In the days of yore,
The times of Camelot...

Last night I gazed at the roaring fire,
Radiating warmth from the fireplace...

A long and touching story behind all this but I...
Take a deep breathe with a slow exhale...

You’ve taken my mother
and in a sense my father too...

Father a year has passed
Since the day of the news...

Hair of red and sparkling eyes
A smile more brilliant than any sunrise...

The leaves have all fallen
Barren trees do explain...

You would tuck me in every night
With gentle kisses and hugs so tight...

It's the pain of losing something dear...
It can rip out one's heart in a single beat...

I stand and gaze at hallowed grounds
What once stood is no more...

Today is the anniversary of my Aunt's brother's...
A savior, a true hero...

A family of the past
One of the present...
