"I think you have somebody waiting
Outside in the rain to take you away
You got places to go, you got people to see
Still I'm gonna miss you
But anyway
I wish you good spaces in
The far away places you go
If it rains or it snows may
You be safe and warm and never grow old
And if you need someone who loves you, why
You know I will always be there
I'll do it although I'm not supposed to care"
In loving memory of
Katherine L. Hansley

"I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
I have you in my heart.

""There's a time for everyone if they only learn.
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors.
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours."

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."
