Potent Memories

from Long Time Coming by Justin Maki

/

about

I wrote this song for my grandmother for her birthday. Her hard work, commitment, and selflessness are just a few of her qualities that make her a role model in my eyes.

lyrics

Do you remember
Out on the farm
You’d scavenge the forest
To keep winter warm
Your parents would pester
Please gather the eggs
No time for amusement
Feed cattle and pigs

Work hard
Press on

Convey your wisdom built from numerous trials
Display your endless love
Teach me the substance of the ticking dials
Let’s celebrate your potent memories

Do you recall
That pleasant October
You married quite quickly
And laid out your future
And even now
Forever more faithful
You ask the almighty
To join in his scepter

Commit
Shun Sin

Convey your wisdom built from numerous trials
Display your endless love
Teach me the substance of the ticking dials
Let’s celebrate your potent memories

Shall I remind
The meals you’d prepare
Not just for your good
Generous enduring care
And often I’d find
That you’d tend to your garden
Unyielding routine
Nature’s nurturing guardian

Loving, motherly Spartan

Convey your wisdom built from numerous trials
Display your endless love
Teach me the substance of the ticking dials
Let’s celebrate your potent memories
