Awww
I'll always remember you Lina,
I remember the 1st day I saw you in our dorm, in your bed
with your tummy all achy and I felt so bad
as I sat with you while you were fed.

We talked for such a long while
about boys and boys and boys.. and what else?
we laughed and giggled and whined and riddled
a few poems here and there to spark our creative fiddle.

We told eachother stories
and little by little you felt better
as you went back to your old
sunshine self
without any worries
left to tell


Your sweetness was immense.
Are you some kind of little angel
here to offer us gentleness?

Well it seems like it,
it's true,
its so easy for really anyone
to find a million things to
rave about you.

When I'd come over you always offered a kind smile.
It was fun doing yoga
and laughing all the while.
I thank you for being you
and for offering to life a sense of wonder
that can linger on for miles and miles.

I hope I see you one day soon,
May be again at Plum Village- at noon?
So we can meditate while we hear the bells,
or while we walk, or while we eat, or while we rest
or while we dwell-
inside our hearts
as we share our kindness over and over-
I remember, I'm heartfelt, yet never somber,
for all my friends whether they are physically here
or somewhere far away by plane-
I still keep them in my heart
and that is where you truly stay!

See you soon little shiny one, see you soon!

 

love ya mom!

 

You are like a bridge to my sanity.
That is one of the reasons
why I love you so dearly.
You are soothing to my senses.
You bring in me a laugh
that's complacent.
I can confront with you
what in the past I ignored-
That pain I once ignored
so to not feel the pain
that was truly deep in my core.

But you helped give me an outlet,
a sense of freedom,
a way to master it.

Because of your love, your funny ways,
and your gentleness,
I've been able to look back in my past
with a little bit more
of a sense of lovingness.
And also forgiveness,
for you reminded me of
seeing the other side
with a sense of compassion and sweetness.

I dearly appreciate all you bring near,
your compassion, your prayers,
and your humbleness while I tear.
All the tears from my wounds that seem to be mending
so that I can naturally bloom
like a flower is meant to be.

We all connect to the flowers in us eventually,
that naturally bloom to the light eternally.

 

Too cute for words!!!
