HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?

The laughter of a child
The clucking of a mother hen
Hearing a turkey in the wild
How long has it been?

Have you sat yourself down
Talked candidly like a friend
Like a friend newly found?
How long has it been?

Have you said to your wife
I’d do it all over again?
Today is the present tense of your life!
How long has it been?
