A Cherished Memory

Just came back to my mind

Can you read it one more time,

I really dont want you to go.

Read it like Grandpa did,

Ask him, he would know.

Im sorry son its getting late,

Its far past your bed time.

Cuddle up with Rosco here,

And he'll calm your racing mind.

Are you sure you cant mom,

Just once more to hear;

Hear of Grandpa's love for me,

And how he wishes he was here.

Dont worry your little head,

You will see him once more.

Just dream the night away,

He is safe on heaven's shore.

Your mothers right you know,

Oh Joey dont you see,

Im here with The Lord;

Watching over thee.

This, in my opinion, is one of your best writes. Excellent job well done.

[Sir Joseph]

Thank you so much!

[Ethale Captor]

No problem.

I lost my grandmother just over a year ago.. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. What we'd do just to see them once more, if only in a dream.. I love your perspective change from one verse to another. You have perfected this.

[Sir Joseph]

Thank you! And yes nostalgia is a powerful thing, i am comforted though that i will see him in heaven. Have i really?????

[Ohhhwillow]

Unfortunately I find that I cannot have this comfort. I do not see god, or religion in general as a foreseeable answer or guide. What a comfort it must be.

[Sir Joseph]

I am sorry that you do not believe you can have this comfort. So i shall not brag or go on how wonderful it is.

[Nick.B]

[Sir Joseph]

Well written I loved the complex yet simple structure your grandfather was a wonderful man from what I hear and you will see him again:)

[Sir Joseph]

[Marie]

Don't worry your little head/You'll see him once more/Just dream the night away/He's on Heaven's shore...

This isn't really very good, but I don't think you're gong to find anything appropriate to rhyme with "Heaven".

[Sir Joseph]

Ahh thank you very much!!
