MY HEART,THE ESSENCE OF A SOUL

MY HEART








ESSENCE OF A SOUL
THE WEEPING WILLOW IN THE DISTANCE OF YOUR RESTING PLACE,
BRINGS BACK ALL THE FEELINGS I NEED TO FACE.
IT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT WEEPS,
FOND MEMORIES OF YOU I SHALL FOREVER KEEP.
MY SELFISH SOUL WANTS YOU HERE WITH ME,
NOT IN A GRAVE , NEAR A WEEPING TREE.
OFF IN THE FIELD YOUR DEER DO GRAZE,
AND LIFE HAS GONE ON , TO A BRAND NEW FAZE.
BUT IT IS SO HARD WITHOUT YOU HERE,
I WAS USED TO YOU ALWAYS BEING SO NEAR.
PEOPLE STILL LAUGH , AND SMILE , AND GIVE,
I MUST GO ON TOO , I HAVE A LIFE TO LIVE.
I'VE TRIED SO HARD... BUT NOT MY BEST,
FOR YOU TOUCHED MY LIFE, AND I WAS BLESSED.
I KNOW THE MAN THAT YOU WERE, WOULD NOT WANT,
OUR LIVES WITHOUT YOU TO BECOME MEANINGLESS AND GAUNT.
YOU WOULD WANT US TO FIND A WAY TO MOVE ON,
AND FIND A GOOD LIFE WITHOUT YOU , AND MOVE BEYOND.
THE GRIEF IN MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE THERE,
BUT I'LL FIND A WAY TO GET PAST IT , SOMEHOW , SOMEWHERE.
YOUR DEATH WAS TRUELY THE END,
OF LIFE AS WE KNEW IT , MY FRIEND.
I WAS LUCKIER THAN MOST I SUPPOSE,
I HAVE GREAT MEMORIES, I WILL ALWAYS HOLD CLOSE.
EVEN IN DEATH YOU TOUCH DEEPLY , MY HEART,
IT WILL ALWAYS HURT THAT WE ARE APART.
AS THE TREE IN THE DISTANCE GENTLY REACHES THE GROUND,
WE WILL MISS YOU FOREVER AND WISH YOU WERE AROUND.
YOUR IMPORTANCE IN MY LIFE WAS SO VERY STRONG,
ILL KEEP YOU FOREVER IN MY HEART WHERE YOU BELONG.
BUT AS LONG AS I AM LIVING AND BREATHING YOU SEE,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE AND WELL.... IN ME.

DREAMS
FRANK WAS A KIND MAN WITH LOVING WAYS,
HIS DEATH CHANGED FOREVER OUR LIVES AND OUR DAYS.
THE REALITY OF HIS DEATH HAS FINALLY SET IN,
I WILL NEVER SEE YOU ALIVE AGAIN.
SO IN MY DREAMS YOU WILL SHOW YOURSELF,
LIKE MEMORIES I HAVE FILED AND PUT ON A SHELF.
MY LOVE FOR YOU BRINGS YOU HERE IN THE NIGHT,
YOU ARE HERE..... BUT OUT OF SIGHT.
BUT DREAMS CAN SHOW US OUR DEEPEST FEARS,
THEY MAKE FEELINGS SURFACE, AND BRING US TO TEARS.
DREAMS ARE NOT LIKE THE LIGHTED SKY,
THE DARKEST ONES CAN SHOW US WHY.
SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD OF LIFE,
YOU MAKE US SEE , WE MUST SURVIVE.
SOME OF LIFES GIFTS YOU DON'T EXPECT TO FIND,
MINE WAS THE MAN IN YOU THAT WAS LOVING AND KIND.
THE WARMTH OF YOU MAKES US FEEL PROTECTED,
THE LOVE YOU GAVE MAKES US FEEL RESPECTED.

THE FOLLOWING SONG WAS FRANK'S FAVORITE.
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
We will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
Twas grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we'd first begun,

By John Newton, (1725-1807)
Fifth verse by John Rees (1828-1900)
