ADAGIO
ADAGIO
Do not ask why sad music is slow
Reverence should never be rushed
For those memories looking back
A certain thoughtfulness is correct
Allowing remembrance and respect
For all that has now faded to black
And all voices that now are hushed
Yet the river Styx continues to flow
I can’t turn back the hands of time
As our lives must all now move on
Embracing tomorrow not yesterday
Feelings can be seen in many guises
Face a future with its own surprises
Autumn leaves all get blown away
What’s to come, not what has gone
Even if sounding like complex rhyme
There’s always the room for a smile
Grim expressions can’t last for long
Despite whatever the heart may feel
Sadness is not a permanent fixture
We are each made up as a mixture
If the day is cloudy, at least it is real
An occasional look back isn’t wrong
So, remember, if just for a little while
