Lifeline I’m hanging on with a string of my heart As long as I can, as frail as it is For I will not easily ever depart From the life that is mine and the love that is his I’m swinging on twinkling stars in the night Hanging on to a beam of the moon Just catching a glimmer of light here and there Before total darkness has me consumed I’m grasping at threads on the tail of a rainbow Trying to catch just one nugget of gold A prism of colorful rainbow delights A pocket of happiness for us to unfold I’m grabbing at twinkling ripples that shine On the crest of the river that flows gently through Each glimmer is promise, each moonbeam is hope Each sunrise is one precious new day with you I’m trying to grab any light that I can From rainbows to moon, any lifeline I see But all of my loved ones, when they near Tell me the family lifeline is me Elizabeth Santos |

I’m grabbing at twinkling ripples that shine On the crest of the river that flows gently through Each glimmer is promise, each moonbeam is hope Each sunrise is one precious new day with you ....

There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |
