we never questioned why--
we knew the reason
we were there;
you drew us into you,
as the moon tugs at the ocean...
we knew you--
better than we knew ourselves.
you were life
and we learned to love life
as never before.
you enhanced our vision
as you occupied our minds.
you kept us warm
entwined within our hearts.
you took up residence
in our souls
to forever be a part--
even now...
     even now,
as in the gentle arms of
the garden
your body is rocked
in peaceful sleep,
we can feel your life--
with no questions why;
you drew us in
to you...

Nice tribute, Gale.

(I checked out your link to Open.) I love the new pic, too. Some people do just have a magical effect on us, don't they?

Enjoyed reading this, it sounds like an experience that I can relate to loving a special child.

This is just wonderful... I can relate, having a special friend myself who evokes these feelings in me. Some people just have the ability in freeing parts of you that others do not. Very nice.
