How Far?

          “I don’t take your heart…
           I give you mine…
           and how far
           would your arms reach
           to hold out yours?”

there is a place
where full
is never empty
and night
is not alone
and anger
is not full
of hate
where there
is touch
light and heavy
in like
and in love
total
in full measure
how far away
is it…
take my hand
I’ll take
you there
it is just
a breath away

"Don't let the mistakes of your past be the journey of your future."

(sigh) When love isn't there it can feel so far away, but when close it is always right there looking through loves eyes! (kiss on cheek) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
