And like a desert spring, my lover comes and spreads her wings
A friend of mine died today. I'm going to post his favorite song in hopes of a safe passage for him. And this song is also for someone else. :loveya:

Be good to each other. Life is too short.

Winter rain, now tell me why, Summers fade, and roses die.
The answer came; the wind and rain.
Golden hills, now veiled in gray, Summer leaves have blown away
Now what remains? The wind and rain.

And like a desert spring, my lover comes and spreads her wings, Knowing,
Like a song that's born to soar the sky, Flowing,
Flowing 'til the waters all are dry, Growing, the loving in her eyes.

Circle songs and sands of time, and seasons will end in tumbled rhyme,
and little change, the wind and rain.

And like a desert spring, my lover comes and spreads her wings,
Knowing, Like a song that's born to soar the sky,
Flowing, Flowing 'til the rivers all are dry, Growing, the loving in her eyes.

Winter gray and falling rain, we'll see summer come again,
Darkness falls and seasons change (gonna happen every time).
Same old friends the wind and rain, Summers fade and roses die,
You'll see summer come again, Like a song that's born to soar the sky.

9. I'm so sorry hon....
What a great loss for you. The song is beautiful and tells life's story.

"Same old friends the wind and rain, Summers fade and roses die,
You'll see summer come again, Like a song that's born to soar the sky."

A series of pain, recuperation and living happily again until the next time...it's having confidence that we'll get through the pain and see the sun again. We usually do get through it, but when we're going through it, it's hard to believe it.

One of my favorite quotes: In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus

I hope you feel better soon.

:loveya: :hug: :hug:
