Memory

I am a memory, fleeting and sweet

In the book of life, just a blank sheet

No wonderous feat did I achieve

Or broken hearts behind did leave

A memory that cannot whisper or speak

A wind that blew, tumultuous yet bleak

Sleep, in your dreams now you will see

A blissful dream, a sweet little memory

When you awaken, I am your morning dew

When you sail, I am your faithful crew 

A lonely feather in the wind wafting by

With majestic wings, I am flying high

You saw me getting tired you did not care

You wanted more time for us to share

You watched me suffer, wither away

Yet you prayed to make me stay

Let go, it is time for me to walk alone

No rest, no peace I have ever known

Close your eyes now and let me be

Just a sweet little Memory
