                            My Words
                             By Keltiad

For all to hear I write these words,
I like simple pleasures like songs from the birds.
For those who know me, they know this to be true
For those that think they do, then these are for you.

When all is gone and I am left alone
Then I will turn to what is known.
For all the wisdom that has gone before,
I will seek to find at every shore.

When all seems lost and far away,
Then I turn and watch nature play.
In this world I find my peace,
As I watch it, I find my release

For relief from pains felt in my heart,
If ever I need to find a new start
It is all there in each new day,
And all for free no need to pay.

I have never fitted in with everyday things,
But all seems worthwhile when the song-thrush sings.
I cannot see my way in this life,
But with nature to watch, it eases my strife.

It gives me a reason to get on with the day,
It shows me things to help my way.
So when I am gone and no longer around,
Think of me there with the bird on the ground.

And when in the bush and in full song
I will be there, it’s where I belong.
So at my passing do not be sad,
Listen to the birdsong and know my hearts glad
