New Tree 109A

I waited at the gates as the mourners arrived

Then took the long slow walk down through the vista

Where the trees stood in spectacular view

This was the place we'd bury you

We all came from different cities the evening before

To grieve together and to talk some more

To mourn the loss of someone so dear

A friend, a lover, a mother

How could she just disappear?

We placed your ashes in the ground

And sprinkled earth and some poppies red round

We spoke in hushed tones and said our goodbyes

And kissed your face to the wind with tender cries

And in that moment all we could do

Was send our love down to you

And in that moment all we could do

Was send our love all the way down to you

Your gentle smile

Your warm embrace

Your beautiful mind

This is your resting place

Your gentle smile harmony

Your warm embrace

Your beautiful mind

This is your resting place
