You came into my life and I welcomed you with love,
never knowing from that day on that you would own my heart.
As the years flew by so swiftly, we made memories to last.
Countless hours by my side, you helped me through
the worst. Always there to be my friend, never
judging, never doubting, just loving, no matter what.
You forgave me when I was wrong and helped me up
when I was down. Always there to offer comfort, or
just a needed lift. Your warm love and devotion never
faded in the least. All the times you made me laugh to
see the expression on your face at some new and
wondrous exploit, or an old familiar place.
Never once in all this time did I think your time would
come, always hoping, always praying you would be
with me to the end. Now your running days are over
and your eyes are growing dim, you look at me and
wonder how long until this ends. For all the years that
you have loved me, for all the tears that you have dried,
but mostly for the trust I see within your eyes. For all
these things I owe you, so much I can't repay, the best
that I can do, is let you go today.
I hold you close and kiss your brow, saying my
good byes. Nearly dying deep inside from the love that's
in your eyes. One last loving word, a final tender
touch, as you cross the bridge from this world, finally
free at last.
In my heart you'll live on, my love for you wont fade.
It helps just to know that once again we'll be together
in a better time and place.
and I'm so proud to be able to showcase "Crossing the Bridge"
on our web site. Thank you Sue, you are a truly special soul and I
know the Bridgekids are as deeply touched by this piece as I am.
