Memories

Round and round they go-
Memories won't go away.
But leading to what end?
One will come someday.
A man walks down a winding road.
Follows a vision he can't ignore.
Somewhere behind him is home-
Forever in front an unopened door.

Written by Chris February 1985

This site is lovingly dedicated to Chris...
and to all the innocent victims of violence.
And to their loved ones...
Who live with the effects of
violence every day of their lives.
