Let TOVE DITLEVSEN'S Poem "Memory" inspire you
FOR ADELE ALEXANDRINE LUDIVINE
have i
told you lately
that i love you
when i think of you
a rush of joy
and a ray of hope quivers
in the spring breeze
it's your birthday today
you have been gone so long
only in the memory
does my heart find peace
you are the only one
who has ever loved me
i noticed too late
joy resides somewhere
beyond the pearly gates
where we will meet again
Happy Birthday Darling
I am glad you have the beautiful memories & also the knowledge that you will meet again!
