In roots of Maple tree

I placed you, tightly wrapped in shirt,

In roots of maple tree

When it’s my time to lie in dirt

I hope you’ll wait for me

*

I think through heavy clouds of grief

Of things that we’ve been through..

Your soul glides down as maple leaf;

Of course I’ll wait for you

*

I listen with the opened mind

Past what the eye can see

For answer that I hope to find:

I hope you’ll wait for me

*

Your body lies in roots beneath,

Caressed by morning dew

You whisper in the summer breeze

Of course I’ll wait for you

*

Like wind that rustles in the trees

Your soul is running free

Unbound by body, filled with ease

I know you'll wait for me
