Resonance Bf
RESONANCE
Is it natural for men to cry
Knowing what it may mean
Things that they have seen
Whether ugliness or beauty
Perhaps in the line of duty
Friends there on the ground
It is never too late to die
Or hearing a special sound
Like that old familiar tune
Memories fade all too soon
Maybe a single wild flower
A chance to spend an hour
Yet few will ever know why
No need to hold back tears
Resonance will have its time
Sensing when emotions climb
Places that one may recognise
That photo of summer skies
Familiar faces from long ago
Realising just how many years
And letting inner feelings flow
Memory is a powerful thing
And the shock it may bring
It is that lump in the throat
Recall events of special note
A release for all those fears
