I am the radiant smile from a child you made laugh today I am the tears from the old woman you read a letter to on your way I am the song of the birds who greet your from their trees I am the softness of the air on a hot summer night breeze I am the scent of the flowers you placed tenderly at the alter I am the hand that you held gently when you saw another falter I am the painting in the studio of the artist you don’t know I am the seeds you plant in the ground in hopes that they will grow I am through living this life in the form you knew me before So when you spend time at my resting place cry for me no more I am not lying in the ground I have finally learned to fly I just began to live again the day I had to die. ------------------ Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

This is so beautiful, and so sad ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Just when I think I hve been forgotten...thanks for the comments and the hope that even though my words have been sparse of late, they still connect to someone, somewhere. ------------------ Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
