Twenty Years

There are twenty years to go

And many friends I hope

Though some may hold the rose

Some hold the rope

And that's the end and that's the start of it.

That's the whole and that's the part of it.

That's the high and that's the heart of it.

That's the long and that's the short of it.

That's the best and that's the test in it.

That's the doubt, the doubt, the trust in it.

That's the sight and that's the sound of it.

That's the gift and that's the trick in it.
