Friday November Fifth: Bonfire Night

Large BonfireImage via WikipediaIt's that time of the year for bonfires , fireworks; rockets , Catherine Wheels and for the faint hearted, sparklers:  

Don't forget to remember not to let the dogs out  !!

This poem-song  fits the bill  for today and heralds the onset of Advent which begins soon....




( It is by Pierce Pettis from a song  taken from an album called State of Grace )

Man is born to trouble
All the days of his life
As the sparks fly upward
From bonfires at night
They fill up the heavens
With pinpoints of light
And I've got a hope
That is not in this world
 
Time, it is turning
Like a plow in the field
It roots up the earth
And what's hidden is revealed
Sewing the future
While the past, it is sealed
I've got a hope
That is not in this world

Half of the battle
Is only with myself
While the other half
Is something I can't help

Lest I should stumble
I try not to forget
That every hair is numbered
Every footstep, every breath
And this life that I'm living
It will not end in death
I've got a hope
That is not in this world
I've got a hope
That is not in this world
