I want a kind person to see me struggling
Not by me showing them
But by simply observing
And care
And ask if they can help
Sometimes they can
And sometimes they can't
But that itself
Is enough for my heart

I want to hug my younger self
And I also know I will when I'm older
So I hug myself now
And say it's from the future

Today I celebrate your day
a special birthday
a memory
I recall
from when I was small

Today I celebrate
the day I remember
One that seems like yesterday
when life was so much more
for one I had adored

Laughter and so much more
Two hearts that entwined
like a tree growing tall
and strong
forever we belonged

But a day changed it all
and life left me lost
Numb

But today I celebrate your Your day
Forever in my memory
and heart you will stay

Until we meet again

Do not stand at my grave and weep..
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry..
I am not there. I did not die.

Beneath the sky
So wide and blue
Dreams take flight
Both old and new
In quiet moments
Whispers flow
Where only the
Heart and stars
Will know
Loving you,
A silent ache
A path I know
I shouldn't take
The lines are drawn
The rules are clear
Yet I still wish you were here
A heart that beats
But cannot speak
Longing for a love it
Cannot seek
So I will keep
This flame inside
A secret that the
Stars will hide...
