I walked and talked with you today
The sun shone bright and the mountains spoke clear
The snow on the tops glistened as I watched, but
The river ran cold.
Thinking of you in a far away land
Knowing it is hot and humid and so different there
Wondering if you too are looking at the calendar
Does the river run cold?
My heart is happy but it is also sad
I walked and talked with you today
The joy in my heart is scared that
The river will run cold.
Is your heart happy, or is it sad too?
How are you remembering me, or are you?
Do you have joy in your heart that fears
The river will run cold?
My only wish for you is
Peace, Hope and Love
And the greatest of these is
Love.
Eva L. Shaw
