In the faded sky, heavy and gray

Early in the life of a new July day

A mother before her time had given birth

And a happy baby boy embraced the earth

 

Premature yet daring

The baby grew into a child

Held gently in the arms of his mother

And shown all the love in the world by his father

 

He knew not what pain was

And knew he had nothing to fear

He walked upright with utmost pride

Flower in his hand, parents at his side

 

But then, the wind blew his flower away

Then the wind blew his father’s eyes away

Then the wind blew his father’s heart away

Then the wind blew his father’s ring away

 

His heart cried mayday

Deep inside he felt life was no more a good day

What used to be a happy family

Soon to him became an unhappy history

 

His mother’s heart was gone

And soon after she was gone

The parents he once knew were gone

Just like his flower, gone with the wind

 

Yet, his life remained, not gone with the wind

With no flower, mother, father and love

He looked up to the heavens above

And found peace in the arms of the savior

 

For years he had learnt the hard way

For days, his smile failed to cover his dismay

He had lost count of sleepless night after night

And his dream life was deemed just another unreachable height

 

He put all his strength in the way of the book

His ride to success was the train he took

He decided the wind had pushed him enough

So he pushed back the wind

 

But then the wind blew him right back

And then the wind blew him his mother

Then the wind blew open the next page

A new chapter in life, a new age

 

That boy has finally grown into a man

Specifically the last gentleman

Now he knows no pain 

Gone with the wind
