I can't look back

I turned Mom's poem about losing dad, into a song by tweaking prompts in #SunoMusic, and then into a video.


It's about my Father, David Lee Hutchings, but since mom is gone now too, it became about her as well


I think she would really like it.


*I Can't Look Back*


When I look back,

I see your face,

I feel your love and warmth.


When I look back,

I see my place,

beside you in the morn.


When I look back,

I see your smile,

I miss it every day.


I can’t look back,

my heart will break,

and yearn to join you

where you are.


I can’t look back,

my works not done.

Our loved ones need me still.


I can’t look back,

I must go on.

So wait for me my love,


I can’t look back,

so I look ahead.

We will be together again.


Lynda K Hutchings Nov 1994
