Someday We Will Meet Again
I can't believe, I still want so much to meet
After every thing that we've talked through
Without you, missing everything about you
But, I can see your hazel eyes, and smiles
Every time I close mine, I will be dreaming
It's difficult even seeing, any life without you
Where do I belong, what should I ever say
When I'm not talking to, it's like I'm not me
I never told you I miss everything about you
How you manage to put together my heart
That wasn't just torn, but shredded all apart
Missing pieces, now beating again with you
No, I never told you that, still I just held it in
I should've never walked away without said
I'll wear these words out, I want to meet You

I Still Can't Sleep Without My Dream
You are by far the fairest of creatures that I have viewed,
Thereby far surpassing the roses beauty's mighty bloom,
And your skin the tenderest should my times decrease,
Hence this tender heir might bear to keep my memory:
But when yours made contact with my opened eyes,
Feeding a well lit flame with self-substained passions,
Making thirst and famine where some abundance lies,
Myself, my own foe, feasting upon the sweetest of you:
You're the art now shown in the world's newest angel,
Never more needing to herald the blossoms of spring,
Within my own heart, lost in past love's contentment,
Life's tenderest touches, unmask wasted life energies:
I pity the world, for they don't have the beauty I've seen,
Lasting memories partaken of you, by the sea with thee.

"Rebecca the lasting Rose"
Our lives are like so many forests
How many there are no one knows
You need to stop looking at trees
To enjoy what is in front of you
Witness the beauty that is free
Closed eyes see the fragrances
Each can enhance future in ways
Love can be, you will see one day
Relationships are like the flowers
With many lives passing through
Just how long will the heart last
No one can tell, or really knows
As the bee does spread the pollen
You did so touch everyone around
Each waiting for the right chance
To show how brilliant they bloom
Love's pollen blooming from rose
So when it bloom it touches many
Your smiles surely erase the past
Someday all, you will see at-last
Sharing, makes everyone excited
To have it wither, we'd rather not see
So as to care for the one I've chose
I know that I've found a special rose
With beautiful golden hazel eyes
The tall, slender and shapely form
And a heart and soul of my dreams
Amazing tender hugs and touches
Each can enhance the future ways
Our Love can be, you'll see one day
I witnessed all the beauty that's free
Imagines in a relationship with thee

Even though I only met Rebecca once, from the first and only I could feel that she was the one to light up the room. And especially with the way her daughter, my good friend Lyndsay, talked about her, I just knew that she was an amazing person. I got to know Rebecca through Lyndsay. And the way she talked with such pride. I knew she was so proud to be Rebecca's daughter. Rebecca got to live the last couple years of her life expressing who she truly was. Her spirit will live on through the memories that her family and friends hold dear. I got to meet her once and to this day I feel so honored to have met such an amazing person. Rest in Peace Rebecca.
