This one’s for Francis

by herbie-mackentire

In the Blink of an eye its all over again Since the beginning of time I have been your friend Time, you see, it's a human thing Where I come from there is no winter, no spring A day or a month,  no effect to me For me, all I have to do , is be On this trip around it didn't go so well You didn't find love. That hurt. I can tell. Losing your child, your friends and your kin When it hurt the most, you dug right in The mind you had, at some point, was lost linear thought, abandoned, tossed most of you blew away out there in the snow ranting and raving, you had to go Watching you struggle was pain for me too I felt as I witnessed life happen to you If you'll forgive me, please, my intentions were good You wont understand, I doubt that you could You pushed through your time, you lived all your years. Small joys were smuggled in among all the fears I have to be honest, I know that its tough Your best wasn't great, it wasn't enough. The grains funneled down in your hour glass Wrinkles, they grew, from the pain in your path your soul expanded, you learned to be Time to take off your shoes and walk with me
