Love is all I have for you

Remembering Drew today. He was born on the day after Christmas in 2005 and died on Ash Wednesday is 2009. One year ago today.

I have no words of use yet today, so here is a song that is speaking to me right now and some pictures.

Love I have for you
By Brad Yoder
love is all I have for you,
it will have to do, if you were looking for a miracle,
the fact that we’re still here, well that’s miraculous as anything
that I have seen magicians pull,
but I forgot the tricks I knew,
love is all I have for you..
love is all I have for you,



love is all that’s left after the wind has blown the chaff away,
I laugh at what I tried to save,
and disappointment’s just a lens to magnify what might have been,
but none of that was ever true,
love is all I have for you,
I close my eyes, I’m a child by the water,
casting stones so circles spread,
then blink twice, we are old on a park bench,
watching birds eat scattered bread,
in between we lost track of time,
but she is kind enough to remind us..


the little space between goodbyes is really only pocket-sized,
I carry you around with me in case I need some sympathy,
this fear that we’re not good enough will disappear when morning comes,
‘cause none of that was ever true,
love is all I have for you,
miraculous as anything that I have seen magicians do,
but I forgot the tricks I knew,
love is all I have for you…
