Just like rain
Is to flowers
The sun is
To the moon
The shadow is
To moss and
The cold is
To snow so
Is love to
People in the
Universe there is
Love abundance so
Try to give
It freely and
Often for no
One one can
Ever have enough
Nor will anyone
Ever run out
Give it freely
And as often
As is possible
Even while suffering
For it is
Yours to spread
About and yours
To also harvest
Love love always
Last when I
Spoke to God
He said two
Things to me
Which I didn’t
Understand yet trusted
Let him go
Let him be
Sometimes you never
Realize their meanings
Until after you’ve
Passed through the
Storms eye and
Are delivered new
God didn’t suggest
Saying good bye
He meant as
You have him
Nor did He
Mean silence but
As he is
Trust in Him
And just the
Things He says
He knows peace
Best and precisely
What it takes
To get there
Like a smudgy
Window thrown open
To let in
The spring breeze
So go I
This morn before
I was coated
By years of
Uncertainty and desperation
Grasping onto the
Last few limbs
Of a life
I thought I’d
Had falling into
The darkened abyss
I don’t know
Where to land
But land I
Shall in a
New world absent
The burdens of
The last and
Free to love
Whomever I choose
Spoke to God
Again He offered
Three simple words
Let him go
But I replied
Won’t I ache
Replying He said
Do you really
Think that love
Is simply happiness
For if you
Do my son
Next you shall
Learn what love
Really truly is
It was just
Sixty short years
Ago today that
The world was
Blessed with you
You are simply
Stars at night
Sun at day
Warming and twinkling
All of God’s
Peace and love
We all are
Fortunate to know
That we live
In your heart
Happiest of Birthdays
My sweet Mary
From me and
Those reading this
