Wave Goodbye

reet the newcomer
I came here to stay
Exploring and laughing
All life is play

Bonds with my parents
Walking on tiptoes
Fights with my brother
Turn into big boys

Watch the years pass by
Fill the memories truck
Lean back, amaze, relax
and wave goodbye

Thrill of the first love
Shivering with sex
The pain of the breakup
Shields you create

Marrying the wrong one
Ten years neglected
Three children grown up
So lost, so forsaken

Watch the years pass by
Fill the memories truck
Lean back, amaze, relax
and wave goodbye

My eldest son told me
about a retirement home
His wife doesn't like me
I have nowhere to go

My youngest boy died
one day like today
I live with the sorrow
I die with the pain

Watch the years pass by
Fill the memories truck
Lean back, amaze, relax
and wave goodbye
