Tears fell upon your cheeks, and an indomitable spirit lived behind your eyes. You had a passion for living that tears could not hide.

And you ran with the wind, strong and confident.

When the sun came out, you stopped in the shade of a towering oak. Its steadfastness embraced you, and I saw the same strength in your heart.

And you ran with the wind, strong and confident.

A rainbow appeared as your spirit's beautiful light beamed brightly once again. You were reborn.

And you ran with the wind, strong and confident.

You stopped along the shore and gave thanks for the storms, the rainbows, the sadness, and the sun. You were grateful for life.

And you ran with the wind, looking straight ahead.

Strong and confident.
