Woulds’t I

Yes I feel emotional
I enjoy working well
In the garden sawing logs
And To myself I tell
Little made up ditties
That one day I may know
That all I ever wanted
Out of life was to love her so

My hands are very painful
But Still I want to saw
I can do it sitting down
Its what the chair is for
My aching shins and aching thighs
Preclude standing too long
Today I filled two buckets
And it makes me strong

In the Spring Time sunshine
Noticing the sights
Hearing bird song
Seeing colours
All those special lights

Being on my ownsome
And Nature on my side
She never has a go at me
She never says I have lied

She just lets me do my thing
I saw the logs and I
Am proud to help
And hope one day when I die
Someone may just think of me
Kindly that is all
I ever want out of this
Not to be seen as a fool

I do enjoy her garden
Her totem and her tree
The apples on it crisp and sweet
And low enough to be
A prize for me at autumn time
All that golden charm
Today I did some sawing
And whilst doing it felt calm

Sadly I am happier now
To just be on my own
Writing talking to my self
For I do feel so alone
People think I am useless
They have little time for me
But I believe it matters not
When sawing I am free

To believe I make a difference
To help warm others who
Might not think that much of me
But its so lovely to do
To get the sawdust on my arms
The rich smell of the wood
And carry them into the store
For those cold nights will be good

And that she may remember
It was me that loved to saw
But only for her just for her
All others I ignore
Its my puny show of love
To make her winters bright
Burning wood that I have sawn
And All done in plain sight

For I know that I frustrate her
And so my gift is one
Of logs and wood and little things
Of sitting in the sun
Perhaps when I pass on
I can come back and sit a while
Near the totem I
Can Saw some wood for winter
And keep her wood pile high
