I'll catch your smile on someone's face
Your whisper in the wind's embrace
Through diamond stars and songs and dreams
I find your love in everything
The sun, the sky, the rolling sea
All conspire to comfort me
From sorrow's edge life's beauty seems
To find your love in everything
I've come to trust the hope it brings
To find your love in everything
Even as I fall apart,
Even through my shattered heart
I'll catch your smile on someone's face
.....amazing grace
Amazing Grace
Just beautiful...thank you Nax.
I lost a friend this week. Her name was Karen. She was the best friend of another long time friend, Melany. She was one of several (including myself & my spouse) that shared the title of godmother to Melany's daughter.
We'd known each other for at least 12 years, and I had more difficulty with the loss than I thought I would. She died very suddenly after suffering a massive heart attack while at work. She was only 35 years old. Karen was a peace loving woman, articulate, intelligent, well-read, well-traveled, and had a beautifully dry sense of humor. Unfortunately, she was also a workaholic, and never had less than two jobs.
I'd have loved to have been able to view BBM with her. I think she would have enjoyed it greatly if she'd ever found the time.
Anyway, I was allowed to choose the poem that we added to her obit below her picture. The the one I found seemed to be written especially for her...and in hindsight, it could have been from Ennis to Jack as well:[/color]
I cannot think you're not alive somewhere.
I think of you just as I did before.
No sudden gust of wind has closed the door
Or made your presence vanish in thin air.
I write you this because I know you're there;
That even after death there must be more.
So does faith one's inner sun restore
After bitter darkness few can bear.
My mind and heart have not yet lost a friend
Even though my senses are bereft,
For you remain the witness of my soul.
No mere accident our love can end
So long as I have will and memory left,
And you lie silent on some unknown shoal. ~ Anonymous
