Standing here, by the door The first to say hello Welcoming with open arms No reasons needed despite how long Sitting on my bench Reading, seeing life around me Above the water, miles can see The words I say, silently When you wake, you will feel me A passing deer along the road You will see me in the mirror My reflections from your soul You will hear me in the twilight Answering questions you're still asking A place I now must go But don't you fear I'll exit laughing When we speak, my eyes may wander Still loving you, as you were my own Cheering you, from the sidelines Immortal spirits hang like vines that shine The role I tried to model And endless time I liked to give To ones I've loved, when they needed The gift I planted, grew and seeded When you wake, you will feel me A passing deer along the road You will see me in the mirror My reflections from your soul You will hear me in the twilight Answering questions you're still asking A place I now must go But don't you fear I'll exit laughing Now I lay me down to sleep Giving in to what is time No fear beyond this life I've known The peace inside, I'm not alone When you wake, you will feel me A passing deer along the road You will see me in the mirror My reflections from your soul You will hear me in the twilight Answering questions you're still asking A place I now must go But don't you fear I'll exit laughing Always exit laughing
