In Memorium - Garden of Remembrance

Many people have I loved in my lifetime,
just as have others that I know...

I have set aside this place that we all might have
a place to go and remember them
as they would have us do....

The names listed below are doorways to the past...
a way to go and visit with those who have gone before.

In time, I hope that there will be
a page attached to each of them.

Memory

Midnight, not a sound on the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamp light
the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moon light
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember
the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory Live again

Every street lamp Seems to beat
a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
and soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
the stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day
Has begun
