MONUMENTS By Tom Jensen
Time… is always of the essence…
Though we don’t know
if it’s always been present…
Oh, but of course it’s a gift…
Well, I guess that depends
On what you do with it
When it’s yours…
Was it something significant?
Though we know that sometimes
there is elegance
even in remedial chores…
It’s who you’re with
And not what you do
That’s led me here
Standing in front of you
And beside you –
Always behind you
Because you know
You’ve let me live
Right inside of you…
For year after year
You’ve been there
To say you care
I think of time as a monument
A shrine to the moments
that we’ve shared
Time… is always of the essence…
Though we don’t know
if it’s always been present…
Oh, but of course it’s a gift…
I love you more than
Classic Rock n’ Roll
The last time I felt like this
Was so many years ago…
It’s who you’re with
And not what you do
That’s led me here
Standing in front of you
For year after year
You’ve been there
To say you care
I think of time as a monument
A shrine to the moments
that we’ve shared
