Happiness Was
The year of two thousand five
The best year of my life
My Gus was alive
Happiness was
His arms holding me tight
His smiling eyes on me
Beautiful blues twinkling bright
His hand on my knee
When we rode in the car
His hand on my knee
Riding his bike
Near and far
His chest was my pillow
His heart beat in my head
Stroking my hair
"I Love You" he said
His hands holding mine
His lap my favorite chair
His lips how I miss those
Tender kisses on my hair
His scent in the air
His voice my favorite sound
His happy laughter
Always around
His heart pressed to mine
His body my bed
His thoughts in my ears
His chin on my head
His happiness my world
His embrace my calm port
His soul touched mine
His strength my support
His mark left on me
His love didn't fail
His spirit still clings
His essence shall prevail

A couple steeped with age, sits in rocking chair
Both with wrinkles on face, and silver their hair
Back and forth they rock,

I have carried with me,
through every town I chose to flee
into every house I tried to make my home
the only thing that
YOU CAN'T FORGET
You hold your chin up,
higher than you should...
you have so much more pride,
than I ever could.
You walk so
Whisper wind, through the remaining chimes
distant, weak.
The house is peeling, like my skin
The sun is blaring, like my mind.
