River of Memories

Longing crashing over silently missing Singing like a dream upon the river of memories Letting happy times be remembered with my grandmother Who now resides in bright Summerlands palaces Dreams upon the river of memories Remembering days talking of the past and visiting each other back in days long ago Back while she drew sweet breath Dreams upon the river of memories Back when I had my grandmother always proud of me Something I dream of even now and hope someday I will please her enough At long last, she will forgive my foolish mistakes Dreams upon the rivers of memories I long for a better time to see my loved ones Just once more happy and strong Even if I could not be there in person to see it a dream come true Dreams on the rivers of memories. I float along life hoping she is happy and well with our ancestors But what can I know I am but a demon she an angel I fall into the pleasures of the earth, she revels in the loving embraces of the heavens Dreams on the river of memories.
