I Am With You...


(http://www.msnusers.com/ArtisticStylingsofTwistedSerenity/Documents/Midi%20Music/Youve%5Fgotafriend%2Emid)




I'd like to leave you with a gift,
I wish you find it waiting here.
I want to mend your heart bereft.
Cease your trembling, calm your fear.



You should know, you call on me.
Always always, I am yours...
I'll be your breeze,
eternal sea,
I'll hold each key, for all locked doors...
for every heartbeat evermore,
my heart beats thrice,
I'll love you more...
and everytime you wonder when,
I'll keep you close,
I'll be your friend...
and every time you back away,
I'll let you go,
and wish you stay...
every tear that you might cry,
I'll kiss away
till eyes run dry...
and if God's mercy
you might need,
then God will find me
on my knees...



You are the blue
that colors sky,
wistful in release
of sigh,
you are the green
that paints the leaves,
you are the you
that sings in me...
you are golden
in the sun,
and silver moon
as day is done...
twinkling starshine
down from sky
answer to
the question, why...



And know you,
when this day is through,
you're not alone---
I am with you.




*    *    *




peace

Karen,
In my humble opinion, this is the coolest thing I've ever read from you! This is so awesome. Can I pretend you wrote it for me? Huh, can I? Wow! Lyra will just go crazy for this. Oh that's right, she's already crazy! (not really) Lyra, can you tell how loved you are? Way cool...can I ditto this? Thanks.

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

Lyra needs you.. and all of us.. right now - Knowing that you're with her means a great deal to her... Consider this a part of her well-wishes from our family??... It's simply beautiful, Karen...

Thanks all, although at the time I wrote this I don't believe it was written specifically with any one person in mind.

I reposted this one several times--for different friends, for different reasons.

It just seems to sum up how I feel for my friends when they are in need.

and Nan? Yes...please include this. Lyra is in my thoughts daily and I'd like her to know that.

and funny, but if any of you managed the link--the music, "you've got a friend" written by Carole King is one of my favorites. Although I saw her in an interview once, and she stated that she hated to see her name as given credit for authorship, because, she believed that the song was not written by her, but through her. I kinda understand that.



thanks all, with hug, prayers, and love for Lyra.
