"Once So Strong"


This is our final note...
Our last song...
Change is upon us
From nothing came to be
A thing soon to be a memory
Seeds planted sprouted beautiful buds
A tender hand held the dream
Attention and love made it bloom
Beautiful to the eye was the sight
Bursting with pride the light shone
Tall and forever building beyond the boundaries
It weathered the storm
Through the thick and thin
It was tested to its limit of resources
Because as the months faded into the next
So did the vibrant colour...
Every day it got a shade more dim
Lingering pedals clung to the stem
Afraid to fall... and fail...
From the branches that once so tenderly cared
And held so strong...
A flood of tears rained
Washing away that final thought
Bitter and cold to the blowing wind of change
Ruin swept in with the darkness
We are the stewards that ushered this in
Now we watch over all before us as it takes its last breath
From every season there is a step taken
One to the next
On the pathway of life
This is our winter song
Where the deep frozen sleep brings an end to all that flourishes
Leaving a single solitary hope
For a new spring.
