Ashes

I scattered your ashes to catch the breeze To fly in the air with the birds and bees Then fall to the ground for your final rest To give life to the flowers you loved best. Your soul is now free to roam o’re the earth On your way to heaven, place of your birth God gave you to me for a little while To enrich my life with your gentle smile. For you were such a special friend to me You taught me how to accept what must be You held me close, told me all would be right And lay by my side in the darkest night. So, now when I walk in a meadow fair And smell a sweet scent in the morning air I remember the times I shared with you When we were together, and life was new. Ashes are like natures fingerprints All that remain of a body well spent But memories of love shared will carry on In my heart until my last breath is drawn.
