Title: Cathy's Spirit
Writer: Betsy Rodino
You came into his life
like a breath of fresh air
breathing meaning into his
forsaken, breathless soul.
It was just for a brief moment
that you were here with him;
a moment to last forever
your mission here on earth.
You gave to him unselfishly
your heart and then your soul.
He was mesmerized by your beauty
and captured by your charm.
With the honesty of a child
he accepted what you brought him
and returned your love with a vigor
he did not know he possessed.
He had never before loved
so completely and faithfully.
He had never known such affection
could ever be shared by two.
You opened his heart and eyes
to feelings buried deep.
Your shared love was overwhelming,
arising effortlessly from within.
It was fortune that he found you
and fate that took you away.
The pain in his heart was so acute
as he had to bid you farewell.
The day was beautiful and sunny
and the grass as green as emeralds.
The cemetery looked heavenly
as it called you to your home.
The tears were overflowing
as he laid you to your rest;
you took with you a piece of him
but left him with your heart.
He couldn't bear the parting;
time seemed to have stopped.
Eventually he came to understand
the true meaning of your life.
Destiny taught him about love
and he now accepts the fact
that you were here to help him
to open up his heart.
He knows that he has been blessed
by your being here on earth.
You will live forever in his heart
your spirit will endure.
