Tributes to Holly

[Vivian]

On March 5, of this year, marked the 10th annerversary of my niece, Holly's death. Tomorrow(May 27), Holly would have been 15 years old. This time of year is always difficult for me and my family, and I would like to do this tribute for her, and there is no better tribute than some of Cat/Yusuf's beautiful songs!

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last forever
You know he never will
(You know he never will )
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Therell never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
(You know you never will )
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time

Peace,Vivian

Oh, they've killed all the Little Ones
While their faces still smiled
With their guns and their fury
They erased their young lives
No longer to laugh
No longer to be a child
Oh, they've killed all the Little Ones
While their faces still smiled

Now they're burying the Little Ones
And making their graves deep
So the world cannot see
That tonight we may sleep
While they wash away the blood
The mothers all weep
Oh, they're burying the Little Ones
And making their graves deep


Yet where will the devils go
When that day comes?
When the angels drag them out
To face The Little Ones


Oh they killed all the Little Ones
With their eyes open wide
There was nothing to help them
On the day that they died


No bed to run under
No cupboard to hide
Oh they've killed all the Little Ones
With their eyes open wide


They'll be raising The Little Ones
With no sin to atone
In the light of high Heaven
They will sit on tall thrones
Where playtime lasts forever
And God's Mercy never ends
They'll be raising the Little Ones
And they'll all be best friends
They'll be raising the Little Ones
And they'll all be best friends

Peace,Vivian

There's a yellow flower by your bed
Sadly droopin' it's perfumed head
So you won't smell it, I know what you'll miss

And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.

There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore
Lying down on the cold, dirty floor.
The colors are fading, they'll never shine again.

And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Oh there's a hummingbird singing.

Now the road is turning gray,
There's a shadow where you once lay.
They'll find it tomorrow, and think you went alone.

But there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
A hummingbird, a hummingbird,
Ah there's a hummingbird crying.

Peace,Vivian

Asalaamu Alaykum Vivian,
You and your loved ones will be in my prayers. Soon will be my wedding anniversary and soon after will be the anniversary of my husbands death. He was only 34. We must live on and that is the hardest thing we can do. May blessings be upon you. We will all get through this, God Willing.
Peace,

;DHello Viv,

I recently became friends with the great
Folk/Rock legend Buzzy Linhart.
He has known/worked with just about ALL
the great musicians of the last 40 years.

Nowadays, he is probably best known
for writing the classic song "Friends"
(the song featured on "Shrek").

I shared your loss with him..I hope you
don't mind. He has asked me to share
this song of his with you. It has been
recorded by a number of singers-most
notably by his old ex-girlfriend, CARLY SIMON.

He hopes it will help you in dealing with your
loss and on-going grief. He sends you his
love(and he MEANS IT)! I'll send you an
mp3 of him singing it today.

The Love's Still Growing

And I'm so high I can't go on.
Oh but I can sing this song.

Because the love's still growing.
And the love's still growing.

And some folks say that all hope is gone.
But TODAY the world is one.

Because the love's still growing.
And the love's still growing.

And it's time to say, it's time to know
that it's o.k. that some must go.

Because the love's still growing.
Yes, the love's STILL growing.

With love(and I MEAN IT)
Shirley

Peace,Vivian
