THOUGHTS ON A WINTER NIGHT BY SONNY

Thoughts on a Winter Night

By Sonny

I sit here thinking of days gone by

And the people I held so dear

Many are gone and will never read this

So I write to those who are here

Your friendship has been a precious thing

A treasure worth more than gold

So before I leave this spinning ball

There are things I know must be told

To those who cared enough for me

To teach me right from wrong

I send you the thanks that you deserve

Directing me to where I belong

To those who passed by when I was down

When life didn't seem worth while

I still find a place inside my heart

That sometimes gives me a smile

To those who saw not the real me

And thought me an arrogant ass

Someday the truth will set you free

And all of these thoughts will pass

For if truth be known the words will say

Of all friends and acquaintances had

Each was a light to help me go on

I never met anyone bad

So when I am gone do not feel upset

I want your hearts filled with joy

For no matter my age remember that I

Lived and left, as a boy
