To Have Not To have loved so deeply and so true To have had my life blessed by you I thought that life had passed me by That no one had heard my heart sigh Then you painted my soul with delight Filled me with wonder and hopes light Finally I believed we would live free That we would be together eternally To have been held in love so tenderly To have been so touched so very deeply I believed that fate decreed we’d shine That all our days would turn out fine That we would be together always as one Now those dreams like mist are gone How now my heart breaks how I cry All I can do is sit here and ask why? To have lived wrapped in starlight To have been graced by your delight I trusted destiny that we’d always be And now I’m alone there’s only me My soul lies broken I can’t take this I didn’t even receive a farewell kiss Death claimed you and took you away Now our love will never have its day To have walked together in loves land To have been held gently by your hand I considered we would have our forever Now my hearts bond I’ll have to sever How cruel is fate you said you’d be mine Suddenly now we’ve run out of time How can I take this now you’ve gone? I don’t think I can, how can I walk on? Marsha Dedicated to Keth, I know love I know, be strong and I am here if you need me Take back the hope you gave,- I claim |

Marsha, thanks so much for this, and thanks for your support over the last few days. I don't know how I would have survived without it. I still don't know that I want to survive but I'm trying for you *HuGS* Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Marsha- What a beautifully penned piece of your heart. You are a dear. HUGS to you and Kethry, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 09-27-2001).] |

This is so beautiful. Such a wonderful, touching tribute to a love. I do not know either of you, but my thoughts are with you Kethry, and Marsha, what a good friend you must be. I'm sure Kethry takes comfort in that If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
