					<description><![CDATA[I reach out to wish you well on the celebration of your birth, Only to find that you are gone you have left this earth. I missed your funeral by just one day, So, I will have to say goodbye in my own way. Lisa you always shone so bright, Always so cheeky and full&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Strong of spirit, Full of woe, Hiding memories in my soul, Time to free them, Time to know, Time to see my life as a whole, Cry my tears, Shed my shame, Heal my trauma, Be whole again, Little Lystari wants to grow, Wants to fly, Wants to crow, Look at me i am real,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do I remember my song? It pulses in the rythem of my heart. I feel it ache in my bones. I taste it on my tongue. Do I remember my song? The fragrance of the blossoms remind me. The wind whispers through the trees, “remember”. The earth solid and strong cradles me and croons “remember”.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Not again I sigh I brace myself for the climb Stepping up with my right Dragging up my left The first steps I manage Then the ache of strain Begins to build until I am awash with pain I begin to rely on my arms To drag myself up Then feel the alarm Of pain&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Barbara, I love you I heard her say, Until you had arrived her mind had lost its way, You came with compassion, gentleness and care, Then when you called &#8220;Pamela&#8221; she was there, Her heart had broken, but then continued to beat, Pamela&#8217;s family in fear did retreat, They called and called to her with no&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Image is a perception Created by our mind Filtered and deformed One will often find &#160; Looking upon their image In the silvered glass Often what is seen Is quite simply a farce &#160; When next you peek At what your surface beholds Look deeper and deeper Look into your soul &#160; Your beautiful spirit&#8230;]]></description>
