Life's Melody: Reflections in Picture Frames
Lyrics
We had packed our bags
We packed our bags, preparing to move.
And moved the family
Moved the entire family to an unfamiliar place.
To a place I'd never known
Reflecting on a place never experienced before.
There were sad goodbyes
Said emotional farewells to loved ones.
And quiet longing
Feeling a quiet yearning for a sense of belonging.
For a place to call my own
Longing for a place to truly call one's own.
And what I had
Reflecting on personal possessions to carry.
I would take with me
Taking belongings along but realizing a missed truth.
But sad to say
Regretting a realization that came too late.
I'd missed the truth
Understanding that lives surpass physical places.
That all our lives
Our lives extend beyond physical locations.
Are more than places
Life encompasses more than tangible spaces.
They're more than verses to a song
Lives are not just verses; they're a complete song.
They're the tune
Life is the melody, the essence.
She had photographs
She possesses memories captured in photographs.
Of every birthday
Documenting every birthday and father's love.
Of her father's love
Memories of love expressed through farm life.
For the farm
Cherished moments framed in pictures.
Her most sacred days
Special days, sacred and treasured.
In picture frames
Kept in picture frames, sharing her life story.
She would tell you all
Sharing her experiences and accomplishments.
She'd done
Proudly recounting all that she has achieved.
And what she had
Her possessions will be passed on to others.
She will leave with you
She shares what she has but retains her lessons.
But what she learned
The wisdom gained will not be lost.
She will not lose
Life's teachings endure beyond material possessions.
Because our lives
Emphasizing that life is more than physical places.
Are more than places
Life transcends the tangible; it's a complete song.
They're more than verses to a song
Lives are more than individual verses.
They're the tune
Life is a harmonious and meaningful tune.
Now, there are clean floors
Describing a new environment with cleanliness and emptiness.
And empty spaces
Spaces that were once filled with the warmth of a home.
Where there once was a home
Reflecting on the absence of the familiar.
And all the things we have
Possessions neatly packed in labeled boxes.
Are packed in boxes
All belongings prepared for the journey.
Labeled well and stacked along the wall
Organized and stacked, ready to move along the wall.
And what I had
Carrying personal possessions to the next chapter.
I will take with me
Retaining lessons and experiences from the past.
And what I learned
The acquired wisdom will not be forgotten.
I will not lose
Affirming that lives are more than physical places.
Because our lives
Life's lessons are integral and enduring.
Are more than places
Life surpasses the confines of specific locations.
They're more than verses to a song
Reiterating that lives are complete songs, not just verses.
They're the tune
Emphasizing that life is a harmonious and enduring tune.
