AS A BUTTERFLY FLUTTERS ACROSS THE SKY
I WONDER IS THAT YOU
I SEE MY SHADOW SEPERATE INTO TWO
I WONDER IS THAT YOU
AS A RAINBOW ARCHES ITS BACK AGAINST THE HEAVENS
I WONDER IS THAT YOU
I WATCH AS THE SUMMER SUN SETTLES TO IT'S SLUMBER
I WONDER IS THAT YOU

My Love
~~~~~~~
I miss the soft caress of your hand
The gentleness of your morning kiss
The smile that greets my sleepy eyes
Loneliness finds me easily
Especially, when I am weak and tired
And I long for what I miss....
If within my tears of missing I can stop and think.
To remember I close my eyes
I feel you right there within the center of my heart
Where you have always been and you will always be,
Oh yes,...

A Walk on the Gulf Shore
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking on the beach at nightI look skyward trying to find a star I have named for you.
The cool sand caresses my feet as I walk and the night is dark and calm. Where have you gone? Stars shine brightly and the moon casts its reflection on the black sea of night.
I stand before the roaring ocean and spread my arms wide. I turn my face to the sky, toward you. I am here missing you do you see me?
The waves crash...

For Scotty,
When we have
remembered everything
we grow afraid
of what we might forget
a face, a voice, a smile?
No need to fear forgetting
because
the heart remembers always.
Love Dee.

A Teardrop of Hope
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There will come a day when the tears of sorrow will softly flow into tears of remembrance, and my heart will begin to heal itself...and grief will be interrupted by episodes of joy...and I will hear the whisper of hope.
There will come a day when I will welcome the tears of remembrance...as a sun shower of the soul...a turning of the tide...a promise of peace. There will come a day when I will...risk loving...go on...

For Scotty…..
MY BEST FRIEND
My best friend is gone, but only from sight. He is still in my heart. I see him in places we’ve been and things that we’ve done. I feel his hand in mine when things are tough or I am just too sad to believe it all.
He was my pillar of strength. Perfect? Never. He was good and kind and loving, always. I miss you, my friend. I miss you till it hurts but I know you would want me to be strong. I will be, again, someday, but first I must...

For Scotty,
In the small time
between last year
and this year,
we try to rewrite life
and wish out way to
happy starts and middles,
Without realizing,
the parts that are pleasant
begin and end without reason
and what we truly need
to wish for,
is the ability to make the most
of even the least.

Remembering
~~~~~~~~~~
I opened my eyes and thought of you,
a smile came to my face
My heart beats again...
I reach for you
I remember you aren't here.
Forever gone from this world,
Dwelling forever in God's home.
Tears fall upon my pillow.
My heart beats again...
Then I remember that one day I will live
in heaven with you...
A sigh comes over my soul
For I remembered we are all only passing through.
My heart beats again...
I...

Lonely
~~~~
Lonely as the wind at night
howling through the trees
that is how you left me
with my memories.
Lonely in the morning
when I wake to find
thoughts of you beside me
all that's left behind.
Lonely is the hardest thing
I have ever known
sorrows of all sizes
are not half of being alone
