Time’s Gift
Part 2 of the trilogy

The sun won’t stand still in time for me
No matter that my soul cries piteously
The wind will still blow, as it has to do
Time can’t stop because I’ve lost you
Day will follow night once more
The sea will still rush to meet the shore
All that should be will continue so
Everything in nature has its natural flow

Seasons may change but they follow on
Summer’s warm sun by autumn will be gone
Winter’s cold can’t hold back the spring
Which when it comes new life will bring
And just because you aren’t here with me
Doesn’t mean I’ve lost your spirit totally
Within my soul I’ll still cherish your heart
While it is with me love will never depart

The world will still spin around in space
Measuring the minutes of this time and place
The sky will continue to arch overhead
All this will not stop because you are dead
And my heart will continue to beat on
There will still be inside my soul’s love song
I will still hear your voice within me
Telling me to strive to live on contentedly

Time will pass and when it does this I know
I will follow you when it’s my time to go

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

"The world will still spin around in space"

for all must go on,
we must know our place,
whether we sometimes wish to, or not...

in that love,
love continues...

(sigh) And when time is over, time hasn't really ended for the spirit of love will always go on like the seasons and shine sun or moon! (kiss on cheek) This is so wonderfully said, sweet friend, God Bless You, this is a true gem, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

That's quite a torch you're carrying there, mushy....are you sure you're not the statue of Liberty?

To say this is touching is an understatement, to say it's beautiful sounds trite... to say you've left me with no words to say about sums it up. *S* Magnificent!

Mushy,
Few can walk this path with such grace. And even fewer can describe it. You do it with such love and passion. This too has touched me in a very personal way.

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