Melodies that go on. . .
Hope remains, yet softy I sigh
As the day fades into night
I start a distant lullaby
Once heard so long ago,
A melody new yet so old
Once sung to my mother,passed on to me
Some words forgotten, New verse written
All sung with love,
To their children delight,
Passed on to the future,
By generations of old, gentle melodies,
unwritten, shared by loved ones
For the future to share, from the past so old,
memories to memories, as children grow,
Passed on to theirs, till time does end
Gentle melody sung into the night
For my children I'll sing melodies so old
I sigh once more,
As I sit here with memories alone
Waiting for the future, in my room alone...
