In my youth I wandered here

Or went from door to door

And pleaded, begged and lost my heart

To someone who was bored.

It never seemed to matter much

The things we tried to do.

We came and went and learned about

True loves that were not true.

And now I glide upon the wake

And laugh about those days.

I see my ghost upon the shore

And raise a hearty wave.

“Prepare my son for what will come

Forget about the morn.

Someday deep love will follow you

And children will be born.”

“Have no fear about your days

Sleep soundly through the night.

Be a man and fear no woe

Seek beauty in the light.”

“Try to watch how others feel

And listen, think and grow.

Be a gentle man always

And plan where you should go.”

*******************

The river ever softly flowed

He turned and walked away.

But I could see he smiled awhile

Into the fading day. As though

He heard a voice inside and saw

A silver path. That led away

From his hard day and to my heart

At last.
