I Remember You

My uncles told me I could always

Come to you whenever I get down 

And after they have gone .

They said you would never

Hurt me ,

Because you got a heart of gold

And you have been around .

I have so much on my heart  .

The last time I saw you ,

You made this old man cry .

A few days later you drove

By my house and did not stop

To say good by .

As the walls close in on me ,

I wish , I could have your embrace

But your just to far away from me these days .

I guess that's the way you want it to be .

Oh what could have been ,

If nothing else you could have cut my gray hair

All because of the worry in my life .

There are days 

I get down on my knees .

I wish , you could see my family 

And yes to me your family too .

I talk to our uncles about every day

Because they understand me even today .
