DUKES GARDEN DREAM
Sleep well sleep long
Quiet spring silences winters song
Your garden awaits
Now that your home
Let’s hold hands in the dandelion yard
Like when we were all young
Easier now with simple breath
Your love for us is forever
Why should you wait any longer?
Run to the place that you come from
Dream of the garden that holds you
Touch the sun that gives life
You gave so much to this world
Hesitation was not your word
Life was your demand
Pride is your flower
That now blooms forever
Your love waits beside you
Anxious pretending
But still calm
Touching remembering
Silent this time
It’s hard to imagine that steel made your hands
Rivers flowed past you
Not even a thought
The house in the valley cradled the dream
Lilac, Cherry, Apple
Pleasant man
The land on the hill begged for your dream
And your spirit surrounds it
You loved all that loved yours
Your toil reflects it
Our tears you reject them
Love is all you see now
From the beginning until the end
And we still remain
But remember your dream
Silent comes the morning
With your early thoughts
Planting a seed to this dying earth
Growing a love for us to believe
Telling the truth
To us that would listen
Time is too fast to tell all your secrets
And life is too short for all our goodbyes
Your garden grew more than you knew
And your life is all that I know
And your love is all that I know
And your strength is all that I need to know
We will remember you and your garden
And one day we will sow together
All of us like the sun
Full of love
In the dandelion yard
In the garden
One day home
All
We will come
My only father
Your only son
