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.
