For our daughter, Emma Joan
20 - 21 March 2005
As
As around the sun the earth knows she is revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky---ALWAYS
Until the ocean covers every mountain high---ALWAYS
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea---ALWAYS
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind Cause I'll be loving you always
Until the day is night and night becomes the day---ALWAYS
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away---ALWAYS
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4---ALWAYS
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that you're loved by somebody?
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left---ALWAYS
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself I'll be loving you forever
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through---ALWAYS
Until the day that you are me and I am you---
A painful weekend of memories and longings, made easier by knowing we are not alone.
Your messages of love and friendship, of support, have strengthen and held us, the flowers for us and for Emma, have as always overwhelmed us, their colour bringing rays of sunshine into our darkness.
Thank you could never fully convey how very much your love means to us.
That her name is spoken, that Emma is remembered brings healing to this families hearts.
Be Blessed.
So when O was better ( and the TV switched back off ) we set about having our own I Can Cook session.
Those little hands were so capable, so clever, so skillful.
The start of a Mama-Made gift for a friend, who adores Battenburg Cake.
O's Banana Bread, ready to share with his Woodland Group friends.
A tray of feta cheese filled savouries, O loved making and eating these.
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
