Evening bells, chime

melancholy sweet

a happy mellow 

is it a prayer? is it a prayer?

wrapping as with a mantle

a father’s loving care.

*

 Changing times toned

a long ago joy

with melody memory [thanks]

is it a prayer? is it a prayer?

people have loved me

some still do, some are gone [where?]

*

Changeless yet changing

I have not changed 

I need to be loved, hold hands

is it a prayer? 

touch me with kindness

just let me share.

*

I just want to share.
