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.
