TO AND FROM MY LATE PARENTS said the leaves to the trees

In the summer we coveted and covered thee,

mon arbor, mon amour

And now we are gone

And miss you so much in this deathly winter

As we lie and grieve for you in our grave

Now, we can only cover and covet your shadow

To try and renew and relive our love

With a hope to keep our memories warm

Mon mieu, Mon arbor, Mon amour.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living. Marcus Tullius
