We Set You Free
It was so hard for us to do
But we needed to let you go
We climbed up through the rocks
Mom,sisters, brother and me
In Joshua Tree National monument
Indian Cove,
One of your favorite places to be
We found the spot
One at a time we climbed to the top
Each taking a handful of you
The coyotes started to howl
As we each set you free
We watched you blow away into the breeze
For now, we can only see you in our dreams...
Another place, another day
We all gathered together once again
Lake Coeur d'Alene...another place you loved
We hiked up Tubb's Hill determined
We still had something we had to do
Together we said a prayer for you
Each of us holding your ashes in hand
We scattered your body into the wind
Lovingly we set you free...
For now, we can only see you in our dreams...
For you Brother...
