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!”.
