Upon the Pier

Be still my beating heart
When the sun finally sets and the wind blows west
When among family we are cherished and beloved
When the night knows no thunder, no riddle left to solve

Be still my beating heart
When the pools of happiness spill out incessantly
When with passing years age becomes a wonder
When amongst endless hugs and smiles, we no longer ponder

If my heart were to be still, it would be then and not any other time
Before our loved ones are captured in the grip of fate
Before their time ceases and the earth opens its gate
It would be then, amongst the joy of their company

Be still my beating heart, but not quite yet
For the sun has yet to set
For they still await a new year
For we sit in brotherly arms upon the pier


Happy New Year's...cherish those who love you..
