it's funny how forever never seems to last
it's funny how much you'd lose if you forgot about your past

(For the Rev. James J. Daly, S. J.)
Bright stars, yellow stars, flashing through the air,

Its funny how remembering good memories can make you cry
Its funny how forever never seems to really last
Its funny how much you'd lose if you forgot your past

So often today
You have entered me,
Like a cool summer breeze,
Through the Sun-burnt grooves.

Or Better yet
Your private sea.
For it’s quite amazing

No, Bill, I'm not a-spooning out no patriotic tosh
(The cove be'ind the sandbags ain't a death-or-glory cuss).

with tears in my eyes i cried,

In everybody's house,
This funny, quiet little man,
Is sneaky as a mouse,

When does the living end and death begin?

Is like a rose preserved from time.
Or like a treasured bottle
from a vintage year for wine.

with his great big shoes
and funny clothes,

The Top and the center, the caves,
Something is there to do the basic,
Nothing is there to think angelic,

His hands are tan,
While mine are pink.

Strange, funny utterances incomplete;
Toddling walk on the faltering feet,
Falling down, the same to repeat.

Inviting Pinocchio, Little Roo, and you.
We will celebrate
With whatever cake I can bake

Along the line of day and night
Silhouettes of life begin to caress
the body of darkness in search of light

to their baths in Atlantic Cuty, for the lost

'TWAS a balmy summer evening, and a goodly crowd was there,
Which well-nigh filled Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square;

Blinding light of love,
Shining sun high above,
A white dove
Flies flaunting a sign of peace,

Brightens up the world with radiant beam
Never stops his shine even for fun
Ever stands as a leader of the team

I had pieces to learn by heart, but at twelve

I know, it's so dumb, but funny trying
WAR, around me everywhere
SOLDIERS, killing everyday, I swear.

Many of them cheeky,
Some shrewd,
Some crafty,

Who is that standing out there bold
He can stand the snowing night
He looks clean and very white

I believe in angels and miracles and the mystery of the unexplained.

when you waves
my fragile fate
