Like seeds in the wind...

I wish I could remember the author of this poem, but I can't remember her name. Actually it is only the ending of the poem, but it is the part I like so well. Read it carefully and slowly to let the meaning sink into your soul:

"I came here with nothing,
Yet I leave with everything.
No lesson more lasting than this simple truth;
Life is not about living; it is about loving.

So when I'm gone and all that's left of me is love,
Give it away!
So that the seed that began as my love for you
Continues to blossom throughout time,
Through me to you and onto the next,
like seeds in the wind...

And in this way, I shall live forever."

Jennifer I miss you. I miss you so much! You learned this lesson - help me to learn it too.
