On what would have been our 28th...

"Would you know my name?

If I saw you in heaven

Would it be the same?

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong

And carry on

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand?

If I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand?

If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way

Through night and day

'Cause I know I just can't stay

Here in heaven

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knees

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

Begging please

Beyond the door

There's peace, I'm sure

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in heaven

Would you know my name?

If I saw you in heaven

Would you be the same?

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong

And carry on

'Cause I know I don't belong

Here in heaven.... "

"Tears in Heaven,"

Eric Clapton

 

My darling George,

Loved you then;

Love you now;

Will love you always...'

My husband, partner, friend, lover-

Soulmate

Forever in my heart

You will always be...

"If I had a day that I could give you

I'd give to you a day just like today

If I had song that I could sing for you

     I'd sing a song to make you feel this way...."

"Sunshine almost always," John Denver, 

The Wildlife Concert

Imposter

I should be Grateful,

After all,

It could have been

Far worse.

Still there must be

An easier way to

Learn painful

Life-lessons than

In the throes of

Grief and Despair

Gasping for air,

Fighting to breathe,

Hanging-on for a

Hint of Compassion:

In expedience

I was left alone to

Drown

This most wretched self

Bare and Barren-

Exposed

For all the world to

See and Judge,

Crushing the

Broken pieces

Of a shattered

Existence

Into nothing

Almost .

Still from

Crystal Dust,

I rise. 

I am 

Standing now-

Stronger,

Wiser, even

Hopeful,

Without knowing

Anything

Anymore

For certain.

At best,

The same

I will never be.

"I'm Sorry"

Richard Walters

Original song by

John Denver

Ladybugs

"When I was a little girl,

I used to run around in the fields all day,

Trying unsuccessfully to catch ladybugs.

Finally I would get tired and lay down for a nap.

When I awoke, I’d find ladybugs walking all over me.”

"Katherine," Under the Tuscan Sun.

"Live Forever," Billy Joe Shaver

George W. Ferrie
8/3/1954-10/31/2017

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now
You're gonna wanna hold me
Just like I always told you
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Nobody here will ever find me
But I always be around
Just like the songs I leave behind me
I'm gonna live forever now

You fathers and you mothers
Be good to one another
Please try to raise your children right
Don't let the darkness take 'em
Don't make 'em feel forsaken
Just lead them safely to the light
When this old world has blown us under
And all the stars from fall this sky
Remember someone really loves you
We'll live forever you and I

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

I'm gonna live forever now
I'm gonna live forever now
I'm gonna live forever now
I'm gonna live forever now

Dream of angels and sunshine
Rivers of red wine, and orange peel blues
Dream of angels and sunshine
Rivers of red wine, and orange peel blues

"Live Forever"

"Live forever, y'all, whether you want to or not,"

Billy Joe Shaver

Celebrating you every single day,

with all my love, heart, and soul,

"Sister, My Sister," brtpoetry

how can we be related?
You face the world so different,
yet we are one and the same.
Your blood is in my veins,
but no two different people could there be.
You're older, but still so young;
 is it me or is this gap slowly disappearing?
It is now that we have felt the bond,
with all this distance between us.
This space became our band-aid -
covering the wound we falsely named love.
But things have begun to change,
and I can say "I love you" with a straight face.
Yes, I love you sister,
I can see that now.
Your stubborn ways;
your quickness to anger;
the tears that fall from embarrassment.
I'm with you - I feel them too.
I know all about you,
for I am a part of your life.

You can feel me as well, 

and though we still may not agree,

we have learned to appreciate what has been given to us.

We will always be together,

for we were made from love for each other.

Sister, my sister; 

we are one.
