Legacy

By Crasterfarian

I came across this today while shifting some files off an old drive, I wrote it after PMA Snr passed on in 2011.

I didn’t post owt for Fathers day this year…. so maybe this discovery was a poke in the ribs from an ethereal little bar, somewhere in the blue yonder, where they never call time and the craic is beyond legendary.

How long after do they no longer come
To visit your stone in the long setting sun

Are flowers still brought and memories shed
As they stand at the graves of those who are dead

We fade in the memory as our own seeds grow wild
A photo hung somewhere, a man and his child

Pictures all fade as the frames collects dust
Rotting so slowly in emotional rust

Forgotten as people we slip to the past
Becoming a memory oh way to fast

A blink of an eye we spend on this earth
Being human with feelings is really a curse

Our grief is the price of love so it’s said
but just for the living, not for the dead

There is nothing after so enjoy while you can
Time wont stand still for woman or man


RIP PMA Snr
