Evergreen - Mostly Autumn

She knows what it means to be evergreen

She’s seen more than some eyes will ever see

Clad with green, gracefully she reaches for winter sun

…the lucky one

Spring leaves learning look to the evergreen

Carried on the breeze her tales of snow storms and icicles

With proud yarn she will spin her golden memories into stories

She looks to the sky

She’s holding on to yesterday’s goodbyes

Goodbye…

She knows what it means to be evergreen

She knows how it feels to have loved and lost

She’s seen faces change all around her, then moved on

She’ll miss hearing wind through now fallen leaves

She’ll stand scraping snow-filled skies alone

Her questions, if could be asked, would be left unanswered

Look to the sky

Holding on to yesterday’s goodbyes

Embrace the past, with a forward motion

No fear of looking back

She’s holding on to yesterday’s goodbyes

Embrace the past, with a forward motion

No fear of looking back

Look to the sky

Holding on to yesterday’s goodbyes

Embrace the past, with a forward motion

No fear of looking back
