That Day You Were Born

that day creeps forward...that day you were born
with memories behind me I've crawled slowly forward
no longer in my dreams, nor can I remember your voice
but I remember your words and how you left without choice

do you rest easy from your cloud in the sky?
with angels and harps do you see from up high?
do you watch me and smile or look down in dread?
can you send me a message when I'm in over my head?

I once thought I lost your little metal tag
I found it and carry it always in my bag
we may not have always seen eye to eye
but I always felt your love and will till I die


no time for farewell or even one last kiss
did you know you were going and what we would miss?
that one last time I viewed you cold and still
it plays on this day and always will
