YOU WERE THERE

    you were there in the wind, I heard it whisper your name,
    you were there, in the rain, I felt your tears drop down upon my face,
    you were there in the snow, the flakes falling from your soul into mine,
    you were there, on sunny days I saw your eyes in the bright rays,
    you were there, espying me from behind our sister moon,

    I looked for you in the wind, I heard it whisper your name,
    I looked for you in the rain, I felt you cry upon my face,
    I counted the flakes of snow and knew that somewhere out there you were counting  also

I looked into my ice-cream on sunny days and saw you melt into my heart
    and in the full light of the moon,your reflection could be clearly seen
     my darling lost son I looked for you everywhere and now I have found you
     I can rest again and love you the way that I should have been allowed to
