Ways Next to You
24 August 2006

When life was extra special
and your heart was there to bare
When life was everything to live
and your heart was there to share

One droplet of reign, a fountain of love
this gathering in kindness, your hand to hold
Would there be that day, that day of unity
a time when your eyes and age will match all told

Beautiful woman, an enchanting one
was there love, was there heaven to adore
For you were the embers of a flame
the softness of a blossom, brand new

Tania, sweet Tania, again your name
this life being extra ordinary and special too
Was there three words to say
or was it just being humble
in ways next to you


“Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:”
Psalms 10: 17 KJV
