In your staring, silent eyes I see... the mask of my mortality............ Your time on Earth--your breath--is spent.............. There never was enough. Lament.....
But we were with you at the last --watching, crying, wanting more......... I was the one who said, "He's passed." --now whying, wailing, nothing more.
Yourself, your name, won't be forgotten.
My son, your name, has been begotten.
Neither here, nor near, yet never far. I swear I sometimes hear guitar! Your life was such great melody; I sing it now--sing it for thee.
