Remember the day of sailing away

Time flies. And time drags. And yet it’s all the same 24 hours every day. But circumstances are what can make those hours feel like they last forever. Or pass by in the blink of an eye. And events can happen to help you remember the day. Or cast it out of your head forever. It was 12 years ago, today, a little two year old girl lost her battle with cancer. And I didn’t know her. Didn’t know her family…except for her maternal grandparents. And I watched them go through days of anguish as they watched little Tuesday fight, rally, and then eventually succumb. For some reason, it affected me enough to write a song about it. Because I could see how time was dramatically altered, at least in their perception, by the harsh struggles that little girl went through. And maybe if you’ve ever had to endure watching a child or grandchild go through it, you’ll understand. If so…feel free to replace Tuesday’s name with your loved one’s name. And remember the day. And then remember how you’ll see them again one day. Remember Tuesday Years are short, and days are long… And we forget the time when lives go wrong, But we will remember…we’ll remember Tuesday. Precious plans and hopes and dreams Fade away like evening’s last sunbeams, But we will remember…we’ll remember Tuesday. Tuesday…a life gone by…so few days… Tuesday…we will rejoice your new days. Years may pass, and dreams may fade, And we’ll forget the desperate way we prayed, But we will remember…we’ll remember Tuesday. Tuesday…a life gone by…so few days… Tuesday…we will rejoice your new days. © 2009 Tony Funderburk Stay tuned, Get my Rhyme & Reason Podcast delivered (free) right to your device.
