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
very nice sentiment. is the birdfeeder still up at the house?
