John Loving Iii Poet I do not know?

The Song That I Will Be Singing

it's by the group "Switch"
for memorial service 9/29/10


i'm not worried bout a doggone thing
i'll take anything you bring
although i love the sunshine
i still accept the rain
and when i'm in a lonely mood 
and i just can't be with you
i try everything to occupy my mind
but there is no substitute

thinking about all that life would bring
when your not around
i just can't seem to find my way
i dont even know up from down
but sence i've had you in my life 
all things can be found
strong and true baby
comming from you
yeah yeah yeah yeah

i don't worry about what the people say
in my life today
although they try to say 
your not the one for me
i loved you anyway
their intentions might be cool
and if what they say is true
there is more to you than they can ever know
and they don't even know you

thinking about all that life would be
when your not around
i just can't seem to find my way
i dont even know up from down
but sence i've had you in my life 
all things can be found
strong and true baby
comming from you

you, i call your name girl
when ever i am lonely
i call your name
when i'm in the of love
i think of you and it eases the pain
take away the pain



(the morning i was working for some reason i played this song over and over and over 
again and again the whole morning. later that after noon i receieved my tragic news 
about april. later it came to me that this is the song that she want's me to sing. it truely

Carolyn Devonshire September 26, 2010 at 2:56 PM Genuinely moving poem, dear friend. I hope it does ease the pain when you think of the good times you and April shared. I still have the photo you sent to me last Christmas. It fell out of the cabinet on my desk the morning after I got the news about April. Now I have it in front of me as I pray for your heart to mend. Love, Carolyn

Daver Austin September 26, 2010 at 8:16 AM So touching, John. Calling the name - this will relate so wonderfully well to all. As regards the "Pumpkin eater" - it is a painting I did once. Not for boys. My only child is now 57 years old. This dates me. Love, Dave
