Did you not hear me go?
There was a loud shout
Of joy
And stepping forward
Into the light
I hailed them
I glanced back
In case you came with me
You always came before
You slept so peacefully, my love
I could not wake you then
So do not grieve
My joy is now
Your joy will come in time
Charles Mackintosh
