Swing sets and park benches
A kiss on the lips
At 6 years of age, does it get better than this?
You soared away
Disappeared for a while
But when you returned
I remembered your smile
The years flew by
And you didn’t change
At 21 years old
You came back the same.
Genuine and true
Giving and kind
A kiss on the mouth
And again you were mine
But I had to go
I was chasing big dreams
You understood,
We approached different things
And as I left
I swore we’d always be friends
The look in your eyes swore
We’d meet again
So I spread my wings
And had started to fly
But as I left
The angels fell from the sky
As they took you away, to a brighter place
I became lost, until I met with Grace
And as you rose to the heavens
Time here traveled sure
Although giving up seemed easy
It’s life we endure
And if I am certain of one thing now,
It’s this I learned from you:
(quote)“It’s not the year in our life, but the life in our years, that makes all the difference”
So until my time comes
I will chase these dreams
You will lift me up, so I can fly
Despite my broken wings.
And when the day comes
And it’s my time to depart
I’ll be with you again forever,
As you remain in my heart.
For George
