Well, I get bored, I write. I write when I get bored... pretty easy agreement. So, here's a new little poem for thought... kinda of a riddle..well, not really but kinda.

A Name

I once had a name
I'm afraid it's gone though
It faded from my memory
Some far off time ago

Yet they're still there
All my worldly memories
Of life and its struggles
All the foolish little remedies

My name was a great one
It labled something grand
A name held in every heart
All across this land

I've been there for you and you
Every stumble and fall
All those times you remember
Even the ones you can't recall

I stood by him and even her
They know this very face
I taught them to dream
How to create some new place

I showed them the way
TWhen they but asked me
All that I had was theirs
All it took to make them happy

I was there for all of you
Hidden in a possibility
Posing as a childish companion
Side by side though weren't we?

But as all things do
So I too must fade
You never mised me
Never wished I'd staid

I showed you this world and that
I made it all bright for you
In some ways I loved you all
But you never saw it through

Children that I know and knew
They are dear to me
They learn to fly under my gaze
How to sail across the sea

I once had a name
I'm afraid it's gone though
It became lost from memory
Some far off time ago.
