Louise Why do I love you Louise? I hear and know you ask, here is why... I love you because your smile, when it shines, lights up my eyes to your beauty because your laughter, when it bursts forth, lights up my heart to your loveliness because your sadness, always there , lights up my soul to your pain because your patience, in such abundance, lights up the world to your kindness because your beauty, soul deep, lights up the heavens to the angels Thats why! I love you, we love you, the world loves you. Why do I love you Louise I know you ask in a secret silent whisper here is why I love you because not to would render me soulless would leave me cold of heart would leave me discontented would leave me so sad You are so easy to love And I will... forever I love you Louise . Message from Louise ( LouLou) Your stream of tears seem never ending but the stream will stop, Not now - and not for a longtime yet - but one day. The tears will never dry completely but they will dry enough to help you see more clearly if you will just hold on. The shock which hit you all like thunder holds you still, But soon it goes and leaves such sadness that you think you will never recover but you will, you will. Please don’t give in the certain feeling of despair but rather look to those who care for help. When thinking back, think only of the good times let memories flood back - just for a while. Don’t linger on the past. too much, too often Let the future ( and there is one) bring a smile. When the pain gets too much - don’t stifle teardrops It’s healthy to let them fall, now and again. “Why??” you will ask when looking for a reason. “If only” will start off every thought you have. Three words which will keep you looking backwards three words which can never change the past. “Amen” - Let it be so - one day acceptance .“Until we meet again” - which one day will be Let these five words be the words you utter and happiness again you will start to see there will be times when sadness overwhelms you songs and words which force a grieving tear Thank God for Lou - because it’s she who gives them meaning Her way of saying - “It’s LouLou - I am here!”.
