[about the loss of my parents]
Now where did I leave them?
I could have sworn that
they were right beside me...
I lost them so long ago....
It was very careless I know
But now they are gone
and no matter what I do
I just can't seem to find them.
They were right beside me for all my life
.... through thick and thin
.... all sorts of strife
Now there's two gaping chasms ....
There's a Dad sized hole ....
and a Mum sized hole.
Both the holes in my life
are sort of strange now .....
The pain has faded....
and I'm sort of jaded
that the things I want to say
... it just can't happen!
There's no celestial telephone ....
no cosmic face-time ....
No way that I can share with them
how much I appreciate
just what they did for me.
And so I keep looking
through the dusty corners of my memories
hoping that one day I'll find
those parents that I've lost somewhere
And if I do I'll tell them
how much I love them
.... that I never forget them
.... Thankyou
