Just Because…


You are not home and I am

The sun sets early and I long for this day to end

I love and like and hate and love and like, and on and on it goes

I dream

Do you remember that dream you had years ago, before we were married and parents?

I had one like that the other night

Now I understand why you were so agitated

Funny, that meeting and melding of dreams and reality

That fog in the middle

Full Circle


DNB

Out into the world you went Starry Night
Hope in your heart
Your mother to make proud
Boy to man to dutiful servant
Endless possibility at your feet

Out into the world you went Starry Night
Generations before you running in your veins
That Yankee Way and young dreams
Good you would do Ahead of you
Your past Your destiny

Out into the world you went Starry Night
God above you Earth below you
Rooted in the land Your heart to the heavens
You would serve
Serve all Serve forever Serve dear

Out into the world you went Starry Night
Across the land Across the years
From the pulpit your words soared
To your Father To the People
Through time and place

Out into the world you went Starry Night
Simple Means Simple Desires
Life and Death Recession and Progression
You lived You thrived
Did you long for more?

Out into the world my son will go Starry Night
Your blood in his veins
In your photos I see him
In his face I see your legacy
Simple Service

Out into the world we all go Starry Night
Endless possibility at our feet
