"Easter Basket '92"

This has always been the time to reflect
This has always been a time of ponderous thought
Look back on the years
My there have almost been forty
And I don't yet know if I'm happy or not.

Lover's little stranger grew up hungry
And holidays speed by with rapid ease
Did I e'er feel love?
Was I indeed happy?
And will the coming years my heart appease?

Happy Easter it's another day
Preconceptions always
Get in the way

Christ is arisen and the end's not here yet
And will I be happy or lose the
last bet?

This has always been the time to think
My life has been full and precise
I did everything I ever wanted
I reaped wild vast rewards
But somehow I can't break the ice.
1992
