Help Me Remember

WHY IS THE SHADOW OF MY SEARCH HINDERED SO .
MY FLEETINGS LIFES SUM,NOW FADES TO DISTANCE.
WHERE ARE THE LAUGHTERS OF SCHOOL HOOD CHUMS.
OF FAMILY REUNIONS AND BIRTHS  AWAITED IN DULDRUMS.
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FROM ME AS TO ROB ME SO.
MY PRESENT NOW PAST BUT ONWARD I GO.
I LOOK FOR YOU IN FAMILIAR CHILD HOOD HOMES.
OF FACES SO APPEASING IT DELIGHTS TO COMFORT A SOUL.
SO DEEP THE HURT OF TIMES SO DEAR FOR JUST ONE MORE CHANCE .
BUT COMES THE VOICE OF ONE SO GREATER THAN I .
BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT IS AND NOT WAS.
LIFE IS BUT A VAPOUR HERE TODAY AND THEN NOT.
OF VICTORIES WON AND BATTLES FOUGHT.
BUT NOW I PRESS EVER FORWARD TOWARD THE CALL.
HIS HAND STILL GIUDES ME TO KEEP ME FROM THE FALL.
OF ALL WHO ARE AROUND ME AND ALL THERE IS TO DO.
HELP ME TO REMEMBER I OWE IT ALL TO YOU.
