Why Place Flowers

Why place flowers
Why place flowers upon a grave
When they only wilted away 

Why shed a tear
When you know love ones are 
Always near 

Why live in sorrow
When one has a tomorrow 

Why think why 
Whenever one cry's
As they say goodbye.

Perhaps it's that we all
Have piece of heaven
Inside

Feelings to show
We have a soul 
Dust in the winds 
Is where we begin.

Why keep crying
When we start again.
Dust in the wind is where we end
