Sing Me

moon river teach me how to pray teach me how to say i love her and give my words two wings to fly abroad to heaven and her precious ears moon river send to me your tide and with these words i cry send out to sea and drift, out with my pride tears from my eyes to reach her on that distant shore moon river set my heart a sail and guied me with the stars to my love and when my time should end let ours begin a brand new love never to end moon river thank you for my song don't let it be too long while i sing but please let these two arms find the two arms that held me when i was alone moon river hear me while i pray please grant my wish today and give me my hope and heaven i longed so very long and i'll be ever greatful to you

I feel your pain..Now probably would not be a time to catch on film your humanity but you are human and I can feel you anguish from afar..This is a hard time for you I am sure..Never had the loss of someone that close or in that position..Losing parents and siblings, aunt and uncles was very hard..May the love of God wrap his arms around you and carry you through the holidays and the next year, help you heal...Sara

You had me singing along to "Moon River" throughout this touching song, John. And I know this "river" flows from deep within your heart. You will be with her again, dear friend. Much love, Carolyn

You are at your lyrical best in this poem, and I love the way you have matured, for it makes your poems like a an orchard in the fruiting season
