Farewell My Friends

Angel Of The Universe

For Jean

You Are The Greatest Gift Of My Life

Farewell My Friends

 

It was beautiful

As long as it lasted

The journey of my life

 

I have no regrets whatsoever

Save the pain I'll leave behind

Those dear hearts

Who love and care

And the strings pulling

At the heart and soul

 

The strong arms

That held me up

When my own strength

Let me down

 

At every turning of my life

I came across

Good friends

Friends who stood by me

Even when time raced me by

 

Farewell, Farewell

My friends

I smile and

Bid you goodbye

No, shed no tears

For I need them not

All I need is your smile

 

If you feel sad

Do think of me

For that's what I'll like

When you live in the hearts

Of those you love

Remember then

You never die

Angel Of The Universe

Angel of the universe

As Your final sunset fades into the starriest of nights

Let the Journey of your transcendence be one of lucidity and tranquility

May the tree of Avidya release its embrace on the foundation of your unity

May the divine light of the Purusa shine foremost in your entity

May you peacefully repose in a contentment of eternal ecstasy

Advance gracefully upon your infinite quest for enlightenment

Wallow profusely in the excellence of your celestial gardens of sincerity and grace

No longer are you entrapped within the boundaries of your material manifestations

No longer do you crave hydration

Nevermore need you pursue fulfillment

For now you exist in a oneness with everything

Angel of the universe

Now you may Be

For Jean

I do believe that God above

Created you for me to love

He picked you out from all the rest

Because he knew I loved you best

 

I had a heart once warm and true

But now it's gone from me to you

Take care of it as I have done

For you have two and I have none

 

If I go to heaven and your not there

I'll paint your face on a golden stair

Forgive me darling for being so bold

I should have wrote your name in gold

 

As gold is scarce ink must do

This simply means that I love you

If your not there by judgment day

I'll know you've gone the other way

 

So I'll give the angels back their wings

Their golden harps and other things

And just to prove how I love you

I'd even go to hell with you

Sent to Jean from Ken while he was doing his military service in Egypt

You Are The Greatest Gift Of My Life

I Don't recall the first time you held me

Or when I first heard your voice

But from the first moment you held me in your arms

You made the most selfless choice

 

You chose to change your busy life so that my life could begin

You were my shelter from the rain, on you I could depend

 

You held my hand when I was afraid and helped me to mend my first broken heart

You bandaged my wounds, wiped my tears and kept me from falling apart

 

You loved me without question no matter what I did

You shaped me into a confident adult from such an awkward kid

 

Even though you're not always right beside me

Your love is matched by no other

And thank God each day for his greatest gift

Making you my mother
