A SINGLE THING

BY:      BARNEY SHEPHERD

WE TURN WITHIN.
            WE LOSE OUR WAY.
WHEN THING GO WRONG
            WE KNEEL AND PRAY.

WE CALL ON GOD
            TO EASE THE FRIGHT.
OUR MEMORY WANES
            AS THINGS GO RIGHT.

MARK ONE FOR ME.
            MARK ONE FOR YOU.
THERES NO LIMIT ON
            WHAT WE CAN DO!

THIS COULD BE TRUE
            IF WE WOULD SHARE,
ALL WE HAVE,
            AND REALLY CARE.

CAN WE TRULY LOVE
            IF WE’RE NOT REAL?
CAN WE BE FRIENDS
            IF WE DON’T REVEAL?

AS WE BREAK THE BREAD
            AND SIP THE WINE
REMEMBER, FRIEND
            WE TEND THE VINE.

WE PLANT THE SEEDS.
            WE PRAY FOR RAIN.
WE PLOY THE CROPS.
            WE REAP THE GRAIN!

WE REARRANGE.
            WE HAVE OUR FLING.
BUT, WE’VE NEVER MADE,

A SIMPLE THING!
