In the shadows of life.

a few leaves must fall

but the spring is near

and life will grow again.

 

The path is long and hard

and courage is earned

the sunlight is in our eyes

and the tears freely fall.

You walked down the path

held my hand, taught me all

to let me go by myself

with my new courage.

and yet today I weep for you

but tomorrow i will be proud

knowing you are at the end of the path

and the rest of the journey is my own.
