Come with me to nineteen sixty three
The year Pope John died and so did Kennedy
We saw Lawrence of Arabia with Peter O’Toole
Listened to It’s My Party and She’s a Fool
Last year for the Studebaker
Martin Luther King had a dream
Great train robbery in Buckinghamshire
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane made us scream
Skeeter thought it was The End of The World
Liberty Valance starred Stewart and Wayne
They were The Days of Wine and Roses
Cascades sang Rhythm of the Rain
Dion had Ruby Baby and Bobbie sang Blue on Blue
Dale and Grace were Leaving It All Up To You
Little Town Flirt and My Boyfriend’s Back
In My Little Deuce Coupe, we’ll go to the Sugar Shack
Ben Casey and Kildare were two television shows
Remember the Dixiebelle’s Down at Papa Joe’s
Two Faces Have I was sung by a guy named Lou
Roy said In Dreams he missed Blue Bayou
The USS Thresher sank and all were lost
Poets mourned the death of Robert Frost
Elvis said his girl was the Devil in Disguise
Bobby thought the Night had a Thousand Eyes
The Dodgers beat the Yankees four games to none
The Essex said It Was Easier Said Than Done
Da Doo Ron Ron and Then He Kissed Me were sweet
Ray Charles was Busted down on South Street
Mockingbird and Surfer Joe
Memories from long ago.
Yesterday my daughter was twenty nine
And I tried wrapping my mind around it
Tried to bring to comprehension
The swiftness of the passing years
The baby in my hands like melted snow
The petals fallen
The pollen seedling into tree
The blossoms of another's spring
While winter sets on me
So hard to comprehend in her growth
That I prayed for this
Long nights of lullabies made insomniac
By the cries of her appetite
For the bottle I must warm and feed
To the tongues first addiction to delight
And I nervous kept her dry
Enslaved and trapped within each cry
Each protest she proclaims
Until I sing. The lullaby became
An anthem for me, my composition
My liberty.
And yesterday the baby spoke again
"Daddy, post my anthem on my facebook domain."
And the years just melted away.
