It is time to go back
Back under the stained glass windows
That let light onto the back row pews
Where I sit at 2PM on a Tuesday
No one else is in there
Except me and thoughts of you
Thoughts of you with good thoughts
Thoughts of you smiling
Watching your grandkids grow
Watching me grow
Happy
Happy because I know you are at peace
At home, watching Jeopardy
At a restaurant, calculating the tip
At a soccer game, watching us score again
The tears have flowed and cleansed
And now it is time to be strong again
It is time to go back
