Lake Superior

Do you remember

That warm fall day

We brought Grandma’s ashes

Up to Lake Superior

Down the shore we called out

Her glorious name

Oh, I remember

The blue of that sky

The water cool around our legs

The way it never ended

Couldn’t help ourselves

We had to cry

But I do

Wish I told you

You’re the bravest one of us all

So much joy we can cling to

Even if the missing don’t stop

So comes summer

And with it this rush

For breezes gentle on our cheeks

And lips so easy smiling

We’ll devote ourselves

Let this carry us

But I still wish I told you

You’re the bravest one of us all

So much joy we must cling to

Even when the missing don’t stop

We’ll find ways to keep in the Sun

Roll out of bed into an open palm

Shielded from this world’s weary spell

Hush now, you are safely held

Hush now, you are safely held
