The Gypsy Quaker

<p>I am the guardian of the graveyard<br />the keeper of the gate.<br />I winnow souls and spirits<br />in a job I love and hate. </p><p>I list your joys and blessings<br />your terrors and your fears.<br />I gather up the hours<br />and stitch together days and years.</p><p>I am the watcher of the sleeper<br />come rest abide with me.<br />I’ll rock and hold and love you<br />for all eternity.</p>
