You can also feel free to contact me.  😊 I told Di, personally this "Live" was my favorite. Check her out on YouTube or Google her, you'll see she's the Real Deal,one of the Best

Things That Never Die
The pure, the bright, the beautiful
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
The streams of love and truth,
The longing after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes-
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need;
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves a friend indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens high,
The sorrow of a contrite heart-
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do,
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm and just and true.
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee-
"These things shall never die."
...Charles Dickens

Silent Tears
by Amanda Smith Published on October 2011
shh...listen don't you hear
I'm crying but they are silent tears
I'm crying on the inside so you can't see
all the pain running though me
I cry for you I cry for me
I cry for the times I can't
so if you listen you may hear my silent tears.

Brother and sister
we will forever be.
Brother and sister,
together as friends,
ready to face
whatever life sends.
Joy and laughter
or tears and strife,
I will always look up to
you and call you my best friend.

I'm just outdone hearing about your going home to be with Jesus. I've loved you always and the kindness that you showed me and my children. My prayers and condolences to the entire Diane Witherspoon family. Another one of your song birds has gone on to be with the Lord. That heavenly choir just got a little bit more soul.
R.I.P. My lovely Aunt Diane Witherspoon. You will be so missed  ❣️

If I haven't seen you to wish you a Merry CHRISTmas, please forgive me! I pray that you had a very blessed CHRISTmas and that you were able to spend time with the special people in your life.
In memory of the loved ones that God has recently called home (AuntieDiane Witherspoon, Mom Ora Lee Law, Cousin Beverly Brown and others I may not remember right now) I know our celebrations are not the same without you. You are here in my heart and I am grateful to God for the memories that I have because of you. I love you, always!
