UNCERTAIN WEATHER 5.29
A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever,
A face in a faded photograph.
He must have had a life,
Maybe with a family
And people who meant everything to him.
A sinner, a saint, a soldier.
Caught up in a war he never
Had a chance to start or build a life.
All gone long ago
Leaving no trace,
Disappearing like smoke in the wind,
To become just a face without a name,
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind.
Hopes and fears important plans,
Forgotten memories.
Footsteps fading in the sand,
Schemes and dreams small and grand
Nothing left to see,
Footsteps fading in the sand.
Someone who cast a shadow
Maybe just a lazy man,
Doesn't make much difference now it's true.
A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever,
A face in a faded photograph.
All gone long ago,
Leaving no trace,
Disappearing like smoke in the wind,
To become just a face without a name
One more to add to the total
Of those never heard of again.
Yes he's gone,
Just a face without a name.
Leaving no trace,
Disappearing like smoke in the wind.
