JUST A SONG AT TWILIGHT

“You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.”

 

― Frederick Buechner

 

A song that my late Dad would sing to me …

LOVE'S OLD SWEET SONG - ANÚNA

 

From dusk until the dawn I dream

and feel your presence near

looking from this little bridge

searching through a veil of tears

wishing you were with me

lulling me to sleep

with your beautiful voice

singing songs so sweet

lilting notes that tilt my world now

yet lift my spirits high above

memories flooding; rushing past me

remembering you with love

the trees here are much taller now

as I am too you see

I've grown up in your absence

I hope you will be proud of me

just lately I've been visiting

all my childish haunts

where memories are sewn into the reeds

whose whispers remind me of my jaunts

the picnics that we all would have

on Sundays by this very stream

seems so long now when our family was complete

seems a distant yet still beautiful dream

not many of us left here now

but those of us who are

will always keep you in our hearts

the songs you sang; the love; now far

far away as the stars above

yet I keep reaching for those skies

and singing all our memories

writing my own with heartfelt sighs

one day we will be reunited

beneath the setting of the sun

and one day the sun will rise again

and our family will once again be one.
