As Long As You Fly

Appreciate 

The blessings all around us
Though it seems there far below
When the trials take your car to tow

Remember

That there’s always tomorrow
To steal, to give, to borrow
From those that break the sorrow

You’ve touched me in ways you’ll never see
Beyond the blessings of tomorrow
Beyond the bright blue sea

You have endeared my every being
Not for once ever seeing
The flaws that dare to crush the marrow
The tears that dare to deepen my sorrow

And now you’re crushed

So listen 

To the music that has inspired us
To the poem I attempt to sew
When the vultures attack and overthrow

And never forget

What you mean to me
For my love will not dry
As long as you fly

And are new

These are wise words to uplift the soul, written in a very honest and human way. Your optimism is infectious, Laura. In one of your lines do you mean to say "endeared" or "endured" ...? Wasn't sure.

"The flaws that dare to crush the marrow/ The tears that dare to deepen my sorrow..." Some powerful feelings expressed so tenderly. This is worth reading again. Wonderful - Chuck
