Generations Lost
By Paul Wilson


There are those
I will never know
Thru their veins
my blood does flow

I was born on
the breeze of yesterday
They were conceived
in the twilight of today

If the sands of time
could defy gravity
Then I could get
too know you... and you me

Photos will let you
look into the past at me
If into the future
I could gaze...you I'd see

Be brave young one's
in your journey thru life
For there will be much
temptation and strife

When flowers of Spring
kiss Winter's frost
I will be gone
another generation lost

Keep fresh my memory
in your heart forever
When angels sing you home
we will be together



~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~
Paul

Oh, Paul, this is at the same time very insightful and wise and on the other hand also melancholically beautiful.

"Lost" but not LOST ... as you know.

When the time comes you will be remembered also for your wonderful poetry no doubt.

Love.

very sad, but written in a way of peace and understanding...acceptance...

Special, this brings a feeling of past and future to it.
