We were both training, to be a volunteer

Your laughter, was always good to hear

You like Angels, and that was great to know

As the time went by, our friendship sure did grow

You kept having health problems, I was worried about that

I always looked forward, to the times when we would chat

As everyone got to know you, they came to like you too

Time sure passed quickly, the years, they really flew

You moved in to a home, with a volunteer named Joe

It didn't work out, but you stayed as friends though

The spirits are watching over you, as you journey time and space

As you struggle daily for comfort, among the human race

Keep on doing your best, friends you will easily find

They're always around, and they will always treat you kind

Take pleasure in each moment, when there isn't pain

Search within your soul, when you feel the drain

I know what you are going through, I honor you with this poem

Since you are now living, in the same place we call home

The Angels you believe in, are not far from your side

You can call on them and spirits, they will be your guide

Leonora, I know what you are going through. You have made many

friends, and they, and I, are always around if you need someone to chat

with. That's one good thing about living at the Harbor Tower, you can

always find friends around here. I wanted to surprise you with this

poem for you, because you've been such a great friend.

Thank you for your friendship.

Greed

It takes six dice, to play a game of Greed

You shake them, roll them, see where it will lead

You get fifty, if you roll a five

A one is one hundred, and you must strive

Three fives is five hundred, keep on going

Three dice to go, just keep on throwing

You didn't get anything, you lost it all

You just never know, where the dice will fall

Three ones are one thousand, three dice left to throw

You might get lucky, your points could grow

If you get four of a number, you double the three

Knowing when to stop throwing, is part of the key

If you roll six ones, you get an eight thousand score

You could roll them again, either lose it or get more

It's all about shaking, and taking a chance

Where the dice will stop, at the end of a dance

You can have three pairs, for an eight hundred score

Play on the table, it's no fun playing on the floor

You get twelve hundred, if you have a straight

Having a high score, makes you feel pretty great

You need ten thousand or more, if you're going out

Winning the game, isn't always what this game is about

It's about the enjoyment of, getting together with friends

Makes the day even more special, when the night ends

I love playing Greed with all my friends here at the

Harbor Tower. It's fun to get together and play and

chat awhile, and just have a great time together.

From The Afterlife, With Love

 

From The Afterlife, With Love

Even though, my greatest love has passed

The love we share, will always last

In life, we had a connection we could feel

A love, so deep, so strong, so real

Our connection to each other, was so very strong

When we joined in love, it became a beautiful song

From the Afterlife, she still comes around

With us joined together, is where our love is found

In life, our connection was through the soul

From the Afterlife, she continues to make me whole

She shares her love with me, in so many ways

Just like before, she leaves me in a dreamy daze

I've heard her whistling, a very happy tune

I knew her love, was coming to me soon

I heard her call out my name

Because you see, she's my Twin Flame

Our love will be felt, Forever

She's persistent, and so very clever

To get through, and be heard

Now I'm hearing, the word

Strong connections like ours, will always last

Even when, one of us has passed

She's truly the best, I'm so happy with this

Wow! I believe she just gave me a kiss

Just like the movie “Ghost,” Vicki found a way to

communicate with me. Through feelings and voice.

To let me know that Love and Life does go on. Only

our bodies die, not our souls. In life, we feel with

heart and soul. In Spirit, we feel completely with

our soul. I've heard it's pretty amazing to feel it

completely with the soul. Just like the love, Vicki

and I share for an eternity. Thank you Vicki!
