Catching The Sun, Too

The first meerkat stood in the sun, Another joined him there, No other work that must be done, No other chore to share... And so began the brand new day, Just watching clouds roll by, Sometimes they'd simply melt away, No longer in the sky... The meerkats wondered where they'd gone, How could they disappear? How come they didn't carry on? Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Oh, dear! And yet that comes to all of us! Yes, even meerkats, too! And what's the point to make a fuss? There's not much we can do! Thank God for life that's been allowed While you're still in your prime! Don't wander lonely as a cloud, Make friends while there's still time! So take the hint and live life well, You'll see God's got a plan, If you want life to turn out swell, Then help your fellow man! Denis Martindale September 2017.
