Golden Chain

Backyard stands this tree of mine Hanging on to live Mom read beneath this Golden Chain Hours we would sit This giving tree was stable Never faulting in its stance But now my tree is telling me Asking to forgive Golden Chain Through my darkest days I'll be looking forward to your magic all year long Beneath your yellow drops of gold Breath held as life unfolds To memories, a time from once upon Remain Sweet Golden Chain One Spring day, the 3rd of May First blossom I saw bloom Later than remembered Felt a tiny cloud of doom Days they passed, what should be full Looked stark and incomplete I stood beneath that tree and cried Passing blame on sun and moon Golden Chain Through my darkest days I'll be looking forward to your magic all year long Beneath your yellow drops of gold Breath held as life unfolds To memories, a time from once upon Remain Sweet Golden Chain Giving is your nature It's easy to be seen But take the time you need to rest so that you may receive I question, was it ever there How could I be so wrong Was that gold imagined Its luster now long gone Dependent on its cycle Now the fear of no return I'll stay loyal and give love to it, and Hope it won't be long Golden Chain Through my darkest days I'll be looking forward to your magic All year long Beneath your yellow drops of gold Breath held as life unfolds New memories, the time has come Old points of view might come undone Reflections bouncing off the sun remain Sweet Golden Chain Remain Sweet Golden Chain
