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.
