Though the sky may fade, your eyes grow dim and rheumy and the sun lose its golden halo I’ll still see you I’ll carry a torch to light your  corner of darkness in the world Though your voice may quake and few may stop to listen as you fight to convey opinion I’ll still hear you I’ll listen to find a meaning through confusion in the words Though most sound is quelled and as if in sleep your ears miss the sounds of morning I’ll still speak to you remind you of who you are, both to yourself and those who care.

Fading Fast (for my father)
Though the sky may fade, your eyes grow dim and rheumy and the sun lose its golden halo I’ll still see you I’ll carry a torch to light your  corner of darkness in the world Though your voice may quake and few may stop to listen as you fight to convey opinion I’ll still hear you I’ll listen to find a meaning through confusion in the words Though most sound is quelled and as if in sleep your ears miss the sounds of morning I’ll still speak to you remind you of who you are, both to yourself and those who care.
