You walked with me through fields of green
And fished with me in many streams.
With you my life was so serene.
I still recall those times in dreams.
You never lectured me, you taught
Me life is never what it seems.
You showed respect for what I thought.
Your wisdom I recall in dreams.
You gave me room and strength to grow,
But never took it to extremes,
And now that you have gone I know
Your love I’ll still recall in dreams.
