Dinner and Friends
Dinner and Friends
I saw him smile at her
as he brought forth his hand
and i saw her smiling back
he had a flower from the land
so i wept a tear for every petal
that fell as the clock ticked on to eternity
i watched as he passed the plate
not just to her but to all who came
everyone always cherrished the feast
every mouth watering bite eased the pain
so i wept a tear for every morsel
the desire that forever tolls your name
i will for that ever be inspired
by that meager man so great
for god doesn't make men heroes
heroes are the memories men make
so i wept a tear for every sorrow
that his memory will replace
