EVER AFTER

Like the rise of the sun that defines our whole day,
And the moon dust and starlight trickles away,
Can be captured — life in a capsule and shared as we pray.
As we find what we call one, the one, the one,
Our whole world — the one gives birth to the experience,
A flight like a bird that soars high.
The spark from two rocks colliding in time starts fire,
So small that will grow into flame, gives birth to the future,
And we give it a name.
This is our youth, our children, our past, our future.
The present means life here will last.
The danger of sorrow lies still at our feet,
A force fought together so our hearts don't retreat.
The push-forth remains in their pants,
Pants like cotton pockets with holes drop the chance —
Further the lessons, the life that we've lived,
Give the gift of our memories.
Let your children get a grip,
And our memories drip steady in the impression,
They leave on this pavement,
Like the streak of a runner leaves the street.
Time passes by but still it remains,
For the past walks away, the future can see,
The streak of the sneaker in the present it be.
To learn from the street of our past they now see,
Left from our impact — honey bee to nourish,
And grow a new seed right now,
To experience the sunlight from the darkness,
It grows for life ever after.
If we continue this song, ever after,
Our memories and impressions carry on.
