Oh Very Young

What will you leave us this time?
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while.
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now...
They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans,
Denim blue, fading up to the sky.
And though you want him to last forever you know he never will...
You know he never will.
And the patches make the good-bye harder still...

This is a song by Cat Stevens. My dad loved that song, and I have always loved it because he loved it. I had no idea how poignant and fitting it would be. I can hardly listen to it now. I'm sure with time I will grow to love it again.



We miss you Granddad.
