Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2003-09-11 10:04 AM



It's a beautiful day today
One of those that you loved so well
You would want to save it in a box
Just so you could enjoy it again
I went outside to live it
Knowing you weren't going to join me
For coffee in the garden
As you did so many times before
It was still a strange thing to do
Last night I caught myself
Gazing at the stars again
Wondering if you were there
They were abolutely gorgeous
Just like the light in your eyes
That used to get me through the hard times
I have the pictures now
Though I don't have you to hold
Well, my love, I guess it's time
Two years gone, now, time to let go
I need to let you move on to what's next
Just one last favor I ask of you
Before I get on with my life
Stop by on the odds, if you would
Just to remind me how much I still love you

Listening to every heart

Thank you, Ringo.  Today I watched a gentle man explain how he lost his wife of 35 years to the tragedy of the Twin Towers.  He felt he would never love again.  Some three short months ago, quite by fate/fortune/intervention [?] a lovely woman came into his life.  When he met her, he said it felt as if his own departed wife had put them together.  Because the woman had also lost her spouse to a tragic accident, neither of them felt like they wanted to waste time in "waiting", when they "knew" this was right.

They married a few short weeks later.  He helps her remember her loss; and she, his.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Ringo, this is so beautifully touching, dearest friend, my heart cries out to all those who lost a loved one that day but I know with all my heart from the heavens above these new angels will always guide their lovers and parents and children and relatives with their light! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, we will always remember, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ringo, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I can't express really how this poem touched me deeply. All I can say is that it did, and all the feelings that are held within it remind me of how precious our loves, our families, our lives really are. Thank you for this...~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~
