My Favorite Devonshire

Between Fear and Hope By Carolyn Devonshire where my heart longs to be the distance feels so far from me I don't know what exactly it is, that I fear when there's nothing left to keep me here hard decisions keep me awake at night always feeling this pull towards a brighter light you found a way to open the door to my heart where I found you did belong from the start with each day, I can feel you slipping away tears at me, in a thousand different ways where my heart longs to be is with your spirit that keeps me free never will the light slip away with my spirit you'll always stay have no fear, as I have none concealed thoughts for what's to come from the other side, I'll connect with you for never have I touched a heart so true a sign I promise, your fear to break angel in your pocket - rainbow at daybreak as we make the most of what we have now in my afterlife we'll be closer somehow and happy my soul will always be to have found a friend who cares for me Distant Dreams Knowing you but for the shortest time, and having distance separate our desire to be more like sisters than friends. I read this with sadness and worry. Your sunny disposition so clouded. I wish for ways to bring you more feelings, a way to heal you, a way to cloak you in compassion, but I have none but this. Dear friend stay awhile longer let the end be a more distant dream.

Debbie, this is beautiful. Both her poem and your tribute. I'm going to search her blog and poems. This is the second my favourite Devonshire that I have read and I am lost...and now worried. Love sent to both of you! Hugs, Cyndi
