He came to me one early Summers eve
The Dark Hair and inviting eyes
A smile to light up any room
A friendly "Hi" came from me
From there, the discussions were long
Intelligence beyond my wildest dreams
Talent, Beauty and Grace
Where did he come from?
Thru passing time, the friendship grew strong
I raced to hear his voice, read his words
Hear him breath, laugh, smile
My heart lifted
His poetry so sweet
His words so beautiful
Tales from the Sea
The joy of life's adventures
Shared with me
A dark cloud rolled in
Illness started to consume him
Still his beauty shined thru it all
My love for him grew strong
One Autumns day
They took some pride from him
Feeling betrayed by Medicine
His pain ran deep
He persevered
The love we shared grew stronger
Our Souls were one
Every thought was him
Cold December turned him from me
He tried to push me away
He knew though
I was to go nowhere
Through the year
More trials
Never once giving up
His determination and strength
Being tried and tested
His will being weathered
But his Faith grew strong
And his Soul was enriched
Even though his body grew weak
Then the news came....
Jesus carried him home
I thank you for opening my Heart My Darling
Making me feel things I had once thought were gone
Being my best friend.
Letting me Love you
the way I needed to Love.
You were the Best Friend
Always there for me
Always Loving me
And touching my soul
My heart will ache
The tears won't stop
But forever in my Heart
You will be
Standing at the Bay
Looking at the Ocean
I know my Sailor
Awaits
We will reunite
When I go home
This cold night
I see your smile
I hear your laugh
And know you are with me
Forever
