Another Great Poem By Joy C
'REST'
Years and years ago
It’s been so long, so long ago
Fifty years or something so
It’s been like that for years, times two
I remember my first play back then
My first smile, first giggle
First dance, first rhyme
It’s been years and years I say
But I remember each day
Like it was yesterday
Fifty years have gone so fast
Fifty years of work and play
Fifty wonderful years and sorrowful years
A playlist of places and concerts on display
I’ll do a replay sometime, someday soon
My fifty beautiful and gloomy years
It’s gone too soon
Yet, I smile now, as I did before
On the day of my first single day
On this place, a place we call earth
A home to big to hold
But I held it all
In every step I take
In every move I make
I see those smiling faces
Of young ones and young hearted ones
All delighted for the fantasy
Of the fantastic
I remember his first smile
Our first touch
I remember hers too
My youngest, dear youngest one
I remember you too
It’s gone by to soon
So fast, it makes me sweat
I’ve never done so much before
You’ve made me see
There’s love beyond the lose
There’s life beyond the grieve
Now, I set you free
Live fifty more, live and let live
My fifty years may have gone
And now I may be too, gone I must say
It was a glimpse, my fifty years
We shared so much
And played with such
But none-the-less, I remember, yes I remember
The guy so gay
The father so pure
The brother so dear, a joker, yes with a poker
The man who gave
The world who craved
The highs and lows
My fifty years are done
Now I rest
Now I’ll nest
For some time, with the flowers in bloom
Till the day in May
I’ll see you again, that’s a promise I’ll make
To the guy I admire
To the ones I left behind
I’ll be back someday
I’ll be there
We’ll be there
With a smile
For a mile
For time will pass
And past it shall
For ends are ends
Not at all
One day, one moment
I’ll be back again
Again
You’ll see…
Thank you Joy C....this one gave me goosebumps. :-)
