May your soul be at peace
43yrs of friendship – you will be greatly missed in my life
I had the privilege of our friendship for just a few recent years. But it was a privilege, and my prayers and thoughts are with you. Be at peace.
For Dianne….
Tonight down by the lake shore
All is quiet.. all is still…
One lonely gull slips through the sky
Without a call or trill….
They say the waves keep sorrows
Too deep to understand…
The waves keep close a memory now…
The memory of Dianne…..
The wind might stir the water’s edge
Cat paws dancing on the shore…
By the seawall speak the little breaks
Where her voice is heard no more…
Ten thousand golden sunsets…
Ten thousand sunrise morns…
Where once upon a time..
She watched with Bill in calm and storm
If ever she would call you friend
She’d move the world for you…
Big Brothers and Big sisters
Of that… indeed… they knew!
And all the Christmas lights
On many a Christmas tree
Were testament to her love
They’d shine for all to see…
In a place where sand meets water
Where the howling winds might climb
You might hear Dianne’s echo
When she sometimes spoke her mind….
Never with a tone of hate..
More of firm resolve….
And the will to get things done until
A problem might be solved…
And finally there was laughter
Like the rolling waves as well…
Splashing in the sunlight
With all the world to tell
Of how love grows and grows
And through years does not abate
Steadfast through the many days
‘Til she might join her mate…
Today we light a candle …
And give the flame it’s breath
The mysterious glow calls now to peace
Sending light to banish death
In love we turn to look behind
Of that there is no doubt
We see the smile that still might shine
When Dianne’s candle has gone out…..
…That special smile that still might shine
Our Dianne’s candle has gone out…..
