Song for Owen

                                  Do you remember

Not so long ago

When I could just pick you up

And warm your soul



We'd sit and talk about the difference between

The world of bad and good

And I was doing the best I could



Bedtime stories

Read you off to sleep

Wishing you all my love

And sweet, sweet dreams



I'd wait until you were closing your eyes

Just because I thought I should

And I'd wonder while I watched you breathe

What this crazy world had up its sleeve

I was doing the best I could
