Some Memories Don't Die
Some Memories Don't Die


The wrinkled cheeks and the slender lips
All I recall is her smile in those clips
Of the video that my family showed
Of the lady who once resided in abode
She made the home feel like paradise
And the dawns were bright and more alive
I swung my early days in her arms
And yawned the nights and dozed the calms
My wonders were her miracle lores
Oh I was a mumbling kid I tell you folks
And years passed, I was two or three
When the dream emerged in my sleep
The brisky breeze had a news to tell
The morning came with whispers' yell
Rushe
d the fleet to the destination
The daughter was naive
Of her mother's depletion
So was the child who had the premonition
Who dreamed the autumn and segregation
Lost was the part of the family's root
The stars welcomed the comer in troupe
She was mother's mother,
A lady with feathers,
A distinct penumbra
She did living for others.
And if I be asked,
My words will shout
To throw the letters
Of praise. I'm proud
She is living to give
A shoulder to rely
She is living in my memory
And some memories don't die.
