I can remember the flag waving against the respectful sky We sat on the bench watching The metallic sounds of its status played deftly by the wind We sat on the bench listening It is not good sometimes to see how they leave this place We sat on the bench praying But you saw the birth of your memories instead of their end We sat on the bench remembering
The distance between his last breath and my birth an instant I sat on the bench painfully Yet I find myself wanting tomorrow to hurry up and arrive I sat on the bench impatiently I wanted to try to slow it down and the sun finally agreed I sat on the bench slowly The flag waved again filled by the wind his breath kept alive I sat on the bench faithfully
From a day I remember sitting on a bench outside a nursing home where my father was living his last days
