I see people
every day
I look into their eyes

I wonder if
they have the Love
that I still feel for you

I wonder if
they have at home
a Love like we once shared

someone to please
someone to squeeze
someone to call your own

I wonder if
they've ever had
a joy such as you gave

I see people
in my cab
I drive them where they want

I wonder if
their Love is real
like our's was all along

some Loves are real
some Loves are fun
others superficial

the Love we had
was hyper Love
the kind that swallows all

I see people
every day
I stare into theis souls

I pray for them
that they may find
the happiness we had


Adagio

for: Leah Laura Meynard Robichaux

Dear Ralph, this is a very poignant write. Your voice is the voice of love that transcends this world, where the soul connection continues forever.
Wonderful that you wish other people to live such a real, overwhelming love like the one you knew and know with your Leah.

I am moved.

Love,
Margherita

I echo Margerhita...

and consider myself very fortunate to be able to call you my friend. I hope to be as generous and compassionate as you some day.

I'm in awe of the purity of your spirit m'friend.

Know I love you much.

Sometimes, Ralph,
the best you can do
is to wish that love
upon others,

and hopefully your
heaven's seeds will
see it prosper again.

This world would be a kinder gentler one
if more people experienced the love you and Leah shared. You see this with your open giving heart and clear mind.
Ralph, this is such a tender and beautiful tribute to the spirit of your Lady Leah.
Thank you for sharing her with us.
Hugs to you, my friend.

Your title was quite intriquing, dear adagio.
A love like yours and Leah's lives on for energy cannot die, it transforms. It is so apparent that the depth of your love for her will never wane. Her flame will continue to burn within you.
This was a very moving piece or heart and soul expression.

Love & Eternal Light,
EA

What a beautiful poignant tribute to your love and the lady who made it possible.

Some people grow bitter in their grief... some people wish the happiness they'd known could be experienced by others.

It doesn't surprise me at all that you're in that latter group... but I was seeing through tears as I read.

I wanted to let ya'll know that I'll call Ralph later and read this to him...he still has no computer access, and in fact, yesterday neither did I! (Thunderstorms punched out my modem.) So we wrote a duet over the phone together.

And I want to assure you all that Ralph is really as kind and tender as he seems. Nod.

Group Hug?

She was misunderstood, Ralph.

I loved her right back. I just hope I loved her back, right.
