One Minute Here
Where has the time gone ~ I do not know
Now in October
What next ~ winter snow
Where has the year gone ~ I do not know
A beautiful spring filled me with joy
All shiny and new and covered in dew
Summer was gorgeous so sunny and hot
Day after day though rain it did not
Autumn’s vibrant colours and leaves that are crisp
If only the weather would stay like this
But winter draws near
Such dark nights I fear
They make me feel down
I don’t want to be here
Winter’s the time my love went away
Time doth heal
Or so they say
Where did my love go ~ I do not know
One minute here ~ the next he was gone
