Fullness of Heart
Inspired by the epic and beautiful movie, "Legends of the Fall". Excellent story; and brilliant performances and cinematography.
Fullness of heart

You said you'd wait forever
But forever was too long
You married someone else
And left me all alone
I can respect this
I wasn't the easiest guy
Too busy chasing
Adventures on the horizon
Somehow things worked out
In the destined manner
It wasn't always pretty
It wasn't always planned
So many loves and losses
We all suffered along the way
But ultimately we were free
Creating family history come what may
You struggled with your decisions
You couldn't take the pain
Not having children
Left an abyss filled with hurt and rage
You took your own life
And my wife died in vain
Too many tragedies
For our family name
I lived a full life
It was wild and it was free
My death was a good one
My ancestor's helped me see
Now I'm in Heaven
With all those I loved so well
You drift in a different circle
But I know you're doing swell
I look back on this life
And I do have my regrets
But sometimes I wonder how
Things could've worked out in retrospect
God and His angels
They speak to us about our choices
If we go back to another life
We need to hear their voices
But, as we know so well
When our souls come back down here
We forget all our knowledge
And start from scratch and tears
Maybe we'll meet again
In a different place in time
Maybe our souls will remember
Everything good that rhymed
Hopefully, each one of us
Will make better decisions on our path
And we will live a little better
With love and fullness of heart
