I REMEMBER BLUE
Mike Delaney 4/4/04
Robin’s eggs safely in a nest
Cloudless sky above the autumn trees
Morning glories twining up the fence
Seagulls bobbing on a placid sea
See the world bathed/painted
In my favorite hue
Yes, I remember blue
I remember blue
Faded jeans with that perfect fit
Driving off in my first shiny car
Cookie monster made my two boys laugh
Now they make me proud from afar
With time I came to know
What’s right and true
Yes, I remember blue
I remember blue
For years I saw it all
The blue from sea to sky
But my world is going dark
There’s nothing in my eyes
I try to make it last
But, Damn! It fades from view
There’s nothing they could do
I remember blue
I’m told my grand-daughters
Both have the bluest eyes
I feel their smooth faces
I hear their laughs and cries
I’d forfeit all I have
For an hour with vision new
Yes, I remember blue
I remember blue
