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
