Today was set aside they say
For candy, hearts and flowers...
Years ago, in time long past
My mother told to me...
Tears, cascading down
A sad faced clown...
The girl-child grows and it
first appears...
Should I go at night
Or perhaps at dawn...
When I was young, I had a dream
Of how my life would be...
A father is so many things
But not all of them are good...
Larger than the universe, yet
Held in his daughter's palm...
One of many,
Yet always alone...
Something about a memory
Making time stand still...
Too long, too far
I've been away...
A man and woman
A son did bear...
