Your Memory

I remember 
Sitting on your knee
The little songs
You use to sing to me.

Twinkle twinkle
Llittle star and
Today I passed
You on the street.

Hands like concrete
But gentle to me
Held me tight
And kept me naive.

We had our fights
when I was a teen
Words that we said
We didn't really mean

Time ticks bye
Things start to change
We grew older
My friend you became

It's days like these
Reminds me of fall
When my heartache began
When God came to call

I'll be okay
I wipe away the tears
Your memory holds me now
After all these years
