Dedicated in memory of Nancy Barber, 
wife, mother, friend and music teacher

Something's missing...
someone from our midst,
someone who was dear to us
who will be sincerely missed.
Something seems missing...
a melody has gone,
but in its place a thousand strong 
were passed to others
going on and on...
Something seems missing...
the passion Nancy shared
was something we could not resist,
its landed now on all of us
and like her tenacity it will persist.
Something seems missing...
although we know it's true,
the empty place that Nancy graced
remains in me and you.

Today I felt forever.
He came to me in the forest green
amid the waves of sun dappled leaves.
He said "I'll take care of you my girl,
and as I brought you into existence
so it will be Me who will leads you safely out.
Taking care of life and lives
is what I Am about.
So feel the forever
in the sun washed green,
I flow like the warmth
on the gentle breeze.
I Am the forever -
you've known me to be true-
for as surely as this moment is real
I'll be looking after you."
