Memories by First Fool 11/14/08
Under these stars, when I was a lad
My chores done I’d wait on my dad
I’d race him, trying to match is stride
Somewhere I grew up, somehow he died
Now under stars not as grand
With this great loss I now stand
Missing a man from who I was begot
Memories, what I want they’re not
But they are all I got
A sudden breeze sends me his scent
My eye corner catches a familiar glint
He’s close and I try and of wish him near
The spell is broke by my first tear
His presence from this world fades away
Leaving me the dust of yesterday
I feel his laugh just beyond ear shot
Memories, what I want they’re not
But they are all I got
No grave could hold that much I know
As my tears distorts the moon’s glow
It will be with his will and God’s grace
But I know I’ll again find his embrace
I’m left with my loss and the night’s view
Missing a love greater than I knew
A love that will not be forgot
Memories, what I want they’re not
But they are all I got
