your hand in mind when I go walking west.
I want you there when the sun rises.
I want you there when it sets.
When the light goes out on this tired old world,
I want you there at the end.
