TO MY KINDRED In my dreams I hear you say "Come my kindred heart, take me away. . . " But sadly dear one, it is not my place It will be another who brings joy to your face. My soul you have touched, my heart you do know You're given me the strength to let my love show But I cannot be the one to love you in this life Although I do truly love you, and will all my life. I do know your thoughts as you know mine A love like ours would quite surely shine. Blessed by God and envied by man, But it's just not part of the plan. I will be the one who saves you, that is my call For I am sent from above after all. Kindred of spirit and kindred of heart Now that we're together, we will never part. Though we are seperated by time and by tide Our love can be felt across the ocean wide We are growing together each and every day And I'm so glad that I can tell you in this special way. My love I send to you my kindred soul The one who heals me and makes me feel whole Forever in my dreams we'll always be Sharing this moment together. . . you and me That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

What can I say? It's beautiful and sad, sad for you and for her... At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. (Plato) ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

very touching! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Man, this is so sad and so beautiful too, Sven. To know your kindred soul and have to live without, I could not imagine how hard that must be, and yet so much caring poured forth in this work. Wonderfully done. Michael |
