Free Spirit

You made flowers bloom
with that beautiful smile.
You had an incredible passion
for life and the wild.

With words that don�t sound,
with the eyes of a child,
you gave me the ears to listen
to the call of the wild.

With a passion for things
that I could not compare.
Call you just an animal,
they�d better not dare.

With the energy that you spend
from me you took the best.
I let you, at the end
lay down and rest.

My family without you
a day without the night.
We�re missing something from us.
I�ll dream of you tonight.

Made a statue in your shape
in the deep of my soul.
For all the love that you gave
it will always stand tall.

You exist not anymore,
my companion, my friend.
But all those that knew you
will cherish you �till the end.

Everyone that I see
will remind me of you
for no matter how long.
Oh, how do I miss you!
