Laura's Peace

Published by jleslie@1 | Saturday, July 24, 2010 6:17 AM

This is for Laura who has gone ahead. I see her in the green valleys and the blue skies of Peahi where she lived. I can still see her smile which showed a love that was indeed more than true.

Softly come to me in green...
a shade just the spring side of summer.
Put your arms around me please
in a pale wash of baby blue,
that rolls all down my body
with a Love that's
more than true.
