• There once was a man,
    Who I once called Father,

    There once was a time,
    When I knew what I had,
    I knew of the good man he was,
    I knew that I was loved,
    I knew that time was all I had.

    Then there was a time,
    When what I had I never truly knew,
    I never knew how cruel he could be,
    I never knew how selfish he was,
    I never knew until time showed me all this.

    Then the time came,
    When I would speak his name,
    I would speak ill of him,
    I would speak in praise of him,
    I would speak with my heart.

    And now the time is here,
    With my memories crystal clear,
    Time to cherish the good times,
    Time to forgive the bad times,
    Time to say good bye.

    And time as it must marches on,
    With my father now gone,

    All that remains are thoughts of days long past, and a wish for more time...
