My Memories

My Memories I was thinking of buying a new house So I’m here with my son and his spouse Sitting outback looking up to the sky Hoping to see something go bye Wishing for a sign to see Something from my wife to me To move into an empty and cold house I would leave behind memories of my spouse I don’t want to leave those memories behind More memories in the house then in my mind When my kids were small They would play and mark up a wall I see memories on every wall Where my wife painted over marks from a ball A memory in every room Some good some with a little gloom It’s something that will always be Even the gloom is a memory to me
