Greener
You say
Life’s in the details
In pictures and stories
It’s temporary
You say
Find ways you can love
With people around you
Pets & plants too
Now
You’ve gone away
No more you can say
I hope the
Grass is greener
Love is sweeter
Than pie
On the other side
I hope the
Warm wind blows
The smell of roses
Where you are
Beyond the stars
Greener
You say
Be kind to yourself
As well as to others
Your sisters and brothers
You say
Thank you my body
For taking me this far
Before you went away
That’s the last thing you say
I hope the
Grass is greener
Love is sweeter
Than pie
On the other side
I hope the
Warm wind blows
The smell of roses
Where you are
Beyond the stars
The sky turned blue to gold
Family made a toast
Just right then
A song came on
Sang “Hello from the other side”
I hope the
Grass is greener
Love is sweeter
Than pie
On the other side
I hope the
Warm wind blows
The smell of roses
Where you are
Beyond the stars
Greener…
