Inheritance
Knicknacks, spoon racks, useless things
Brooches, bracelets, Aunt Edna's rings
Things I've kept for many a day
I do not need them...away...away
Possessions only weigh me down
As I take wing and fly from town
Free to fly both far and wide
Filled with love and joy I'll glide
Those I love will gather and pray
They'll wish I'd stayed another day
Some will cry, their voices shrill
Others will wonder, where's the will
Money's not my forte
I never needed toys
I leave my family memories
Of love and fun and joys
And as my ashes float away
I'll hear my loved ones voices say
Good bye, farewell, don't go away
I need you in my life each day
I'll be there in the sunshine
And in the wind and rain
I'll be there in your memories
Forever to remain
Others will wonder, where's the will
Money's not my forte
I never needed toys
I leave my family memories
Of love and fun and joys
And as my ashes float away
I'll hear my loved ones voices say
Good bye, farewell, don't go away
I need you in my life each day
I'll be there in the sunshine
And in the wind and rain
I'll be there in your memories
Forever to remain
