Sarah

These are some words I wrote Tuesday early evening, after spending some time at Sarah's bedside, singing songs, holding her hand. She smiled. I know it took all she had to smile at me but she did. I will never ever ever for as long as I live forget those beautiful, precious moments. I am so grateful that I was included in those moments. They have changed me forever.


Sarah

Sail on silver girl
you've reached the mountaintop
and there's nothing but blue skies ahead

Fly, fly away sweet Sarah
we will miss you so
but we know where you are going
and it is beautiful

This is the mountain, and just on
the other side,
is nothing but blue skies
nothing but blue skies

shine bright firefly, shine bright
