A change in tone ( after Guardian)

A change in tone ( after Guardian)

  Welcome, come, into this fold,
  this  hearth which you frequented
  Not once, but oftener at your free will,
  but Time’s cruel naughty, jaunty
  excursions detered you for sometime.   
  Me ever extending arm of  cordiality
  You are welcome here.How often we
  Walked through the rustled path, held
  green in our hands, conversed with  them;
  My memory verdant with recordations   
  Of dinner and plates cling clang in
  Kitchen sink. Your hurried step homeward
  Was always ringing in and around the house.
  Now on the different path: some hiatus.
  Camphor with incense stick would enliven
  My spirits now in low flame.
  Things are different, still you are welcome
  Come feel free; yet the present differs
  From the past, easily identifiable.
