When Forever Calls

And when forever calls my name
               To leave the garden of my life
For one last stroll along the path
      For one last look at what I’ve grown

I’ll smile with happiness and joy
                   For every flower that I see
Each one a symbol of the love
           Of every person that I’ve known

Perhaps grandmother’s yellow rose
                 To start my journey’s reverie
Will be in blossom once again
                      So beautiful in every way

For friends, the daffodils I count
                So many I am blessed to see
My family, sunflowers bear
                  To celebrate this special day

Though bittersweet to say goodbye 
             As earthly flowers ebb and flow
Believing in great love ahead
                 I’ll know that it is time to go
