You left without the word goodbye A flower died, I don’t know why It seems that God had other plans And He holds flowers in His hands The world had changed so suddenly And things became so dark for me But living has a way to heal The deepest pain a heart can feel The seasons change and wild birds fly Without an explanation why And my life must continue too The way that you would want it to We are never far apart For you are always in my heart You are a star up in the sky And stars and flowers never die I must confess that love goes on Just like an old remembered song Some days you live and do not weep Some days it haunts you til you sleep But in the end it is your smile That stays with me the longest while And petals of a bright bouquet Come back to light the darkest day The seasons change and wild birds fly Without an explanation why And my life must continue too The way that you would want it to We are never far apart For you are always in my heart You are a star up in the sky And stars and flowers never die Elizabeth Santos |

I can close my eyes and see the love radiate from one world to another in this. It truly is a circle that encompasses us heart and soul. Thank you for sharing. Karen |

Well I sure know this tune all too well, that is for sure. Beautifully done Lizzie, and these lines especially ring true for those that seem to just mourn forever. Some days you live and do not weep Some days it haunts you til you sleep Happy Sunday m'dear! |
