Claudia

Our conversations begin with a hug
And the words follow
She loves me in a gentle way
But it is powerful as the river’s flow
I never quite know what to say
But she understands
As she stands by me,
Taking my hair in her hands,
She tells me many things
I learn as I listen to her voice
Precious are those moments
I would not trade them, had I the choice
I love to watch her smile
And hear her laughter
Laughter, which warms my heart
And leaves her face glowing after
I don’t have words to thank her
So I just love her with my whole heart
And give her my best hugs
Knowing nothing could break us apart

A voice rises above
Fairer than the water, rings

I know you well
For the river has told
All there is to tell

Fair as the water’s song
Her heart heavy laden

Though she sang
Her song was sorrowed
In voice the sadness rang

No words were needed
The river knew
Her voice it heeded

Ever Shall It Be

Ever shall it be
When the sky cries rain
Friends come with gentleness
To wipe away the pain

Ever shall it be
The distressing wind sighs
Friends are laughing
To bring joy into your eyes

Ever shall it be
Lonely wolves howl to the moon
Friends gather ‘round you
To sing a merry tune

Ever shall it be
The frozen sit in cold
Friends dance with liveliness
And warm you in their hold
