I was just thinking about my grandpa. Right around the time of his passing he put up a hummingbird feeder. I just felt like writing something for him today.
hummingbird
its been a week and he hasn't shown
but i can wait a little more
these lazy days just move so slow
beside the water by the shore
when I was young I had a gun
and trigger happy hands
conquests of the innocent
trying to be a man
I built this house into a home
my wife beside me with a nail
We worked until the sun went down
5 children made the sale
it wasn't long before it came
my cells just couldn't win
you cant ignore this kind of thing
you cant forget there is an end
But I have some time to spare
and the weather is so nice
I don't regret the things I've done
you cant reason with a child
these memories now make my day
under this October sun
Waiting for the hummingbird
I've put away the gun
