I wrote this about a friend of mine, who's boyfriend has been diagnosed with cancer. If you want to know more, read my post in announcements. Thank you. We’ve had our share of problems Nonetheless, I love you still I can’t be believe I felt the things That you made me feel But perfection doesn’t exist And I’ve been stricken down It’s like I’m being punished For the love I’ve found My body is so much weaker But my love is just as strong My heart breaks because I know We won’t be together for long I pray for some kind of miracle But now I’m starting to see The greatest kind of miracle Has happed to you and me And when you feel alone and scared I’ll come and hold you tight Like I always have before I’ll protect you from the night When I have to let you go With a final gentle sigh Don’t despair, because you know That love can never die < !signature--> "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea [This message has been edited by LoveBug (edited 07-30-2000).] |

I pray for some kind of miracle But now I’m starting to see The greatest kind of miracle Has happed to you and me And when you feel alone and scared I’ll come and hold you tight Like I always have before I’ll protect you from the night This is so beautiful and you have given a miracle of your own to them and I am sure it will not be missed in their hearts. Wonderful......just wonderful you are. |

Erica, this is so moving...I am near tears. This is such a tragic situation and I feel deeply for your friend and her boyfriend. Gorgeous and sorrowful piece, a lovely tribute indeed. *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

Thank you all for your replies. They mean a lot, and I'm so glad that you all care so much. I'm still thinking about giving it to them, but it might make them sad, when we are all working so hard to make them optimistic. Again, thanks.

I've read your post in announcements and my heart goes out to the family and friends and this young man. I'm sure your support means the world to them. **Angel wing Hugs** for one with such a pure and gentle heart~ |
