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.
