May the sun be warm and kind to you;

The dullest morn a radiance brew;

And when dusk comes-God's hand to you!

a wine glass upturned

 gasps of upheaval spilling 

tears seep dripping wet

 to cloth of safety

lowly farmers wear in fields

 of sunflowers bold

 this upside down world -

 caught in another tempest

oh these winds of woe

 a flood emanates

 who will swab the decks of misery

who captains this ship
