Lay Down Your Head (poem)
Lay down your head beside its afterglow
And marvel at the things we left behind
For here and up ahead we are consigned
All else now forms a backdrop of our show
-
Lay down your head by world which we defined
Its truth is hidden deep within our flow
A beauty only we may come to know
A vision only our own fate assigned
-
The world may shout why didn’t you do more
And shine their golden medals in our face
-
The reasons for it all is hard to trace
Some words some other person might have said
-
So different is life which we have lead
Lay down your head our dream of all before
