*for my friends, Saunni and serenity*

quiet now
tender heart
let memories
hold you close

never gone
is the soul
ever present
is the spirit

watching over
smiles of love
wiping clean
tears of loss

spirit speaks
weep not my child
heart answers
I cannot help but

spirit gives
gift from life
heart sees
sunrise in amber new

From darkness, light shines.
How well penned!
Every word paints a picture of mournful anquish.
The ending sheds a light of hope. I applaud   a writing from the   Bravo! ((~.~))

Beautiful Heart *sigh*You make me cry with your tenderness in this.   You really do. I am sure they will love it, and find much peace in your gift of sweetness and words. All of your friends are lucky to have you, yanno?

Oh, Sven, what can I say? You have a heart beyond beautiful, my friend. You write of such elegance and every word stands out. (Because of your heart.) I have never known a man, much like yourself, to truly care of anothers life and situation, that can set aside everything to come and comfort those who need it. If I were able to have a magic wand, you can bet that I asked for every man to be like you. For you have a heart that holds much more than gold and certainly are among the "precious" ones! We are fortunate here at Passions, to have this chance to be here and with you. I can write a million poem, my friend, but to write of you, there are just NO WORDS to describe HEAVEN SENT. I stick by the words my dad told me. Stay true to heart and you can never go wrong. You proved him to be absolutely right. Thank you for thinking of me, and if ever you should need something, I am always here. Thanks again!

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps
