A selection of poems that remind me of Jonathan: Young Life Cut Short Author Unknown Do not judge a song by its duration Nor by the number of its notes Judge it by the richness of its contents Sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant… Do not judge a song by its duration Nor by the number of its notes Judge it by the way it touches and lifts the soul Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful… And when something has enriched your life And when it’s melody lingers on in your heart. Is it unfinished? Or is it endless? ---------------- As Long As I Can Author Unknown As long as I can I will look at the world for both of us As long as I can, I will laugh with the birds I will sing with the flowers, I will pray to the stars for both of us, As long as I can remember How many things on this earth were you joy, And I will live as well as you want me to live As long as I can -------------- Light a Candle by Paul Alexander And I will light a candle for you. To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew. Like a beacon in the night The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way. Oh, today I light a candle for you. The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change. I keep on moving on, you know it's not the same. And when I'm walking all alone Do you hear me call your name? Do your hear me sing the songs we used to sing? You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise, Always saw that something special deep within your eyes. And through the good times and the bad, We carried on with pride. I hold onto the love and life we knew. And I will light a candle for you. To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew. Like a beacon in the night The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way. Oh, today I light a candle for you. ----------- Heartbeat You were my north, my south, My east and west. You were my guiding light, And all the rest. You taught me much, showed me more, ` And gave to me your heart. So though my love you left too soon, Your heartbeat carries on. You'll always be remembered, Our souls for'er entwined. The echo of you heartbeat, Forever heard in mine. For every breath and every step, I will never take alone. For in my heart and in my soul, Your heartbeat carries on. I love you xxx
