Stars And Clouds

Stavesacre

sunlight...

such a beautiful day to say

good-bye



we try to look our best

thinking of you

how can i pretend when inside...

none of this seems right

the timing isn't mine

there were things we needed

to make right

was so long, i never dreamed that

i would see the end, that we

wouldn't make amends

come short of reconciling, still

memories remind me

he was so calm

still and quiet

precious and powerless

but somehow strong

he carried on

did he realize that you were gone?

i don't know...

i see you in him. in voices, faces, expressions



as long as i may stay

i will pray the same

to live a life

like a child

and never to forget what i know loving is



to hear him

speaking of you

he knew exactly what

was happening

said you were born today

his favorite person in the world

he's different

a breeze of fresh air

laced with a touch of somewhere familiar

he's tomorrow, he's starting over

he's treasure and survival

walk the beach with him

talk the day away

and when the sun winds down

and the stars come out he...

could name one after you

as only a child could do

put you above, not behind him

till the end...

a bright place

past the clouds and darkness, distance
