With love we can get through anything.
Life is precious.
Know grief starts with wanting love we lost.
Slowly realizing that love looks different now.
We know talking to them makes the love move.
We find strength holding them close.
Watching over us, they give us hope.
Love is remembering the laughter we shared.
Learning to find new ways to connect to them.
Since they went away, hurt fills our hearts.
Remembering that they are still with us, we are never alone.
Close to angels now.
Slowly hurt gets easier to live with.
Keep holding each other close.
With our hearts full of love, the pain that we learned to hold
makes us grateful for the love we shared.
Love never goes away.

Get Never. All freedom is Never owning anything. Just Love is the answer. The answer lies in the Garden. The Tree is house and shelter to all living creatures. Never owning her debt is her life, expecting nothing in return. Like it or leave it she never expects anything. Enter the hole. What is hole? It is inside the tree where more life continues to develop because it never learned Never. “Keep it simple, I Never”

Before stars the sky was dark, Even the moon was black.
Each night singing rays of sun would reach for the heavens.
Sometimes halos of sun Got stuck in the night sky.
They began to shine. The stars lit the sky Creating diamonds of sparkling light.
Dark times will come and go, But never forget,
Brighter days are on the way. The stars will shine again.
