It's been a long way for me to travel
Hour upon hour
But I'm here
Here at last
As I walk
I go by what directions there are in my mind
A backpack is slung around my shoulders
Thinking of what I can do
Thinking of what my heart is telling me to do
Thinking of a way to send my wishes from my heart to you
Up in heaven
In heaven
I'm sure you're soaring gracefully Adrianne
Listening to a Smashing Pumpkins song
It definitely gets me in the mood for what I'm about to do
I finally arrive at your blessed tree
Ready to show some respect for you and your memory
So I set my backpack down
And pull out a pretty ribbon
I say a prayer
I cross my arms
My eyes burn intently
And my hands are nervous, but are strong
By your tree
There's a bronze plaque in memory to you Adrianne
I notice it and read it
It proclaims: Unity, Strength, Courage
At long last
I tie my ribbon around your tree Adrianne
And I look up at the sky
And I swear I can see you flying
As well as smiling down on me
