Poems and Prose by Tim Fox

  • Not Gone

    Days of playing peek a boo are done
    I see you now I see the sun
    And when I think that I might come undone I look again
    ’cause you’re not gone

    When you we small we used to play
    We had a million ways to fill the day
    Now I see you and you’re oh so big I look again
    ‘Cause you’re not gone

    Chorus
    Playing in the ocean, dancing in the sea
    Baby I see you, but do you see me?
    Building sand with castles might be a way to go
    But baby I see you just so you know


    Our Christmas miracle come to life
    You were the end of our long strife
    We thought we knew you but we were wrong
    We look again
    ‘Cause you’re not gone

    And if we could pack up all these days
    Hide ’em in a drawer pack them away
    I know we would just to hear you say
    Mommy I’m still here–I am not gone

    You think you know how things will be
    I’d give it all so you might see
    The future’s never what it’s meant to be
    It’s up to you
    ‘Cause you’re not gone

    So hold on to the things you know are dear
    Hold them up close from year to year
    ‘Cause some day everything is gone
    But we’ll live on
    If only in this song
