aligncenterMy mind runs gently through the trees

aligncenterThe leaves swing and play in the breeze

aligncenterColors of red, yellow, green and gold.

aligncenterTell me my life is growing old

aligncenterSoon I will fall like the leaves

aligncenterI just hope in a gentle breeze

aligncenterI see the snow covered mountains so tall

aligncenterThe glaciers great and small

aligncenterDeer, antelope and elk at play

aligncenterI wish that I could stay

aligncenterTo see my children grown

aligncenterWith children of their own

aligncenterWho knows what my fate will be

aligncenterI hope its heaven for eternity

aligncenterAnd now my mind comes back home
