Starting through a path
Full of problems and dangers
Homer wanted to have some money
As Maria cleaned the shop
Miguel saw to the customers
And Jose danced around the tree of life
Then an Indian took him in a journey
To the ends of the earth
Full of ghosts and coca leaves
Where Homer found some papers
That changed his life
Bringing apocalypse to his soul
I REMEMBER
As I look at your pictures
I remember those years
When we talked
About life
They’re memories in space
Sounds that float in air
And fade away
In the infinity of time
Your memory is alive
In the world inside me
And in the universe
I see at night
Your words I hear
Like echoes from the past
Flowing through my soul
And reaching for the stars
IN MEMORY OF DAD
I have memories of you
Happy events of my childhood
Shrouded in fog
Dimmed by the years
As I remember you
I dissolve in tears
A proud man
Has been reduced to dust
What lies under the mud
It’s not my dad
He’s gone forever
And only lives in my mind
