AS TIME PASSES BETWEEN US
AND THE SUN RISES AND SETS
THE MEMORY OF YOU IS ALWAYS
IN MY SHADOW
THE KINDNESS THE GENTLENESS, THE KNOWLEDGE
THE PEACE THAT I FELT IS STILL THERE ALWAYS
IN MY SHADOW
YES, I SEE THE LINES, I HEAR THE TONE
AND MY STAR HAS ALWAYS SHONE IN THE NIGHT OF
MY SHADOW
SO I WILL MEET YOU IN THE FIELD BY THE QUITE BROOK
AND WE WILL TOUCH WITHOUT A WORD
FOR YOU ARE MY SHADOW

AS THE AUTUMN LEAVES FALL IN THE WIND
SO DOES THE CHANGES OF SEASON BEGIN
WITH EACH NEW COLOR AND EXCITEMENT HARKENS NEAR BY
HOW THEY SPEAK TO ME AND WHISPER THE SECRETS OF OLD
THEY TELL OF THE OLD WAYS THAT HAVE BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME
THEY TELL OF THE GRANDFATHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS
WHO WATCH AND LISTEN TO EACH BREATH
THEY TELL ME THAT EVEN THOUGH TIMES ARE ROUGH
THERE IS CHANGE
CHANGE IS INEFIABLE
CHANGE IS ALWAY JUST AROUND THE CORNER
CHANGE ONLY MEANS NEW CHOICES
PERHAPS A CHOICE TO BLESS
A CHOICE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
A CHOICE TO MOVE FORWARD
A CHOICE TO WALK IN THE OLD WAYS
A CHOICE TO LISTEN AND LEARN
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING
IT IS A CHOICE JUST AROUND THE CORNER
RELISH IN THE CHANGE OF SEASONS
FOR IT IS TIME TO REFLECT AND MAKE A CHOICE
