 Sometimes A River Touch me friend of night beneath this midnight sun Lend me the words I have but can't seem to express Share your light of diamonds hanging brilliantly overhead Hold to the heavens the thoughts I write so I may rest... I know it's one of these stars she can surely see, too So, which one do I kneel to here so she will know somehow That within these hills there's a woman reaching for what she can't have But, give me one good reason, God, her Mama must be on this ground?... A little light can go a long, long, way if it was ever mine to keep But, the night plagues me with her memory in my darkest hour Oh my God what do I do when there's so much sky between us Cause, envy haunts my heart that another holds my sacred flower... In the midst of my sensitive valley I do cry a tear or two But, Lord knows sometimes a river Forgive me if I doubt the night ever lends her my hands But, only you, God, know it's always extended for her... Why must I really die before my time When mere fragile plays my days anymore Should my tender heart be broken once again Would one know what the endless stream of waters are even for?... So, in the midst of my sensitive valley I do shed a tear or two But, Lord knows sometimes a river Touch me friend of night, I'm still waiting, beneath this midnight sun For in depths of sadness sometimes a river flows for her... Sauni @~~~>~~ The Sun Shines Not On Us, But In Us The River Flows Not Past, But Through Us [This message has been edited by Saunni (04-19-2002 04:45 AM).] |

It must be hard to express the sorrows of womanhood, and what should naturally be ours, I hope that you are spared further pain and that life will be gentler for you  |

"So, in the midst of my sensitive valley I do shed a tear or two But, Lord knows sometimes a river Touch me friend of night, I'm still waiting, beneath this midnight sun For in depths of sadness sometimes a river flows for her..."  (big hugggsssssss) Oh Saunni, I can feel such sadness flowing from your heart, I hope everything is OK and my best wishes and thoughts go out to your friend, for I know all her dreams will come true and she will continue to cry rivers, but only those of joy and happiness!

Sauni, as your river of sadness runs swift and deep, I pray to God in heaven to guide you through your rapids of sadness. Please hang on for dear life, for she needs you as much as you need her. Enjoy your moments together and always know that soon, she'll be back for a few more moments. And soon you can light her birthday candle, and she can make a wish. Soon, Sauni, just hang on with every ounce of energy you can muster. And know that my prayers are always with you. Just hang on, Sauni; just hang on for her sake.

Saunni, Seldom do we know the source of our rivers. But a river of heartache is sad to see. May you find peace...  |
