Maryanna of the Wildflowers
We lived, you and I
In the Valley of Wildflowers
Sheltered by the Mountains
Sung to by the Sea
We laughed, you and I
As Spring brought the Robins
As we shared our deep secrets
Known only to the Wind
We danced, you and I
Among the Wildflowers of Summer
Spirits soaring with the Eagles
Dancing with the Wind
We loved, you and I
As the Aspens turned golden
The swallows soared Southward
Following the Sun
We wept, you and I
In the deep Snows of Winter
As your Spirit retreated
Into the Sheltering Trees
With Spring, come the Wildflowers
Sweet memories from the Mountains
Memories of your loving
Warm as Breezes from the Sea
