The Woods

 

You\'ll find her in the woods where they used to play.
Doesn\'t matter the season, the year, or the day.

She spends her time softly singing while gathering flowers; or quietly sitting and listening, high up in the trees for hours.

Some folks say, she\'s lost her mind.
Others are much more kind.


It\'s just make believe,
a way for her to grieve.

In my younger years, I heard the words to her song.
I\'ve climbed high up in the trees, tagging along.

And I too have heard the laughter of a child, carried on the breeze.
And I felt the child run past me, in the rustling of the leaves.

It\'s just make believe,
a way for her to grieve.
