Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Weep not for me, for I am at peace.
My struggle is over,for I am with the Lord. When you miss me, look to the heavens and I shall smile at you through the twinkle of the stars. The gentle rain drops, as it brushes against your cheek, shall carry my kiss. The winds shall be my arms around you. Live for me on earth as I shall live in heaven.
No, weep not for me, for I am with the Lord.
Rest in peace Jim.
