'We'll Meet 'Neath the Cedars' copyright 2010 by Rick Reiley
Lots of old cemeteries around here are dotted with big old cedar trees that have seen lots of tears and memories in their time. That's the kernel of this new song. Been to a lot of cemeteries.....
'We'll Meet 'Neath the Cedars'
copyright 2010 by Rick Reiley
We'll meet 'neath the cedars
Where the fresh winds blow
Washin' our spirits
To the valley
below
Onto the river
And on out to the sea
Where they'll
meet
With the maker
Of life's mysteries
We'll meet 'neath the cedars
On top of the hill
A moment in time
We'll stand perfectly still
We'll hold each other
From soul to soul
Breathe in deep, deep, deeply
And let it all go
We'll meet 'neath the cedars
When the time has arrived
To pack up the memories
And kiss them goodbye
Bid them farewell
And wait for the day
When we'll shed earthly cares
And all fly away

Yes, packing up those memories beneath the cedars. Enjoyed this, Rick.
Cedars, their heady fragrance and endless green, always gives comfort, especially in winter when everything else appears dead. Lovely connection you made.
