I love the ocean
I love the waves
It repairs the broken
It calms and saves

I love its magic
I love its mystery
It's a home and shelter
It's serendipity

I love its wildness
I love its music
Its hidden secrets
Its pleasurable viewing

I love its soothing
I love its inspiration
It's a contradiction
It's our heart's aching

I love the water
I love the flow
It's a reminder to be one
It's a blessing to our wholeness

I love our ocean
I love our blue marble
Earth is our special home
And the ocean is simply marvellous

I stand here in Heaven now
Looking down at the World I knew
Marilyn, my dear friend for so long
You were the Gift that grew and grew

Nothing was too much for you
Your love and friendship kept me sane
No matter what the situation was
You found a way to help the pain

And as I lay there in that bed
Month after month going by
You came to see me every day
You helped and always smiled

Even when I lost my way
Almost gave up on my Faith
You brought me flowers to cheer me up
And remind me of God's Grace

I may not have understood
The Part He had for my Life
But now that I'm on the other side
I can laugh and feel the Light

We humans certainly don't have the answers
We fail and fall but keep on trying each day
We believe and hold Hope like a fragile thing
Not always able to fathom its Powerful ways

For all the traumas and the challenges
The triumphs and the tears
I am ever grateful for it all
Especially with you to calm my fears

Thank you for being there for me
Thank you for being an Angel from Heaven
Thank you for your kindness and support
Thank you for every blessing

In time we'll meet again up here
I'll show you my favourite places
God and His Angels give us Love
They show us Mercy and Grace

And yes, I stand here in Heaven now
I never want to lie down again
I am humbled and blessed to have known you
Oh, Marilyn, my dearest friend

So long ago
Picture of my youth
That enchanted little angel
The girl who skated good

Becoming a professional
Skating on the world stage
Graceful and delightful
No thought of impending age

I took it all for granted
Unintentionally but true
Time and circumstances bled
I had lost my muse

And now that I am older
Perhaps wiser with this age
I embrace these special moments
Skating across the frozen lake

I may still seem amazing
To the normal person out there
They didn't know me in my heyday
They didn't know about my flare

But it's not for them I do this
Gliding and swirling with joy
This is for her - it's all for her
That young girl who lost her voice

She who lost her reasons
She who lost her rhymes
She who seemed to lose everything
She who tried to never mind

Oh yes, so long ago
That picture of my youth
An enchanted little angel
The girl who skated good

I do it for her
To show her the fun of it all
Because magic is all around us
And within us; even if we fall

This is for her
The healed body and heart decide
This is always for her
Love and light on frozen islands

Time is not linear
It moves through the universe in all directions
Time is an illusion
It is influenced by our perceptions

There is a miracle in this existence
We can affect the past by healing the present
Let us find peace within us
Let us forgive others and free ourselves

Share your love and light with all
Be the good you want to experience
Let's focus on being kind
Let's be the good souls the universe needs

Somehow we anchor ourselves to time
But time is fluid and free and formless
Our souls are eternal and know this
Our hearts just need space to be blessed

There is a miracle in each moment
We can choose to embrace it every time
Love and light guides us heavenward
God's angels hold peace for our minds

Make time for joy and happiness
Let your cup overflow with its essence
Love and light and harmony
Kindness in every blessing

Into the fire
All of your fears
Into the fire
All of your tears

They don't deserve them
They aren't your muse
They are just burdens
Nothing you'd choose

People don't listen
People don't care
They are more focused
On walking on air

Most of them lonely
Most of them sad
They don't want to change
They'd rather be mad

Make a decision
Just do it today
Into the fire
Time to be brave

No more complaining
Just get it done
You deserve greatness
You've already won

Into the fire
Burn off the old
Into the fire
Time to get bold

Into the fire
Phoenix rising each time
Into the fire
You're the reason and rhyme

Into the fire
Ignite your dreams
Into the fire
You're already seen

Into the fire
Never forget
Into the fire
No more regrets

Into the fire
Stand in those flames
Into the fire
Embrace the gains

Into the fire
You become whole
Into the fire
Release magic untold

The verdant hills beckon me
Come closer and experience peace
Let our natural beauty comfort you
Ignite the very best of feeling

Feeling a sense of belonging
Feeling a sense of calm
Feeling a sense of wonder
Feeling nature's balm

Your Soul will never regret it
Your body will feel renewed
For nature is the best medicine
For me and for you

Deep and forever
Deep and forever
Everything I feel for you is
Deep and forever

Deep and forever
Deep and forever
Every single thing you do
Reminds me that I'm in deep and forever

And yet when I take a breath
When I'm alone and able to think clearly
I'm reminded of your hurting
You stomping on my heart again and again

Because you are like a genie
That gives wishes that turn bad
And I just couldn't resist it
The chance to have you for myself

I made all those wishes
All those wishes stuck on you
And for a while there, baby
You made those wishes come true

Lovestruck and forever smitten
Lovestruck and chapters unwritten
Lovestruck and foolish each time
Lovestruck and entangled sublime

And now... Oh... Now...
I need to save myself
I need to get away from you
I need to get some help

And now... Oh... Now
I need to nothing you
I need to get my heart back
Put the pieces back together

Deep and forever
Deep and forever
Everything I feel for you is
Deep and forever

Deep and forever
Deep and forever
Every single thing you do
Reminds me that I'm in deep and forever

Deep and forever
Deep and forever
Everything I felt for you was
Deep and forever

Deep and forever
Deep and forever
Every single thing you did
Made me walk away and save myself

And now... Oh... Now...
I need to save myself
I need to get away from you
I need to get some help

And now... Oh... Now
I need to nothing you
I need to get my heart back
Put the pieces back together

Some say home is where the heart is
Some say it's wherever your hat is laid
I say home is that special place
Wherever you find your way

It might be where you find comfort
With friends and family
It might be where you find your soul
In its sweet mystery

It might be the silent reverie
In dark nights under the stars
It might be the ocean or waterfalls
Or maybe the wide desert spaces far

No matter where it takes you
I hope you'll find your place
Because every single one of us
Deserves that warm embrace

Our tribe that gives us acceptance
Our soul ties that connect us eternally
Our love seen in the eyes of others
Our blessings made all so real

In every one of us there remains
A piece of all the love we shared
No matter where it kisses your soul
Or lays it completely bare

I hope you'll never give up on it
Finding your way back home
Home will always be that special place
With love to call your own
