Tom Wright Poet Lyric

A Product of My Memories

A Product
Of My Memories
WRITTEN: BY Tom Wright
11-21-2011

An inner longing for friends once known,
Even some, that flow has whispered away.
I’ve cataloged thoughts as time has grown,  
Time’s swiftness I liken to a bird of prey

God, has caused me to intercede, it’s true,
When naught, but He alone, has known;
And as time’s monumental chasm grew,
I testify of lost time, how it has grown.

But some I’ve embraced cannot return,
From surroundings of their final place;
To hear them articulate I often yearn,
And visualize once more a smiling face.

The pain of a friend’s temporary departure
Is always bested by the joy of their return;
Tom
