He sits upon the rock
And stares into the sea
Remembering a time
When he was young
In love and with new
Wife and a child and
One on the way, he smiles
It was upon this very rock
He had decided to leave
His tropical Island home
Remembering the good old days
Then he recalls back to his first time
When he came to sit upon this rock
Yes he was so young back then
He tells me how he hopes one day
His children and grandchildren
Will one day sit upon this same rock?
And contemplate life just like he did
Aah yes this rock will have meaning
For my children my grandchildren
And my greats…should they ever
Come to this place…and remember me
