Where There Are No Memories

 A bright and cool autumn morn

Is leaving me feeling forlorn

Even as the obvious beauty of the day

Promises the best for work or play

I remember working with my father

Feeling how far from this I've come

I don't know what I'm becoming

As my guidance is unseen

But each intricate skill and task

I've dreamed of and now mostly done

Leaves a feeling of satisfaction

In its familiar yet totally foreign spin

On the person others 'round here know

Who is but a shell I will outgrow

I want to put myself where

There are no memories which

Constantly want to shape

The growth I have enjoyed to date.
