I stand in silence, head bowed down in sorrow.
Cold winds sigh laments unto the sky.
I kneel and touch the mound of earth so frozen,
A pain, a sob for you, I start to cry.
Upon your grave my tears are gently falling,
A prayer is answered by an echoing sigh.
Of the winds, blowing gently through the treetops,
Above this place of peace, where you lie.
I read again, your name engraved in marble,
At your side a winter flower shows through the snow,
As white as angels wings in the moonlight,
Ruffled by the evening breeze that softly blows.
Your name I whisper softly in the silence,
I can't forget, though I know that others do,
For you were the only one I cared for,
And one day soon I know, I'll be with you.
When my days on earth are surely ending,
When my eyes show not the faintest fear.
Those standing round will see that I am happy,
For I'm going to the one, that I held dear.
