Times Like These

i am a new day rising
i'm a brand new sky
to hang the stars upon tonight
i am a little divided
do i stay or run away
and leave it all behind?

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

[keep the faith]



it's been a whirlwind of a day.
i can't believe it's been a year already.
and i still don't understand.
but i miss him.

landscape of the heart

it is still so new and all we see is
the empty space,
but that is not how it is in
the landscape of the heart.

there,
there is no
empty space
and he still laughs
and grapples
with ideas and plans
and nods wisely
with each of us
in turn.

we are proud
to have known
him.
we are proud
to have called him
friend.
