Life Leaves You Wanting MoreA man lies upon a sand duneon a lonely western beachwaning light says it's way too soonfor the day to slip from reachbut when all shadows become oneand lay a sheet upon the shorehis dreams paint him the morning sunbecause life leaves you wanting morea mother loves her firstborn childand watches him learn and growshe tells his father how he smiledat the first sight of falling snowthe parents share a kiss one nightand feel the same as beforesoon one more child will see the lightbecause life leaves you wanting morea grave lies 'neath a willow limbwhere a widow feels unsureshe wonders looking down at himif he's looking down at hershe always knew each day's a giftlaid free at dawn's golden doorbut she learned from mem'ries he leftthat life leaves you wanting more(c)2004 Robert George
