Passed beyond

And passed within

Deep into this heart she's in

Fallen from

This living space

But I can always see her face

Loving her

Is loving me

But I cannot always see

What she saw

Within my eyes

And subtly her beauty dies

To be true

I must be me

What grandmothers always see

To honor her

Must honor me

And from this life I cannot flee

She is gone

But not for good

I taste her presence in the wood

She is lost

Around the bend

But I hear her laughter on the wind

I will live

To make her proud

And happiness shall be her shroud

I shall die

A man of peace

And her dream of me shall never cease
