Dedicated to: <br />SFC Deborah Lee Johnsen, MP <br />(1966 - 2003) <br /> <br />In the quiet cool of morn <br />Before the rosy glow of dawn <br />My enchanted gardens grow. <br />In moonlight, merry larks awake <br />White flowers line the paths I take <br />And gentle fountains flow. <br />For a while I forget my pain <br />Sweet orange blossoms bloom again <br />I see you smile and say hello. <br />Lilies nod—I hear your laughter— <br />You lead the way and I fly after <br />On warm, consoling winds that blow. <br />We whirl into the light and go. <br />Before I wake... before I know. <br /> <br />Copyright ©2004<br /><br />Sarah L.
