The Chair Where You Were Sitting

my angel you are with me in a way i never knew just sitting here thinking and spending time with you we recall the good times and lessons that we learned sneered at the bad times and hours that they burned both learning truths as God helped us to see a little something about you a little something about me we were brought together it was our destiny and just like all beautiful stories ending in tragedy but only just today have i found you in my mind and now something tells me that you were there all the time my spirit has accepted that your body has gone but everything you did in my mind lives on you made me someone much more than i am giving me presents and presence being my biggest fan i could never win anything more valued than you my gift from God i was given to you too the chair where you were sitting beside me so so well for a while it held an emptiness a little piece of hell but i have learned for the good perhaps in the nick of time that i can fold your little chair and put it in my mind and place it with my treasures things i've had since i was a boy with my most treasured memories horses and toys

Why not a tribute to the elephant. IF it did not die for the sake of ivory keys . They were slaughtered just for their tusks and I think they deserve to be recognized. yup that's my way of thinking. Phyl
