MEMORY GARDEN
The roads of life are sweeter, shared
Let us steal away if we dare
On paths of wonder, winds of change
Timeless moments – life unchained
Each day a new road meant for two
We’ll make a memory garden, me and you
We’ll sleep in wild rose meadows deep
Until the night time shadows creep … away
Should you go first and I remain
I’ll love you just the same, but
One thing I’d have you do
Walk slow – I’ll catch up with you
Until then, in spring when the flowers bloom
When birds sing their happy tunes
I’ll carry on in our memory garden
Perhaps I’ll catch a glimpse of you
I’ll hear your voice, I’ll see your smile
Stop and think of you awhile
Then walk the paths we walked together
Through fields that last forever
There’s one more thing if God will allow
Leave your footsteps for me to follow
So that, one day down that eternal lane
You’ll hear me call your name.
