Evergreen

Writing Is

If nothing gold can stay 
And yesterday is gone 
But all along the way 
Remembered in a song 

If words can last forever 
Preserving every note 
Saving what you felt back then
In every little quote 

If pen and ink stay mighty 
And human hearts prevail
We won’t forget the quiet rain
The sunshine or the hail

If song and story gather
To set it all in stone
The poet writes the burden his
To give it all a home

If time should pass too quickly 
Forgetful we grow too
Written words are evergreen 
Forever here for you
