Daddy Sang That Song
It is bittersweet
to
have a memory
powerful and
complete
that brings with
it a strong emotion,
a good memory
that
a smell or song evokes
but seeing it now
with the loved one
gone
brings a deep sadness
which cannot be quenched
with reason.
A reason which says
--Hey--
it's good to
remember good times
and pleasant things.
But the sadness
oozes out with tears
even though it is a smile
that should come
and a
thankfulness for the memory
not this overwhelming
melancholy.
