春のそよ風が
どこからか吹き
通い慣れた道
彩りを着替える

喜びも悲しみも
過ぎ去った季節
新しい道
歩き始める

桜の花は
別れの栞
ひらひらと手を振った
友の顔が浮かぶ
桜の花は
涙の栞
大切なこの瞬間(とき)を
いつまでも忘れぬように…

空を見上げれば
その大きさに
果てしなく続く
道の長さを知った

晴れの日も雨の日も
明日は来るから
微笑みながら
一歩 踏み出す

桜の花は
未来の栞
いつか見たその夢を

思い出せるように…
桜の花は
希望の栞
あきらめてしまうより
このページ 開いてみよう

桜の花は
心の栞
輝いた青春の
木漏れ日が眩しい
桜の花は
あの日の栞
人はみな 満開に
咲いた夢 忘れはしない
