~*~ This is dedicated to you, Abrahm, and your mother. I am so sorry that she is gone, but if you hold her in your heart (as I know you do), then she is never really away from you. Here is my humble attmept at writing something for you both, I hope that it is worthy. ~*~ Starlit chains curl ‘round the sky As twilight folds to eve And the heaviness of mortal heart Falls soft into reprieve. Shades of silver slowly dance With the light of lucid moon ...perhaps the glow is from the angels, who amongst the clouds are strewn. In swells of cherished memory A tender flame is held... All too fleeting were the moments When here on Earth you dwelled. Sweet seraphim do hold you now With wings of cool breeze, And someplace deep within my heart I know you fly with ease. Somewhere past the starlit chains Which shine like Heaven’s eyes You watch amidst the air of grace As we softly say goodbye. *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |

You are such a sweetheart  This is incredibly beautiful, dear, such a peaceful and vivid image you paint. You have tears streaming down my cheeks, but they're sweet tears as you seem to have captured my feelings. Absolutely incredible, you've really touched my heart Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

Abrahm- I'm so happy to be able to have touched you, my love. I truly believe that she is some place like the one I've tried to describe. Thank you for your kind words. Maree- Thank you so much my friend, I'm glad you liked it. *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |

Krista~ This is such a softly written tribute. There is love - 'Shades of silver slowly dance With the light of lucid moon ...perhaps the glow is from the angels, who amongst the clouds are strewn.' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
