Overtime as a song

Grandmas packing all her things away
All the stuff saved for a rainy day
the rain is near
oh the rain is near

Pleading offer take one more gift
Please it was for your kids
A life time of memories
It’s just too much
No more room in the hutch

When I was small you were so strong
Lunches, sleep overs a silly song
A words of advice
Now all gone

A grandchild’s wedding that never came
the book and poem about love
yellowed garnish of loves commitment
a faded black dress
no more need its all done

now its done
except the ending
I leave you in care for the aging
a cruel trick of the years
so much gone and now the tears

and oh here comes the rain
and oh here comes the rain
now shes good as gone
but still feels the pain
dam the rain oh dam the rain

nature turns and turns again
what begins always ends
just one more step on the path
the gates are very close and very far

days of longing left for you
what has been done is done for good
no more choices left to you
time has no conscience just marches on
it forgets not a one

now as you lay in bed all day
memories of the past your stay
sometimes a smile sometimes a tear
and now here comes the rain
all the thing packed away
the stuff saved for a rainy day
the rain is here and there all gone
just this love in a song
