Love, Memories & Forgiveness

Upstairs Downstairs (Songs from my Memoir)

Lyrics

Lipstick shining, she’d sew with care,Dresses made with a mother’s flair,Three daughters in fabric and thread,Bonded by fashion, love brightly spread.

Father’s strength, both day and night,Two jobs to keep our future bright,His muscles flexed, hands so strong,In his love, I found where I belonged.

Mother, your choices made us fall,But memories of love stand tall,Dad’s pain was mountain high,Yet I forgive, as time goes by.

Admiration filled my eyes so young,In our home where joy was sung,Until the day the unthinkable came,A voice, a pinkie ring, a love in flame.

Both are gone, no longer here,I hold you close, memories dear,The love I have, forever strong,In my heart, where you belong.

Yet, I forgive as time goes by,As times goes by.

Love you, despite the pain,In my heart, you both remain,Forgiveness, love, and memories,Forever in my heart’s melodies.

Story

As I look back on these painful years of my parents’ divorce, I can still feel the weight of the hurt, but also the strength it took to forgive, to heal, and to hold onto love despite it all. I want to share my experience through this song.
