Blow Out The Candle...Make My Wish Come True

Blow out the candle...make my wish come true,
To gaze in your beautiful eyes and spend just one more day with you.
I would wish for time suspended and a walk along the beach,
Through time and understanding maybe a solution we could reach.
Then I would plead with the universe to simply turn back time,
You would still be here if destiny could be so kind.
There would be no need to place a remembrance at your grave site today,
The sorrow within my heart would simply fade away.
No longer would your image be only etched within my mind,
Joy would be restored and loving peace I may finally find.
Blow out the candle, Freddie, make my wish come true,
To hear your sweet voice say "Hi, girls" and spend some more time with you.
Time has passed, my love, the world has changed,
Yet, the connection of our spirits will always remain.
Today I will blow out the candle, and make my familiar wish,
Will the gentle breeze upon my face today contain your sweet soft kiss?
Let the warm sun upon my shoulders be the gift of your embrace,
The butterfly that circles me the sign of your presence within this place.
Blow out the candle...make my wish come true..
Let us celebrate your life till I laugh again with you.

Wheeeone-June 22, 2001

Wheeeone, how do you do it?!! I truly love your poem. You have opened up and poured out a portion of the love in your wondrous heart for your Friend. It touched me so, that I could almost see the tears in your eyes and the anguish of your thoughts at this loss.
What is sweet, is that you remind us of the hope of tomorrow. I cried though because you so aptly conveyed the feelings you experience ongoing because of this tragedy. My heart goes out to you and please know that we are all here for you and most of all, Freddie is aware of your love for him. I know he must be overwhelmed at the poignancy of your poem here. Close your eyes and you will see his warm smile and a sparkle in his eyes today -- because of YOU.

I just sat here after reading it, trying to find the words, for how moved I am. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know it could not have been easy. However, I am so grateful and obligated to you because you did. I almost expect the skies to open up and a beam of sunlight to pour out on you since you poured out love from within your heart today! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

What a sweet poem! Hopefully he knows now that you cared. So sad how he ended it all when there was someone who cared...

I wish I can do that! You made a wonderful poem to Freddie. You have a gift........ Use it well.

Thank you all for conveying your thoughts and words on my poem to Freddie today. Each post was a kiss to my soul and I treasure them. Even though words have always come easily for me and I am truly thankful for the gift, I cannot, as yet, find the words to truly express what all of you have brought to my life. I will simply say, "Thank You" from one of the deepest corner's of my heart.
