Not Alone
I walk beside you
Yet you walk alone
Your disease tries to hide you
I will bring you home
Your heart gets ripped out
You scream and you shout
I hold your hand
I wipe your tears
I'm the soft place you can land
And I'll give you courage to face your fears
Don't you give up
Don't you dare let go
There is so much more left in you,
And so much more that you need to know
We will do it together
I promise, I will guide the way
You can rest tonight
Tomorrow is another day
Together we will face it
Together we will fight
We won't let the darkness put out your light
I walk beside you
You are not alone
Together we will find you and bring you home
To Read Between the Lines
Such as life as is death,
As fast as the moments that we take our first and last breath.
Breathe in deeply those precious times.
Take a moment to read between the lines.
Appreciate every day that the sun shines.
Kiss with passion;
Touch with tender.
Live without abandonment and with your heart, sweetly surrender.
Each moment matters.
The good times, the bad times and days when your heart shatters.
Take it all in.
Breathe it all out.
Because someday you will be without.
Thank you
A child so out of place,
Yet you still gave me a happy face.
Out of the gray I heard your voice sing;
The black hole son took me under his wing.
From then on you were my friend.
I never thought it would so soon end.
You were one who showed me how to live with the electric beauty that you would so freely give.
Your words rage of a healing power that can turn the coldest of rains into a bright sun shower.
And on my darkest night you bring the light with your euphoria morning
To honor you, I refuse to keep you in mourning.
I'll not let my heart stay broken.
You will live on in the light that you turned into words so mightily spoken.
You helped me to heal and you showed me that it was ok for me to be real.
And so now as sure your spirit flies high in the skies, I will live and I will rise.
Thank you
