A Peaceful Feeling

Today I wear a necklace with Billy's picture in it And I feel no longer alone when I go about my life For he is with me now for all the world to see. I had an appointment to see about buying a mobile home And as we talked getting acquainted I mentioned reading my books This young man was very excited. And as I gave the story of my COWBOY AND ME His eyes they did shine urgeing me on For he had shared with me He and his wife were to have a baby soon He reached over and touched Billy's picture And said, he had just mentioned to his wife How often, couples married for years, Tended to resemble one another It was something I had never considered about us But when I got home and looked closer It was the truth I found. As I look in the mirrow I don't know if I should feel sorry for Billy or not For you see it gives me a plesant feeling For he is still my KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOR He is still here with me, for I have gotten signs And the words we recited 'UNTIL DEATH WE DO PART' Should have been 'FOR ALL ETERNITY' AMEN

I am discovering a vast land of spiritual richness, I had known before, God's own hand on my faith led me to this door. I am inspired more. Thanks.

Cile, difficult to lose the man you love, but it is true that he is with you and always will be in the folds of your memory to ponder and remember those wonderful times, laughter and tears and all things we hold dear. God bless you. Diana

Cile, you were so lucky to have a loving spouse, no not lucky, Blessed. Your loss is a sad thing, but those good memories no one can ever take from you. Your love is still strong and it shines like a beacon in the night, God bless you my friend, Ron

Cile you know how I feel about you in my heart - You are perhaps the most beautiful soul I have ever met - You are like a mother in my heart and my prayers are for you daily - I can't imagine living without Toni but when I try my heart bleeds for you - I love you dearly Cile

I believe true love is eternal, and I think those words 'until death do us part' should be changed. I would love it if you wrote a poem about some of those signs. I believe too Cile. Amen is right. Beautiful. Love, Shar
