The lady on the bed was still

Her breathing very faint

Her long white hair, an anxious shroud

A tear rolled down her face

Her days were nearly over

And hope had cruelly gone

She wished someone would visit

Not leave her all alone

Then through the open window

She felt a gentle breeze

It swirled and curled around her

And caressed her faded cheeks

It stayed a while, just comforting

As her heart began to slow

Then the breeze grew ever stronger

She knew it was time to go

The breeze embraced her body

Blowing, tumbling through her mind

And there it found the memories

Of all the years gone by

And then she did remember

All the years of love and joy

A baby crying, first day at school

A birthday cake, new toy

A bloodied knee, a tear stained face

Then cuddles on a lap

Sunday dinners, apple pie

The purring of a cat

A wedding day, so full of hope

The sun, the sea, the sky

Family times, such precious days

How quickly time went by

United soul and memories

Binded ribbon tight with love

Were gently carried by the breeze

And drifted far above

Through the open window

Over earth and fire and sea

Soaring on the Memory Breeze

Peaceful, happy, free!

The lady on the bed was still

Her breathing not a trace

Her long white hair, a tranquil shroud

A smile now on her face.
