afterglow

...hands that are strong but wrinkled
Doing work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of the shiny
by too many hours in the sun
Eyes that show some pain
and there's been quite a lot in his life.

...when he reaches that your place up there
God, You know what he's worth
give him that mansion up yonder
'cause he's been through that pain here on earth
God, give him my share of heaven
If I've earned any here in this life
'cause God I believe he deserves it.

[in remembrance of my dearest late father:
..a year has been gone
but you're still here close in my heart..
Pa... i still miss your smell, your tender touch..]
