forewarning: testament
this is what I leave behind
a testament for me to find
when the present's taken its toll
I'll open this drawer to take a stroll
down the cracked concrete of Back Then Street
I'll not be afraid of what I meet
for whatever happens to Me Today
makes the Me Who's Here To Stay
and I know, forevermore
I'll be okay,
I'll be okay
the names will get mixed up
the faces, hazy
the memories shan't always be clear
but my ink will stand bold
keeping a story told
the makes, the aches, the breaks, all here
the important things
of yesteryear
