REQUIEM OR NOT?

 

 

Farewell to you whom I once loved

Good-Bye to one that has been shoved

From down below to up above,

Farewell to you whom I once loved.

 

When everything is said and done

The happy one you will become.

Hence, dark to light you will be from,

When everything is said and done.

 

It hurts me more than it does you

To move you out as I must do

I question if you realize, too,

It hurts me more than it does you.

 

The pain, it’s going down my spine,

But just remember you were mine

When gone you are this final time.

The pain it’s going down my spine.

 

I told you when the weather warmed

I told you when the bees had swarmed

A lovely yard sale would be formed.

I told you when the weather warmed.

 

You see?  They’re here, their eyes delight

When they look up and in their sight

Is you!  The wondrous, magic kite!

You see?  They’re here, their eyes delight!

 

Six houses down, I’ll see you fly

And children looking to the sky!

Just wave to me as you go by.

Six houses down, I’ll see you fly.

 

And richer by a buck I’ll be

I really need the space you see

So I can buy more things for me.

And richer by a buck I’ll be.

 

Unless of course I change my mind

And want to fly you one more time

What do I care for 10 times dime?

Unless, of course, I change my mind.

 

I run with you across the field.

This is so fun that I’ll not yield

This ball of string that I do wield.

I run with you across the field.
