Burying the Ashes
Burying the ashes
Get out of this land
The only one who mattered
Is dust in your hand
Burying the ashes
He would understand
He was the only one
He was the last strand
Burying the ashes
Past is left behind
It is time to leave
Ashes in the sand
Burying the ashes
Life’s often unplanned
Time will carry on
I know you will withstand
Get out of this land
The only one who mattered
Is dust in your hand
Burying the ashes
He would understand
He was the only one
He was the last strand
Burying the ashes
Past is left behind
It is time to leave
Ashes in the sand
Burying the ashes
Life’s often unplanned
Time will carry on
I know you will withstand

Author's Note
This was inspired by something my mom said, “I don’t think I’ll ever go back, except to bury his ashes.”
