Guitars Poem by rich soos

the songs we sang
seemed intimate and true
now seem nostalgic
for a better me and you

the songs we sang
survived for our old age
and make us laugh and giggle
of the thoughts that made us rage

the songs we sang
contained truth that never dies
the way we've lived and killed
teaches love of our young lies

the songs we sang
makes me know the ways I've failed
and helps me now to understand
the meanings now unveiled


from Guitars (2001)
