Only a Name

Mom called out a name with affection

And it gave her heart a sweet feeling
Daddy called out a name for protection
For an image, a heart and a soul
They both knew
How precious a name is

They met each other as children 
Hung out as friends for a while
Yelling their names in delight
It made beautiful innocent smiles 
They both knew
How precious a name is 

Soon the smiles became wry 
Changes pulled them both apart
Lord knows how they tried 
The memories linger inside their hearts

Life passes by in a moment 
Inside we are always the same
Holding images deep in our hearts 
Some things are too good for change

Now the people who knew them are  gone
Mommy and daddy too
But the memory still  lingers on
And with their last breath 
They will whisper a name 

Those innocent smiles come to greet them
And the night isn’t bad after all 
It’s a  key that opens a treasure 
They hear mommy and daddy call
They still see
How precious a name is
