Wind beneath my Wing


 

Remembrances that always stay
Memories will make their way
Seeking joy within these times
Brings the heart to love that binds

Family gathered everywhere
Doing chores so unaware
What one day will come again
Pleasant thoughts around the bend

Horses galloping through the time
Fields are filled with hay they find
Sound of iron fire's glow
Bending horseshoe as they go

Friends with nothing much to do
Stopping by with news for you
Slow this time within the past
Smile with pleasant memories last

Fields of children on the run
Having fun when chores are done
Wholesome place will always be
Land that flows with harmony

Hear the sounds within this life
Eases burdens and the strife
Sun goes down as bell will chime
Dinner served and right on time.
