Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Although she will be greatly missed let us embrace those wonderful memories she left such as: her beautiful smile and willingness to help whoever she could. Love you guys and also praying for you.
