The memories flow as rushing water
Turbulent and foaming seeking and unknowing
Each bend shows erosion marking the passing time
In places seasons of wasted weeds grow
Yet, in the calm water is where I find you
Early storms caused swells
I watched as Mom cried
These moments rock me to my core
Learning right from wrong
Later learning I created my own
Crossing rapids and speeding through shallows
Sometimes I did so the hard way
As I witnessed the destruction created in my wake
And, then comes the calm waters
This is where I find you
The rush of memories continue to flow
Sometimes broken or incomplete
The stories get confused
As faces and places fade downstream
Again, in the calm waters is where I find you
As the jagged edges of pain are worn smooth
Fading memories of youth proving age isn't kind
Struggling forward nothing is the same
Knowing rapids are the norm of change
