In remembrance of my father
A beautiful rose
Sat upon my kitchen table
How can something so beautiful
Just wilted away.
Just like love it come and go
Never knowing what tomorrow will bring.
Memory is all I got left of you.
The memories are so fresh in my head
As time goes by, they will
Slow fade away
You will cross my mind from time to time
Tears will fall
A smile will appear on my face
Because I know
That something so wrong turned
Out to be so right
You done your journey, job
you deserve your wings.
