Where do you spend your time now that your soul is free?
Are you up above the clouds somewhere among the stars
Or are you with the ocean waves as they crash onto the rocky shore
Do you help the gentle spring breeze carry the smell of wildflowers
Maybe you help the first winter snowflakes dance around without ever landing
Perhaps you aren’t any of these places
But instead somewhere in the colors of the sunrises and sunsets that start and end the day
It hasn’t been easy without you
And I wonder if I’d make you proud
This grownup person that I’ve become
Even after all these years I can’t help missing you
Wondering what everything would be like if you were still here
But sometimes,
When the perfect song comes on the radio
That first flower of spring pokes through the frosted ground
In the stillness that follows a snowstorm
When the sun breaks through the dark storm clouds
In every shooting star and rainbow
I’d like to think you’re saying hi
A gentle reminder that you’re watching over me
From wherever you are
