In the quiet of this day
may you know the greatness of your spirit
may your hopes fly on the wings of possibilities
the possibilities of today
the possibilities of tomorrow
the possibilities of those to come
unknown
PLEASE PUSH PLAY
LISTEN AS YOU READ
One of these mornings
Won't be very long
You will look for me
And I'll be gone

“You and I will meet again,
When we're least expecting it,
One day in some far off place,
I will recognize your face,
I won't say goodbye my friend,
For you and I will meet again”
Tom Petty
life an unexplained experience
filled with so much of the unknown
filled with so much of the unknown
one day everything around you is as it should
then in a moment
it can crumble to pieces
shards thrown
scattered
leaving you with so many questions
whys
yet never for us to truly know the reason
only to accept
what is
yet never for us to truly know the reason
only to accept
what is
today 1 year ago
i woke up at 6:11am
turned on the coffee pot
snuck downstairs to where my fatherinlaw was sleeping
paused
and headed back up
i poured my cup
walked out onto the deck
to make very sure i wake no other
picked up the phone
and called my mother
we spoke only for a few brief minutes
i told her i loved her and would call her later and let them know
i picked up my cup
walked back inside
and headed down the stairs
all was quiet
i slowly walked over to his bed where he lay
was it just in those moments
or hours before
this i will never know
his body lay before me
my hand went to his heart
tears began to fall
his spirit
his soul
finally set free
from the horror that was
now able to swim freely through his days
the darkest hours lifted
and only light shining upon him
we all able to release
the fear
our sorrows
just knowing such
so on this day
we honor and remember
a l♥ved one passed
who guides us each day
graces us with his presence
in secret little ways
free
In Time of Sorrow...
May you see light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.
irish blessing
a reflection
of all he instilled in us
to you
our l♥ve
there will come a day when we will walk along side you
may you rise each day and shine your rays upon each one
may you be the wings that carry us
and the wind that gives us our push to take another step
may you be our star that shines in the night
to help lead our way and ease the quietness of dark
faerwillow
till we meet again
~gone but never forgotten are you~
as you've read this...i am sorry that i am not around as of late...we are away in the mountains
