"Find me in the flow of the river, As over the stones it gently shivers. In the ripples that dance and sway, My spirit will forever play.

Find me in the rustling leaves, As they whisper through the branches it weaves. In the symphony of nature's embrace, My soul will find its rightful place.

Find me in the starry expanse, Where the constellations dance and trance. In the celestial tapestry of light, My essence will forever ignite.

Find me in the depths of your heart, Where love and memories always impart. In the echoes of times we've shared, My spirit will forever be there."
