Come
sit by me my child
And
I will tell of days gone by
When
air was pure and clean
And
oh....so sweet to breath.
You
could see the sky
It
once was blue like your eyes
There
once was green upon the trees
Now
barren brown is all you see.
The
water once was clear and clean
It
reflected the sky like a beam
It
sparkled with the light
To
see it was such a delight.
Animals
of every kind once played here
Squirrels,
rabbits, foxes and deer
Even
birds once flew up high
In
the sky when it was clear.
But
alas you can not see
The
things that live in my memory
I
can tell you how it use to be
But
it's not the same coming for me.
I
am ashamed my child
Forgive
me if you can
We
used our world without a care
Somehow
we forgot that you were here.
Maybe
someday you can see
All
the things I recite to thee
It
might come back all a new
Someday,
somehow just for....you.
