The winds blow by, blow to their distant space,
Life's winds oft blow us from our chosen path;
Our winds of time will e'er to soon displace
The joys and beauty that a lifetime hath.
The blooms of youth, to soon are blown away,
Though oft they linger in our memory;
Our winds of time must always have their say
As we move onward to our destiny.
Then we shall hear, the winds are calmer now,
Our time has come, life's final hopes are gone;
As we prepare to take our final bow,
Though we be done, the winds of time blow on.
May I, for all who follow after me
By some kind thought, or deed-remembered be.
