Whittle down the moments
To the ones that matter most
Take part in the life
That free your ghost
Of past and present
Embrace that from which you came
Into the world
And see the room ahead
With eyes a new
Blaze with hope
For a new you
I see a future
Not as bright as the past
As the water flows to the grave
Of my father
To know what a future without the man
Who made me who I am
Uncertain are the hopes
But as the rain washes over the place
Of eternal rest
I have the memories I cherish most
To be an anchor post in this life
I have love of the man who
Helped build me from the ground up
I hold this hope
And will never give up
