SOME COME
(T. Beechey)
Some come to be,some come to see
Others exist anonymously
Perhaps they should set a moment free
To take a look around
At a firefly's light on a star-filled night
Hear the crickets and frogs,watch the flight
Of owls --- I must say it's really quite
A treasure to be found
Some come to do,some come to view
Others are just going through
Wouldn't it be a nice gesture to
Linger for a bit?
Spend some hours with the flowers
The beauty of nature in all its powers
From rocky coves to ivory towers
Take in all of it
Some come alone,some come to get known
Others by how the wind has blown
What they all need is to be shown
What is and yet to come
A rainbow's arc,a puppy's bark
As the world revolves from light to dark
And each image is truly a mark
Of where we all are from
Some come to stay,some come to play
Others merely pass by this way
I think it'd be nice if they
Would take a little while
Feel the breeze,climb the trees
Listen to the birds and bees
Just a small hint of these
Would make anybody smile
