The Sunlight On The Garden

For the winds that will never blow

For want of Autumn leaves

For Spring that would never come

For want of Summer showers

For dreams I would never dream

For want of simple sleep

For places I would never be

For want of alternate destinies

For a life I will never live

For want of alternate choices

For memories I have forgotten

And memories I could not erase

For reasons I would not agree to

And for those I could do without

For songs I sing and those I don’t

For friends I have and those I lost

For all the time that was mine

And for a time when there will be none.

For those who wait for me

And for those who miss me from beyond

For all that I know

And for all that is unknown
