A Picture from my Future

There's something about her face

I remember seeing in another place

Somewhere buried deep in my mind

An almost familiar someone who was kind

And gentle to me a long time ago

But lost to me in Winter's snow

My aged mind fights against the dark

As death tries to corner me as it's mark

I escape again the killing shot 

And leave with this praise in my thoughts...

Someday in a time that's yet to come

A future that will frighten some 

The sun will fail to rise one day

And it will force the people to say

Oh, God, have you forgotten us

And wise men will sit and just discuss

Then I will finally remember her name 

And know that it was me to blame

But on that day when my world ends

This time well parted as loving friends...
