Woke up today a letter in hand
Ink smudged words from where I used to stand
Whispers of time from a place far gone
Old dreams alive in the morning's dawn
Lessons cherished caught in a paper's fold
Memories warm when the world's gone cold
Every tear and smile neatly stacked
A message from the past calling me back
Torn edges but the meaning is clear
Echoes of laughter the call of yesteryear
Through all the storms and the gentle rain
I find my way reliving the chain
Lessons cherished caught in a paper's fold
Memories warm when the world's gone cold
Every tear and smile neatly stacked
A message from the past calling me back
Faces forgotten voices so dear
In these lines they all reappear
Holding on tight to what they tell
In each word I find myself
Lessons cherished caught in a paper's fold
Memories warm when the world's gone cold
Every tear and smile neatly stacked
A message from the past calling me back
