Wondrous Smile - A Poem Song For Paul Walker Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

I kept moving on
never realizing
life was just another song,
I kept speeding up
with the rhythm of passion and joy,
I forgot
to pull up the chords
that could steady my pace,
I expected
to go on just as another day
touches another bay;
I kept smiling
never expecting to stop
the momentum that was ebbing;
and as life moved to
greater destinations of my dreams,
my eyes never feared,
never withdrew from the sun rays
of persistence and opportunity;
I kept going on
fast and furious
never looking back
as it was all in front of me
like a big movie screen;
it was my game,
it was my show
as all waited for me
to hold on there,
even life and love so awaited
that I would reverse and turn back,
but I had no time to decide.
I had to go without a kiss
without a handshake,
and leave you with immense
heart aches and tears;
and I had no moments
to ask for forgiveness
for causing you so much of pain
so cry and feel the relief
and I promise we will meet again.

- - - -Chorus- - - - - -
O’Paul, how could you be so hasty?
how can your absence be ever replaced?
how could you valiantly go away from us?
Yes, you are the wind blown away
but not forever,
you are the yesterday
that we will hold in our tomorrows,
you are the cloud
that skies keep moving in front of our eyes;
and though this may not all seem to be true
in my heart deep, I know
you were fast and furious with even love
that as you left
in our chest is the exhaust of pain
and as memories roll down
the aisle of smiles
you are never too late
to show your face.
