Melodies of Life
Free as a mockingbird singing
No kids in sight and unmarried
Had one husband, but now none
Colleges broaden my horizon
Learning about the world
Heartache and heartbreak
Lost in the frenzy of despair
To death and grief
Lost the grip of my father's clasped hand
Visualizing roses tossed in the air
High School graduation day
Drawing pictures in the IRS building
Clasping my father's hand firmly
It's take your daughter to work day
Ears clear with clarity
As my mother sings me to sleep
A horizon of toys block my view
In my cradle fast asleep
