I REMEMBER

 

I remember when you first came to us

A wanderer from beyond time

You saved our lives and protected our world

And we were proud to call you friend

But we failed to protect you

The torture that was enacted

The agony that you felt

Your mind had become broken

Your body lay beyond repair

Your soul hanged unbalanced

And your heart could not go on living in such pain

So now you hide in the unknown

Lying between wakefulness and slumber

Subdued and time-lost as the years turn over

And the world scarcely knows you are gone

But I still remember you

For my memories are still alive

With your sad story of so long ago

One day I know you will wake

Healed in mind and body

Maybe not in heart and soul

But I am waiting to share the burden of grief with you

I am waiting, waiting patiently here

For I remember you, strange wanderer

Will you remember me?

The child I once was

In the man grown tall

That yearns for you evermore

Do you remember me,

As I remember you?
