The doctor said with joy: "a healthy baby boy"
|
October 4th of 1925
|
|
His parents had a plan
|
HeĄŻd live a better life
|
Be a man of means
|
Who knows, he might go really far
|
|
And then the days slipped by
|
And turned into years
|
And many pages turned in the story of his life
|
|
Took a detour through a war
|
Cast a shadow across his soul
|
October 4th of 1944
|
|
Stories he would never tell
|
So he had to write them down to keep them captive
|
On VeteranĄŻs Day he pulls them out
|
ItĄŻs a cleansing of the soul
|
And a freeing of his mind
|
|
He didnĄŻt change the world
|
But he eventually met a girl
|
Their child would be his only legacy
|
|
And so he cried to God
|
"ItĄŻs not what I had planned!
|
And thereĄŻs one more thing IĄŻll never understand:
|
|
How did the days slip by
|
When did they turn into years?"
|
How many pages did you get for the story of your life?
|
|
Call it what you will
|
Name it tragedy
|
But in the end he just looks back and smiles
|
ItĄŻs just his life
|
