Flowing gently on the waters of time
Life unfolds and follows the sign
Laid before it, in a continuous line
Birth blossoms into a concious being
Stages we pass through effortlessly seeing
Our hopes, our desires, our loves fleeing
Before us stretches our mortal road
To realize those dreams becomes our goal
Sensing and feeling and freeing our soul
Emotion filled we pursue elusive fate
Our hearts bruised by callousness and hate
Optimistically we endeavor to create
We were not meant to trod paths alone
By design we sought to share our home
Our lives entwined with another grown
Always seeking life's partner to share
Those precious moments so fleeting there
Waking one day, one knows not where
That place in time when it will all disappear
When we look back wistfully on days we dared
To risk all that love and caring endeared
The final road rises up before us
We lived, we loved, now leave, we must
For the days, the hours, the minutes become dust
Yet in our hearts and in our souls
We know we did our best to be whole
To celebrate life's design to be told
And when the line draws to a close
When life folds back in quiet repose
Together our spirits in times waters flows
Our story to be told to all who follow
