Should a veil of fear and suffering cause me at the end <br />To forget the love and kindness of you all <br />If I say such and such and this or that and it offend <br />Forgive this feeble body at its fall <br /> <br />And let’s go gather blackberries as autumn’s ushered in <br />And fill our hats with bursting purple fruit <br />And in the Hillman royally we’ll glide the lanes to home <br />Me in my scarf and Jack in that old suit <br /> <br />If I appear to lose my senses as cold night descends <br />And rheumy eyes don’t see you at my side <br />You hold my aged hand in yours in comfort to the end <br />Doubt not this heart has loved you all its life <br /> <br />And strawberry fields roll out before us here to pick our own <br />And fill glass jars with jam as sweet as smiles <br />And cover them with greaseproof held down with rubber bands <br />Well worth the walking of those country miles <br /> <br />Delicious scented lavender fair tulips in the spring <br />Remind you of the way I used to be <br />And I will wait for you with Jack until we all are home <br />The bluebell woods to walk as family<br /><br />Gabriel SimpsonLaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bluebell-woods/
