As the gentle winds carry me away
I look down to see the trees of green
The land covered in growth
The family farm
Oh, the memories of my life on the farm
The days of young, helping Dad with the cattle
Riding horse, fixing fence
Swathing the grass for hay
Mom's home cooked meal, sifting through the air
As we were quitting for the day
My two sisters running to the house
As they were finishing up their chores
I see my young adulthood
As I finished up school
Headed out to work, to make a living
The oilfields, which I loved
A few more years to pass
I finally find the woman to share my life with
With dreams of tomorrow
As we raised two beautiful girls
As they gathered their wings to fly the roost
Cherishing our memories
Of their childhood past
They found their loves
Married and starting families
Bringing grandchildren, to our family to love
As the chapters of our book continues
Mine has come to a close
Keep writing the family story
There are many chapters to go
I'll be here, to never leave the farm
Remember me with love, laughter too
No sorrow please
My love, my arms will always be around you
To guide you, hug you through
Remember me with a smile
Lots of love
Stories to tell
Memories to share....
