Lights Please

When you don't have all the answers but you feel you have been true

and the moments get you nearer to the world you wish was yours

don't forget that you were shaved-headed, crazy, wild, and loving

remember that people took you like hard liquor til they knew you

and most of all, the memories that stain your soul

good and bad and indifferent

have stood you here today

and lasted you long enough

to remind you not to forget

who

you

are
