A Thought for Today
With understanding comes both recognition and resignation.
This
One Does It For Me!
Dear Sir,
Back in the 70's I found a poem book with various poems by Rod McKuen
but have been stationed in the army all over the world since and I have
misplaced or lost the book.
My favourite in the book was Some Trust in Chariots with great big
yellow wheels and I cannot seem to be able to find the words or a copy
of the poem. What is the possibility to get a copy of the words? It was
a poem that when recited made me believe that there are always better
things in life than being worried.
I would be most grateful if I could have a copy of the words.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours aye
Sidney Goodall
Thanks for your letter,
Sidney, and welcome to A Safe Place to Land.
You are quite correct, "Some Trust in Chariots" did appear in a number
of Rod's books, even though it's a song, not a poem. He often included
song lyrics at the end of books which led people to believe they were
poems.
The good news, in case you missed it, is that the version of "Chariots"
which I've chosen for today will soon be available on Compact Disc. This
is one of many tracks which Rod has remastered for the upcoming release
of "Live in London" and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
The vinyl double album is one I purchased directly from Stanyan when it
was first released back in 1970 and it remains one of my favorites. Not
only is the content excellent but the quality of the pressing far
superior to our local albums at the time. I remember saving for months
for the album and I think the import duty amounted to more than the cost
of the album!
Thanks for writing, Sidney,
and you'll find the lyrics at the foot of the page.
