The Song Remembers

The Song Remembers

Even when we don’t

Recall the moment

Every hour of every day

But then it happens

That song that played

When you were a child

When you were playing

Hiding and Seeking

Challenging

Yourself

To swing a little higher than you did the day before

Convinced if you swing high enough

You would touch the sky

When you never ran out of anything to do

When there were more games

To win and play

More skinned knees and prayers to say

The Song Remembers

When you think you have forgotten

Those times when

You made choices you now know were wrong

But can’t go back and do them over again

The Song Remembers

That day when

You got to swim

All alone

You and the water

Feeling of serenity

Feeling of space

Just the rays of the sun

Warming your face

The Song Remembers

The love of your life

The one you gave your heart to

Not once but twice

The Song Remembers

Not just the glory

But also the pain

Of all the days and years

When the rain outside

Could not compete with your tears

The Song Remembers

Sunday afternoons

Saturday walks

Hand in Hand

Sometimes quiet

Sometimes a lot of talk

The Song Remembers

Those long nights

When all you could do was pace

When everything seemed hopeless

For the deeds had been done

No matter how many people around

You felt you were the only one

The Song Remembers

No matter how long you are in the race

And if you are me

I remember you mama

and your

Amazing Grace
