Tribute to Bridget December 28, 2008

My friend

Bridget

died last night in a car accident

I wrote this after my hands stop shaking:

Shine on, shine you star

That fills up our lives with glitter and warmth

A friend to everyone; generous to all

Dont burn out, dont leave us in the dark

Light is life, and you gave life

to everything you did

to everyone you met

All would dance to your tune

So different to the rest

Beckoning us to higher spheres

to things beyond the ordinary ground

You gave us a lift, something to rise above

A night without stars is a black hole

Please burn on

Dont leave us bland

Shine on, shine you star

Now sitting in the heavens

Looking down on us all

Still shining in our memories

Giving off your light and warmth

Inspiring us

You cant google love… December 10, 2008

You cant Google love

You can only go out there, water it and let it grow

With plenty of sunshine to warm its innermost cockles

You cant search for love; plan for it or hunt it down like a wild beast you want to pinup on your wall as a trophy

It is not something that a five point plan can achieve

For love is ever changing like a stream you may be able to direct but you can never halt or dam or force

Sit, wait, dream and it may come to you

Reach out to another and love will open it’s arms…

Love cant be hoarded away for a rainy day

It must be given to grow…

Lavish and generous

The more things you love, the more love you have and the more love you can give

Love is making someone else happy,

It creates a world within a world

Young Love
