gaze out the window
A sweet melody echoes through
the speakers on the radio
Enchanted by the lyrics I'm caught
in its sadness
Closing my eyes I recall a moment
of gladness
In this cruel sad world it seems
the only place to be
Lost in the confounds of a pleasant
memory
Pausing at the doorway a little
nervous to venture in
That familiar smell of chicken roasting
in the oven
Mum standing over the stove
cooking up a storm
Wiping her hands on the faded apron
she'd always worn
Without wavering she radiates a
smile
Peeling potatoes while the rest is
cooking all the while
Her lips are moving yet I can not hear
what she's saying
Its like watching an old movie yet she
was not role playing
I'm simply lost in the sparkle of her
green eyes
She seemed so happy no frowns no
worrisome sighs
I look around searching out my
siblings
Only me standing in the doorway as
the voice in the background sings
My heart is elated for in that
sweet precious time
I am lost...lost in a Moment That Is
Mine...
