I’m humbled to have been part
Of a new generation following their hearts
I remember when you were young
Back when you first learned to run
And became part of the changing wind
That blows through life its own way
I recall the bikes I bought you all
And seeing just one of those grins
Was worth every penny I spent
But I must also mention how they
Added to the memories in my heart
On many of my cold lonely days
They’ve always managed to keep me warm
How I wish I could run with you all now
Like a silent shadow and time does
Oh, the old days are never really gone
If you ever loved someone
From the soul of your open heart
They’ll live forever… and a day
.
Love Papa…
