A Cold Winter Day

The cold winter day he left us behind A last spark of light would fade from his eyes Now he can have back his body and mind To sit on the sidelines, never the kind But fog clouded up his where’s, who’s and why’s The cold winter day he left us behind Fixing cars til he couldn’t, nose to the grind Missing the days of a brew with the guys Now he can have back his body and mind Glimpses of self fewer as he declined Letting go before he said his goodbyes The cold winter day he left us behind Now he can finally relax and unwind Now his young soul free of ailing disguise Now he can have back his body and mind Bittersweet, a loss but peace he will find Maybe he’s dancing somewhere in the skies The cold winter day he left us behind Now he can have back his body and mind
