SIX SERVING MEN
I have six honest serving men
They taught me all I knew.
Their names are what and why and when
And how and where and who.
I send them over land and sea
I send them East and West.
But after they have worked for me
I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine to five
For I am busy then.
As well as breakfast, lunch and tea
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views
I know a person small
She keeps ten million serving men
Who get no rest at all.
She sends them on her own affairs
From the second she opens her eyes
One million hows two million wheres
And seven million whys.
WHY GOD MADE FRIENDS?
God in his wisdom made a friend
Someone on whom we can depend
A loyal friend who’d understand
And always lend a helping hand…
He felt we’d need somebody, who
Could comfort us when we feel blue
Whose special warmth and happy smile
Would make us feel that life’s worth while…
Someone with whom to take a walk,
To share a book or have a talk
Who’d chat for hours on the phone
Or sense our need to be alone…
In short, God made a friend to be
Someone we’re always glad to see
There’s little else that God can send
That means as much as one good friend!!!
MY HEART’S IN THE HIGHLANDS
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer,
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe –
My heart’s in the Highlands whenever I go!
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birth-place of valour, the country of worth!
Whenever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills in the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains high cover’d with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods!
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer,
A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe –
My heart’s in the Highlands wherever I go!
By Robert Burns
AUTUMN FIRES
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires,
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fires blaze,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
By R.L. Stevenson
