of dreams
idly passing by
faded impressions then
vividly displayed as though now
sadly

of dreams
whence you were here
now that I can't see you
missing you ever more again
I cry

of dreams
of your presence
of your little footsteps
of your selflessly patterned youth
of love

of dreams
of the sadness
of these, that hath made me
binding together all that's good
I fall

of dreams
of now, of you
of our fathers fathers
coming forward to welcome you
homeward

of dreams
of life, of pain, of wondrous new days
of time slipping away and beneath us
go forth, my son
go forth, my love and conquer
all the things that are laid in your path
your steps are lighter your path seems yet clearer
one love to conquer them all, one love to bind us
one love to carry us on till treasured silence blinds us
one love left in my heart, one love so very
all that is left of me, upon their shoulders carried
go forth, my buddy and conquer all of the world
for standing there aside you, stands one pure love unfurled
