Lost Song

While Emmie was playing harp/guitar/singing at an art gallery grand opening Friday, I wandered about and found an 'open mike' reading group in progress in the park.
They were all singing songs, though -- so back to the car for a notebook under the seat.
There I found a song I wrote a couple of years ago. Not a dry eye in the group

LOVE YOU AGAIN

When I was young, and afraid of death,
And time a bag of golden coins --
I thought to spend some moments with you,
And maybe get some change.

But the coins ran out -- the wind blew in,
And I never got to know thee;
And I'm poorer now from having lost
Treasures you freely gave me.

When I was old, and afraid to live
And time a star out of reach --
I thought to wallow in memories,
And hold you to me again.

But the coins ran out -- the wind blew in,
And I never got to know thee;
And I'm poorer now from having lost
Treasures you freely gave me.

When I was born, given life once more
And know time by faith alone --
I thought of our love most selflessly,
And we came to be as one.

For coins shower in -- the breeze a kiss,
And I will ever know thee --
I am richer now for having found
Treasures life gladly gave me.
