Nothing less, nothing more.

A bright star fades, gone from view
High in my sky, gone to dim
Don’t know why, don’t know when.
When a bright star fades far from view
Makes me cry, makes me sad
Don’t know why, don’t know when.
Lost love on earth, gone to dim
When a bright star fades, gone from view
Don’t know why, don’t know when.
That warm love gone, gone to dim
When a bright star fades, fades from view
Don’t know why, don’t know when.

I am good.
I am the best.
Don’t worry about the rest.

There I am
In the midst of all wonders
Wondering where I fit in.
Never alone but feeling alone
In this, the land of chagrin.
My purpose, my goal
Fuzzy and out of control
Here in a land full of wonders
Full of wonders and me
Wondering where I fit in.

I have been blessed.
Blessed with people in my life
that help me get to where
I need to be.
Blessed by circumstances, and
happenings. But most of all,
animals that I love and that
put me and keep me on the path
that I need to be.
I have been blessed.

Why is life like this?
If it is up to me, then think I need to revamp my life plan.

Here I am in the midst of all that I love and adore.
Happy that all this is part of my life.
Savour, enjoy.
Make your world right.

Today is a day of sadness
Grief and despair
Loss of a life dear to me forever
No words to express or share
Only emotions, raw feelings
The sadness
Deep in the empty void there.
Remorse, gratitude
For the time given and lost
Gone forever
Forever and ever
please don’t despair.
Piecing screams of anguish
Going far away, coming back
Today I remember
Say a prayer for a life
And a way gone forever
Forever and ever
Just despair.
A different path taken
Giving thanks for the lessons
Time spent teaching ways to survive
In a world without him forever
Forever and ever for this day
He died.

Tremendous life.
