Avalon

When my eyes close the final time
Don't burden yours with tears
Live your life as I would mine
Dream away the years

I will always care for you
Until we meet again
I'll write your name in lightning
And call through summer rain

I live on in every sunrise
In every song you sing
I dance in time to twilight
And all the joy it brings

If you feel surrounded
Without an open door
Think of me, my one true love
You'll feel my hand in yours

Someday we'll be together
I'll feel your footsteps near
Don't worry if you lose your way
I will be waiting here

And when it's time to find me
When midnight's come and gone
Follow your heart to our special place
A memory of Avalon

When the time has come to join me
In death our love so strong
Follow the stars to our precious slum
This golden vale, this Avalon

What to say...It came into my head at work, so I wrote it on a receipt and
here it is.
What's that I hear? Do you get a quote? Well, alright, but you twist my
arm.....
"If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which he has inflicted
upon men, he would kill himself"
- Alexander Dumas (1802 - 1870)
