Steemit Open Mic Week 89 - Resolve - Original music by @darrenclaxton

Welcome to my OpenMic entry this week! I was going to have a rest from the gathering this week, but really wanted to share this song with you all. I hope you like it.



Resolve is a song about my childhood. Myself and little sister were raised my dad, something unheard of back in 1980, when our mother walked out on us all. There is still no reason why she did that, but I've not missed having her around because my dad is the GREATEST man I know, and my kids have an amazing mother so that is all I need to hold on to. The people in the photo are me with my son and daughter - my sister also had a son and daughter - beautiful.

Lyrics


As a young boy I had my share
of pain and loss but always fair
times I tried to wonder why
was me the others did I try

The garden path I used to walk
back from school, without, without a thought
times were good but they had their faults
but my daddy he did try to resolve
but my daddy he did try to resolve

Travelling back of thoughts when young
the journey's new the lesson's begun
keeping them safely locked away
they stay with us tomorrow, today
and help and help and help

Years roll by and memories fade
but the important ones have always stayed
bad times made us who we are
however near or far
but the times were good and had their faults

Travelling back of thoughts when young
our journey's new the lesson's begun
keeping them safely locked away
they stay with us tomorrow, today.


Thanks for listening, commenting, voting and supporting me and my music!
