In Memory of Irene
Eyes
so blue
I gazed into your eyes
So deep and blue.
Eyes that seemed
To hold the answer
To what I never knew.
In them I found a love
So deep and neverending,
And the wisdom of a very old soul.
The first time I held you
I fell in love with you.
And from that moment on
I was filled with love for you.
When my world is filled with darkness,
Your eyes still touch and calm me.
When I can't seem to find my way
I think of you and I remember
All the things you taught me-
And find I am no longer lost,
I'm filled with love once more.
Fly
away free
Hanging on so long
hanging on for me
when it would have
been much easier
to fly away free
Her dying was like her living
she gave all she had to give.
All the love she had she gave
and filled me to my soul.
In her last days here on earth
I looked at her, this child of mine
and all the suffering I saw in her
and I gently whispered
for her to hear
It's ok, it's ok to go.
Fly away, fly away free.
