Fading Memories

Is it wrong of me
Not wanting to cry
Not regretting that I never
Got to say a final good bye

Nothing more than familiar strangers
Never really a happy family
Now gone from this earth
You’re just a fading memory

I will remember you in passing
But not morn what was lost
I’m a childhood survivor
And will persevere at any cost.

I wish you well
On your spirits final journey
And want to thank you
For everything you never gave me.
