Susan's poem 6/1/09

Susan is picking out songs for Rick's Memorial.

I found Susan's latest poem in my in box this morning:

My Beloved
by Susan Alvarez
copyright 2009

He reached out to brush my tears
And held my hand to calm my fears
He pulled me close into his arms
His eyes told me this time he's charmed
His smile was warming and brilliant and shined deep inside
No part of my being from him could I hide
He walked with me slowly to a meadow nearby
We laid in the tall grass, the birds heard our sighs
He opened my heart and I shone like the sun
Spirits united and God's work was done.
