In Remembrance of a Friend....

Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for awhile and embrace our silent dreams.

They help us become aware of the delicate winds of hope
and we discover within every human spirit there are wings yearning to fly.
They help our hearts to see that the only stairway to the stars
is woven with dream...and we find ourselves unafraid to reach high.

They celebrate the true essence of who we are…
and have faith in all that we may become.
Some people awaken us to new and deeper realizations…
for we gain insight from the passing whisper of their wisdom

Throughout our lives we are sent precious souls…
meant to share our journey however brief or lasting their stay
they remind us why we are here.
To learn… to teach… to nurture… to love.

Some people come into our lives to cast a steady light
upon our path and guide our every step their shining belief in us
helps us to believe in ourselves.
Some people come into our lives to teach us about love…
The love that rests within ourselves.

Let us reach out to others and feel the bliss of giving
for love is far richer in action that it ever is in words.
Some people come into our lives and they move our souls to sing
and make our spirits dance.

They help us to see that everything on earth
is part of the incredibility of life…
and that it is always there for us to take of its joy.
Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.
