When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
(these lyrics remind me of last summer when we were visiting my uncle's house. He inherited all the old family portrait photos and has them hanging on a wall in his study. During a tour of his home, we stopped in front of these pics -- my grandmother, great grandmother, great aunts and uncles, all long gone, their lives lived and surrendered -- and the stories of some of them were heartbreaking.......stories about how 'he never seemed to love her very much....they never had children' and etc, and I stood there, seeing a physical resemblance between myself and many of them....and just thought, 'Someday I'm going to be on a wall like this and what are they going to say about me? Because it's obvious all of my living family members know how miserable I am....' I don't want to be that guy on the wall whom future family members hear sad stories about......my life over........)
ANYWAY!!!
next lyrical snippet please! You're up!
