Each life has its own beat,
moving through space
at its own pace,
standing still for no one,
and yet you, as if not caring,
though knowing how precious
it was to you, gave to me selflessly,
life’s most priceless possession –
your time.
It is only my wish
that you feel your time
not to have been given in vain.
For waiting is not
what I meant for you,
but to share with me
the images of life
that God has sent me through,
and if this life affords me again
the chance to share with you
the new and hidden knowledge,
through song, I will move as swiftly
as life demands, but never so fast
as not to give you my very best.
Addendum: Love Notes (Ramsey Lewis)
There are no two snowflakes alike
No two raindrops the same.
No two flowers bloom alike in Spring
There are no two hearts that love
in the same way.
But all humanity could be served
To a greater need if we but listen
To the notes of love which exist
In our hearts.
–Stevie Wonder
