Jupiter
A babe is born,
the bond is formed,
time went on and on.
The boy ran fast
in days gone past
into his father's arms.
Hammers sang and wood posts rang,
the children built a house.
A shout, a cry,
a laugh, a smile.
The children worked and played a while.
The bond was made,
the bond that stayed,
and time went on and on.
The young man sat
with the sun at his back
on his sister's wedding day.
His family dear,
the time grew near,
the wedding music played.
His sister wed,
his childhood fled,
time went on and on.
His suitcase packed,
resources tapped,
it was time to leave his home.
A man now grown,
fond tears now shown,
he loved his family dearly.
time went on,
by and gone,
the bond was set in stone.
