Familiar Faces
Sinking in peace and grounded
in my thoughts.
Memories in my mind page for page.
The gift of life
and the many days taken for granted.
Wondering what is waiting
once all is done.
Walking dusty roads seeing familiar
faces.
Hoping the judgement is not harsh.
Do not let the memories burn away!
The gift of life and familiar faces.
Do not cast me away into oblivion Oh God
with no comfort from your voice.
Do not punish me to the point I won't recognize
my own face.
Give me a chance Oh Lord
to right my wrongs.
Remembering the hymns of my mother
the songs.
Do not cut me off from you and all
of the familiar faces.
