As I walk to the top of the hill
flooded with so many memories
kites, blueberries, and adventure
I feel her here
walking with me
Down at the beach
on the big double swing
We sit side by side talking
and watching the boats go by
The seat is empty now
The leaves rustle
it must be the wind
I know she is there
walking up to the house
it must be time for tea
A song wafts across the bay
It sounds familiar
Is it the Waltz or Shawnee?
It doesn't matter
she's playing her accordian
No one to send postcards to
or get slippers from
but in the sky tonight
over her lake and her legacy
shines a star so bright
