Spent five years building a trust
For it all to be pushed aside
Like standing in a once lavish room
Now alone, holding only dust
She would say
I can see us
Building our house in early spring
Watching grandkids
Play on the back yard swing
Feeding ducks when we are old and grey
Watching the summer sun slowly fade away
How to start over
Where does it all become normal again
Tired of sleeping with tears in her eyes
And whispers as she rolls over
I can see us
Building our house in early spring
Watching grandkids
Play on the back yard swing
Feeding ducks when we are old and grey
Watching the summer sun slowly fade away
To see her now
And oh how she fights
She is becoming who she once was
A free spirit twirling in a cotton gown
Make this life your own
Take what you need
Leave the rest
And learn from what you've been shown
