When I stand by the Ocean. . .


In Memory of Margaret Ellen Wilson
April 3, 1931-June 27, 2005


When I stand by the Ocean

When you are gone

How will I remember you?
Of all the times we have known

We have thousands of days to review
But water and spirit
Will fill my mind and heart
Will take my thoughts to you
Even after we part

When I stand by the ocean

I will remember you
Cause every mother's an ocean
The source of all life it's true

And life is eternal
Transcending all of the pain
Makes everything new
So when I stand by the ocean
I will remember you

Every day
I'll see you again
I'll look at this little girl with
Dark eyes and her grandmother's chin
I'll miss you each day
But what you have given
Lives beyond your years
And begins again

When I stand by the ocean
I will remember you

Cause every mother's an ocean
The source of all life it's true
And life is eternal

Transcending all of the pain
Makes everything new
So when I stand by the ocean
I will remember you

What spirit world we go to I surely don't know
I know that the waters will run, your line will last, the rivers will flow
Life will go on like a seed that's planted, it will surely grow
Every drop you have fed to my life
Will flow to the ocean, the waters, the waters will flow


When I stand by the ocean

I will remember you
Cause every mother's an ocean
The source of all life it's true
And life is eternal

Transcending all of the pain
Makes everything new
So when I stand by the Ocean
I will remember you

She was a wonderful woman... even in craziness, she was a lovely person.

I am thinking of you today- I know you loved her very much.
