Memory Of Home

I had to give up what I loved I had no other choice the place I loved was beautiful I still can hear its voice it sang to me a simple tune of hills and valley creeks it sang of seasons and of time and how the forest speaks it sang of passion and of love forgone with cold despair it sang of friendship and of faith without an answered prayer I don't regret the going forth but I cannot return a falling tear just adds to grief my eyes forever burn the road of life is long and hard and filled with loss and pain the greatest sorrow lies behind I can't go home again so I will dream of destiny as I recall the past for I remember all I loved as long as memory lasts
