Love

Healing comes slowly Sins imagined or realized Parade violently Forcing eyes to close And those dearest to flee I have been here before Declared my shadow Through eyes that do not see Revelations disappear As history slips gently away Memories once sacred Turn to dust Love that eternal flame Never dies Never dies

Love and endurance James, oh the length of the Dark shadows.' And mind wrestling the denial Of being..Caused by events malign..our experiences will not be carbon copies, Yet we recieved some events that were Unkind..' well evil really.!

So true Joe, but remember, We Are The Champions!!!! my friend! Saw Freddie live! 1977! Minneapolis at the old hockey stadium now Mall Of America! I was in an aerial box seat 40' from stage left... Freddie was the greatest showman I ever saw! Always...best to you Joe, my friend!

Oh boy I'm sorry. Mine died in October and dad having a tough time. As for me, I believe in better days ahead - Revelation 21:3-5
