I watched you stitch love to your heart <br />Run patch after patch in the dark <br /> <br />Ah! Child, you cookie jarred your dreams <br />Englished leathered box of schemes <br /> <br />Then you roped the morning sun <br />Road it bareback just for fun <br /> <br />Oh! My, my sweet memories <br /> <br /> <br />You found muddy water tumbling in <br />Heard the tree fall in the din <br /> <br />Then swam across the frozen lakes <br />Mustangs charged, you didn't break <br /> <br />Used the moon to hold your head <br />As shooting stars fell like molten lead <br /> <br />Oh! My, sweet memories <br /> <br />Fare thee well now <br />Time struggles for words near the end <br /> <br />Fare thee well now <br />Hand held coffin, you come nailing in <br /> <br />Silver spikes with rusty ends <br />Come pounding down as they are driven in <br /> <br />Oh! My, my sweet memories<br /><br />Midnights Voice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/departing-memories/
