I'll hold your hand, and sit beside you
And when you cry, I'll dry your tears
Lay down your head upon my shoulder
And we will talk about our fears

I will tell you a little story
About a Chipmunk I once have met
She was a little, darling creature
With so much humor in her head

She would sit there, giggling softly
Because she'd made it to Tampa town
And despite of pain and sorrow
She wouldn't let her head hang down

She had become our respected model
Of what strength of mind could do
And you know, my dearest Lyra
That little Chipmunk...that was you

Besides the presents, you shared your heart
And I took home the piece you gave
Because it contains that willfull power
Of strength of mind, I'll keep it safe

There's an ocean laying between us
This Dutchie lives real far from you
But in spirit I will be there dear
To hold your hand, if you want me to

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Titia,
It's perfectly done. Thanks. I'm sure she'll love it. I did.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Hugs, Marti

If we stretch our hands real big, I think we can make the connection - I think you already did. Lovely sentiment for our Lyra.

Two warm hearts met and it looks like one whole bunch of love got to brewing.  She is indeed one strong woman that is for sure!  Lovely support for Lyra in this poem Titia, and I know she can feel the positive energy that everyone in Passions sends as a group to her too.
