I'll Weep No More |

I’ll Weep No More Your spirit leaves with death’s cold shade Into the night your soul will surely fade Now is the hour, the cold time of this The taking of my heart’s only bliss And I’ll weep no more, nor will I sigh There aren’t any more tears I can cry If I filled the ocean it wouldn’t suffice This love was beyond any teardrop’s price Weeping can’t bring you back to me Nor red eyes or sobbing hysterically Whatever happens this much I know That between us two true love did flow And crying no matter how long for Won’t make things as they were before Death can’t be made better by tears’ rain Oceans of tears can’t wash away pain Now though your spirit has gone from me I’ll feel the touch of your love endlessly Some might think I should wail or weep But they don’t have the memories I will keep They might think that crying is right But that won’t keep me from pain’s sight So I’ll not snivel about my sorry state I’ll simply accept this as my destined fate Crying and sobbing might be what others do But I’ll hold to the wonder that was me and you Marsha For my beloved Jack, farewell my love Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds but I can face the future with courage brave and bold Footprints In My Heart Kethry [This message has been edited by Sunshine (02-10-2003 05:55 AM).] |

I just want you to know that for one, this was beautiful. And I just applaud your holding to memories and realising that holding the bad doesn't help... but know that tears do soothe. And also, thank you for this... a friend died last night... after a long fight. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

a heart that fills as if it is leaden with cement a soul that suffocates from daring not to breath but when your spirit waivers, in grief, in thought, please remember that the love you gave Jack, is also within the rest of us who love and adore you, Marsha. We applaud deeply your transference of sorrow to pen, as it can say what lips cannot. Take care, give extra hugs and take them as well.... ~huuuggg~ Jeff & Dulci [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (02-09-2003 09:31 PM).] |

Beautiful words, Mushy. The time comes when the last tear must fall as life goes on. The good memories will live on and strength will return as we go about living life the best way we know how...as he would want you to do. Welcome back, sweet lady |

I cannot even respond except to say, heart hugs are on the way. This was so beautifully written, straight from the heart and soul. |

From a heart full of love, there's a wistful sigh But you'll face your tomorrows with head held high The love you've shared is more than most will know And the day will come when you'll once more show A smile from your heart, there'll be no need to fake. This sorrow that now seems more than you can take Will lessen each day, leaving only the love... Hon, you know he's with you, watching from above. You do him proud, Mushy one... HUGS to you. |

Marsha, may this time of darkness give way to the silver lining soon, until then I will hold your hand and whisper the words of encouragement so that you might again walk proud and strong. HuGS Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
