"Ode to Eddie"

30 October, 2011

      Last month, I lost a very dear friend.  Though we never met in person, we shared a true friendship, through music and writing.  I sent him a Native American Prayer, which he truly enjoyed.  I intended on sending yet another one, but his untimely death preceded  my doing so.  Such a sweet man, with a kind and compassionate Spirit. ~ Eddie, this is for you, your family, and your many friends. ~ A special mention to two of his closest friends, Marianne and Ron.  I hope this prayer will bring comfort, and healing, to all who knew and loved this Special man .~ A man with such a huge heart, and generous Spirit.

 Always,

 An Irish Lady,

 I give you this one thought to keep ~

I am with you still,

I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow;

I am the sunshine on ripened grain,

I am the gentle Autumn rain.

When you awaken

in the morning's hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars

that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone ~

I am with you still,

In each new dawn.

~ Native American Prayer
