Skipping rocks across the lake glare.
In school with friends was your place
Writing poetry, dreaming
of space.
Life has a way of changing our course,
Bringing on burdens, making remorse.
Taking of innocence that of a child,
Leaving a life never again mild.
Wanted, it's all I ever was
Wanted, the life you gave me
Wanted, I am just because
Wanted, (only) wanted your love for me.
Freedom of youth stolen on Signal Hill,
To a girl of sixteen, seems like a thrill.
Yet lost in the midst are choices and hope,
Days turn to months you learn how to cope.
Daughters and son come into your life,
Gone was your husband no longer a wife.
It's love and devotion she always does show,
The care of my mother is all that I know.
Wanted, it's all I ever
was
Wanted, the life you gave
me
Wanted, I am just because
Wanted, (only) wanted
your love for me.
Can you tell me would it have changed if the year was 73?
Do you make a choice, take a life meant to be freed?
I can tell you the answer as if she were here now,
My son I love you, even then we would make it somehow.
Because...I was wanted by a girl just sweet sixteen.
Her love and devotion what a gift to me
I was wanted do you know, do you know what I mean?
I was wanted by this girl who loved me.

This poem was inspired after watching the 2011 movie 'October Baby'
Written for his mother who died in 1958. My mom was a BIG Elvis fan. So...in her memory.
