I found myself praying
                                        But I’m not sure to who?
I revealed all my secrets
                                       But what could you do?
I waited and waited
                                  For heavens thunderous reply
My letter on the door step
                                          Please I don’t want to die
The words that were written
                             Filled me with wondrous relief
You answered my prayer
                                           And renewed my belief
I will make time for religion
                                            I want you to know
Not once, not twice, three times
                                            I heard the **** crow
Rain fell ,rolled off the tip of my nose
I tasted the sweat off my skin
headlights brushed across my face
Eye's fixed pupils dilating
Door opened, you walked head bowed
Guarded from the rain  
He looked through the curtains
You hurried out of view
Our eyes met
The light dimmed
The sun shines through the window
Another bright and sunny day
The dog smiles at you lovingly
The cat shouts come this way

They lick their dishes clean and toddle of to bed
The cat looks at the dog "I think we got it right" he said
Chores done I rush to shower I'm not one to shirk
I think "I got it wrong" as I toddle off to work
There are honest people
                                        I’d like to bet

Or are we just out
                       To get what we can get

O' please are you there? because
                             I’ve not met you yet
Lock the windows tightly
So the thief can’t get inside
Five small eggs need protecting
No corners here to hide

Stay safe I call, I have to leave
To gather moss for our thatch
To keep our home secure and warm
To help you all to hatch

Just three of you left waiting
Two large and just one small
My eyes fill with tears
When I hear the cuckoo call
Death held me for a moment
I tumbled
Further and further I fell

Watching you as the dark descended

Your loving eyes awoke me
And dragged my back

With a gasp lasting moments
My eyes alight once more
Do you ever forget to breath?
I finished my drink on a hot summer’s day
The container all spent, I threw it away
While walking the beach on a hot summer’s day
The container all spent came back the very next day

Amused at my find on that hot summer’s day
No use for anything, so I threw it away
Children were watching, ecological they say
So I collected the ******* I’d just throw away

Watching me closely on a day they’d normally play
I carried my container I’d once threw away
I placed it in a bin where it will now lay
Then turned to the children who were now busy at play

Then I spied a young person on that hot summer’s day
With an empty container he was about to throw away
I drew in my breath and was about loudly to say
But he walked up to the bin and that’s were it will now lay

So I’ll follow the code of my new ecological way
When my container is spent, I’ll not throw it away

What about you?
