Old and Wise

by Congressman Nap Bayasen on November 11, 2011

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

They're our brothers, our sisters, our mothers, our fathers, our aunts, our uncles, our cousins, our close friends... we called on them to defend our freedoms, protect our nation and assist other nations who needed help and they were there for us. Whatever our political persuasions, however great our desire for peace - they laid it on the line in sacrifice for that peace - be there for them with your prayers and with your votes...

To all my brothers and sisters in the military actively serving or not - especially to JR, booyah!
Please remember, the task ahead of you is never as big as the Power behind you. Our prayers are with you and for you. Come home to us, please. With love.
