When I Go Away
Victoria Witt
When I go away:
Will you remember me,
The one who brought
forth many wonderful
Of life?
There within you:
The question lies unanswered;
To leave open a
book of life.
To spand the possibilities
of finding.
I'm not really away:
but live within the walls
of your mind;
which has many rooms to stay.
I will be there to give you
smiles and joy of memories
I left you, Of good thoughts.
I will never go away;
As long as you remember.....

Dale, There aren't enough words to express how you are feeling and there is probably little I can say or do to make this time any easier for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I am glad to have spent the time I did with Mary Lou. She was a pistol even then! Her witty remarks will come to mind when I think of that time. Love, Gail Beggs
