BEYOND A REASON

When I am old beyond a reason
Grant my wish before you go.
That your kiss will brush my forehead
And your prayers will touch my soul.

May your voice be as a whisper
The song of birds in repose.
Recall my tales of passon
My childhood active in my soul.

When I am old within some reason
Show the essence of time in a moment.
Children stomping rain puddles, laughing
A pouring rain leaving a newborn's scent.

Remind me, tell me, joke of our follies
Reassure me love was sincere - a heart
that gave enough (was it enough?)
Holding, raising you both for your life to start.

When I am old beyond a reason,
And my soul will finally sleep,
Brush a kiss aginst my forehead
Smile ado until we meet. {/b}
