The pain remains
As memories fade
When our home
Went up in flames
The loss, the rage
The unexplained
The damage done
The rattled cage
The sunken lines
That show your age
Don’t look away
Just turn the page
For the curtain call
On the grand stage

We often have to choose between things,
At different times, for the wrong reason,
We twist it around, convincing ourselves,
Confusing our emotions, that it’s right, in our mind.
A stranger waving, the right candy, in front of,
The right persons, face, can change A persons,
Direction, in life, for A very long time,
Follow your gut feelings, special signs,
The path may, not seem as fun, or exciting,
In this life, we are to learn, and share,
As we prepare our soul, for eternity,
And it’s final journey there.

Time is all I have,
To forget me in your eyes,
Till there's nothing left,
