Whispering in the wind, We all know you will find us, Your hand resting on our shoulders, Waiting for the breath to stop. The sand of time will stop flowing, No matter if we are ready, Is anyone ever truly ready, I hope I am ready. You will lead us from this earth, From this time, Away from our loved ones, Away from the known world. Behind we leave the future, The trees we planted, Somehow the world continues, Life goes on. I want to be remembered, By my loved ones, Did I live a good life, Were they proud of me. Where you lead us I do not know, Maybe it’s peaceful and quiet, Or we fade to nothing, Beyond this life. Death remains unknown.

Whispering in the wind, We all know you will find us, Your hand resting on our shoulders, Waiting for the breath to stop. The sand of time will stop flowing, No matter if we are ready, Is anyone ever truly ready, I hope I am ready. You will lead us from this earth, From this time, Away from our loved ones, Away from the known world. Behind we leave the future, The trees we planted, Somehow the world continues, Life goes on. I want to be remembered, By my loved ones, Did I live a good life, Were they proud of me. Where you lead us I do not know, Maybe it’s peaceful and quiet, Or we fade to nothing, Beyond this life. Death remains unknown.
After a year of deaths and attending funerals, it’s impossible to escape him. Death will come for us all, some sooner than later.
