time to let go
i will be leaving in a few days...
will you miss me? will you care?
deep in my heart i fear not for a minute
this is the town were i was raised
a memory of years gone by and
many changes, many new faces
a place that once was safe and carefree
is now grown up and carries with it all
the dangers that man has to offer
no longer a safe haven for the innocent
nor a place for God's creatures to roam
mother nature weeps for her loss
passing time on the glider that sits on the porch
i reminisce of goodtimes i once had here
i think about the family weekend gatherings
it is mid afternoon in August
no children to be seen or heard
i know they reside on this street
no outside games where imagination is used
absent of street hockey, skating, jumprope,
to mention a few, including the sports games
i hang my head to hide the stream of tears
flowing down my cheeks, ashamed of myself
to judge what this town opted for it to grow
this will be my last goodbye to memories
good, bad, past and present...
to a place i no longer know
You never fail to amaze me with your ability to dig out the deepest emotions of the human nature. I was very moved by this piece of work since I have had to face similar emotions in the past. I share this feeling with you. Well penned and keep writing.
good visions, especially since i have never been "there". i still feel it. Please check out my stuff. one love Corey & co
