If only I could find the words
to comfort you in your sorrow
I would pen them with tenderness
so that I might reach you.

If only I could absorb your pain
and ease your burden
instead I weep uncontrollably
feeling your loss as if it were my own.

Lacking in my attempt to console you
your sadness is felt across the miles
in each and every heart that you've touched
and I want so much to give you something back.

If only I could find the words....

I hope that you know
and can hear my prayers
for the flame burns eternally
lit long ago by our daughter
a special kind of love
that glows in your eyes...

Forever and always
held dear~

I very much enjoyed this Lori. And I just realized something strange. Not only is your name the same name as my girlfriend BUT both your and my initials are BS!

I'm sure Larry will love this poem. Ah know ah did.

She said burn ... together.
