The Girl Who Walks Beside Me
Oh I’ve seen the papers, made by hands
Of the typists dawdling idly
And the words and whims of many mouths
Who wait to miss life’s timing.
Yet there’s nought a bird to miss their mate
No fish begrudge their swimming
I could join the crowd and miss my fate
And hunch my spine to bending.
But better off to see new lands again
With the girl who walks beside me.
By J.W.H. Hobbs.
