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.
