The Old Stony Hill

The memories of what was I do retain In fancy I stand on the stony hill again North, south, east and west I can see far and wide Across the sunlit brown old countryside The old stony hill it is so old in time Long before the dinosaur age reached it's prime And long before people came and built the town The old stony hill stood tall in a landscape of brown The creek from the foot of the hill it is trickling slow It carried more water many Seasons ago Long droughts caused by climate change has left the landscape bare And wildlife sad to say have never been so rare From the old stony hill I now live far away But in fancy I climb to it's summit today.
