Junemarie's Song
by Junemarie Roldan
My daughter and I, in happier times
Your eyes as grey as the falling rain
You no longer want to play
Your face that now is filled with pain
With memories of yesterday.
Some of which were caused by me
And the father that threw you away
The years that followed in misery
You were always the one to pay.
The frenzied search for love you sought
Was always a battle lost
When precious pieces of you were broken
It just wasn't worth the cost.
You always were so true to yourself
No compromise you gave
You'd give and give to others
Yet yourself you couldn't save.
There is a love just waiting for you
Just stand tall and strong
Someday someone will SEE you
And make your life a song.
Until the end IÂ’ll be with you
You are a part of me
And I'm so proud to call you my own
My girl, my Junemarie

| Posted by Vere Mantratriad on 07/23/06 at 02:24 PM I keep meaning to take note of this: in the last stanza, I don't know if it's a typo...but I ADORE how the two You's blend... "Until the end I’ll be with youYou are a part of me" It's absolutely perfect... so if it is a typo, please never fix it! |
