Roy Harper – the 80th Birthday poem

I wrote this a while back for Roy’s 80th birthday!

Roy Harper – the 80^th Birthday poem

We’ve walked many roads

Seen mysteries

And said our piece

We’ve reflected on love

And dreamed

In the music of time

We’ve sought better lives

Voiced objections

And made our stand

We’ve perfected creations

Given all we could

And held nothing back

For, in the end,

Isn’t it in the striving

That we live

                Have lived

                                And still live

                Happy 80^th Birthday
