If you look real close
There's a ray of light shining just for you
And in the sky a thousands clouds
But only one the palest blue

If you look into the night sky
There's many a twinkling star
There's one twinkling just for you
And it's the brightest one by far

When the summer breeze blows your way
And brushes gently across your face
You'll know that it has finally found
It's resting place

Gentle is it's touch
Graceful it is with ease
For it is you and only you
It's spirit wishes to please

So everywhere you look
You'll find some sort of sign
That your heart and soul is healing
Throughout the passing of time




 Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

Tracie~
Hon, this is very comforting.
I trust Jillian has found that peace.
What a wonderful friend you are to ease
the loss of a friend.
Beautiful.

 And it's good that I'm not angry,
I just need to get over,
I'm not angry, anymore
Cry when you cry,
run when you run,
love when you love,
represent the ashes
that you leave behind

Tracie that was wonderful, lovely poem.

Gentle is it's touch
Graceful it is with ease
For it is you and only you
It's spirit wishes to please

So everywhere you look
You'll find some sort of sign
That your heart and soul is healing
Throughout the passing of time

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all your sweet replies and I'm on the verge of crying but I'm holdong the tears back.
I wrote this for my friend Jilly who's husband died last week of cancer I haven't given it to her yet but I will when the time is right.
Thank-you once again for all your wonderful inspiring comments I love each and every one of you
Luv Tracie~

Like I said,

You've got a beauty all your own and it's shining here. Yea, I'm reading from the back of the book again. I picked that up in grade school.
