Innocence Healed By Time
By Shane
A tear fills my eye as I look at the man, The one who I wish was the one that I am Watching the meadows swaying to pass time I am so young but I’ve passed my prime The sun dries my eyes as I think of the kid Some many years ago, he did as I said Sometimes I feel that thinks I am dead If only he knew what I did That boy is a man now, that man is my son He lost his real father early in one mornings sun He only wants to know why Why did his daddy die? Well, his innocence got left behind The day that I left, I denied We’re similar despite all the lies He has his daddy’s eyes, he has my eyes Alone I look on like I’m trying to speak The odds of reconcile are looking bleak He’d just be wondering, who was I? As I gave him a past he was taught to deny I can’t speak to him, but I guess that I’ll try What can worse than father that died? Could my innocence be healed by time? The earth and the sun, now me and my son I’ll be here tomorrow, I hope he is too I’m certain that now I know what to do I’ll sit all the day and I’ll sit until night I’ll meet my son tonight Written April 11th, 2002 © on Apr 11 2002 08:05 AM PST 10 • 0
