11Jun08 - A Life of Love

I often wonder who reads my rambling commentary and how it is received. It is a strange feeling knowing that Lucy's life and my own personal experience of it is available for the whole world to read about. At times it is an uncomfortable feeling which makes me question what I am doing but then every so often I get feedback which reassures me that Lucy's story should continue to be told.

I received this poem from a reader in America.

A Life Of Love
Written for Lucy May & Family

There is no handicap in anything that loves
they say what we do below, effects the stars above
sometimes life’s a test, sometimes it’s gentle as a dove
but there is no handicap within our acts of love

For what we see within is the way things truly are
we see the light above, but it’s the fire of the stars
when we hold another’s hand it’s the touching of the heart
there is no handicap when love holds all the parts

Yes we can learn to love from those who need us here
because maybe we need them to keep our life’s perspective clear
and only by giving of ourselves do we understand the lights above
handicap is an illusion within the perfect heart that loves

We can’t know the reason for all of this life’s pain
or why we are the ones to hold the burden of hardships reign
but we must remember, on earth, as up above
there is no handicap when your life’s a life a love
within our every action we create worlds dreamed of
because there is no handicap in a life that’s full of love

Remember, my friends, we see people by the way WE ARE not the way THEY ARE
