Leave All The Things Behind

The things

left 

behind

gently 

sing softly. 

As we 

walk 

through 

the rooms

of left

behind

things

it reminds

us of the importance

of the now.

Of Life.

Of your

life.

Don't you 

see what

I see.

My years

have 

so much

on you.

I see

your

eyes

and you

are tired.

So lets

not

talk about

that.

I will

guide

you

through 

the things

with 

polite 

conversation 

and 

laughter. 

The things

I want to 

say 

will

come

out 

wrong.

So I will 

write

them 

down and put 

them in 

a book.

I will leave 

it behind.

One

day

you will

brush

your 

beautiful 

red hair

behind

your ears

and you will

read

the words

in that book:

"Waste no more time"

You will 

let the tears

run down 

your face

and you

will 

leave

all the things

behind

and find

you.
