This Is Just To Say

This is just to say

I've just lost a friend
Another is ill
And one moved away

This is just to say

Old age really stinks
Our friends seem to shrink
We look to the young

This is just to say

Health rates top prize
We seem to be wise
Finding joy every day

This is just to say

Some things really rate
Sunshine, flowers, our mate
Give us joy every day
