Once upon a time

There he stood upon his tower

Looking down across the hill

Like a dot a house appeared

In the distance  there in front

White it was, with little gardens

Had for roof the sky above

Water tricled when it rained

Drops of tears soon to dry 

Though with povetry was striken

Happy sounds were heard aloud

Music joyful and laughter

All night through, they played and  shout

How come, the poor are happy

singing through the night, to dawn

He did wonder, but the answer

was not there for him, to own

So he set along to journey

with his own eyes to see

What was all  this strange commotion

 At the house upon the hill

Stood and hid behind the bushes

Til dusk came, and light had gone

Then, show love shine on faces

Love could he, not buy with gold

Humble bread, upon the table

Plates were empty

But hearts full

Joy, and goodness overflowing

Things so simple

Free and pure.
