Tears of Joy and Happiness
As I journey to Aspen, I wondered in my mind
Whether John would be there to greet me?
Or whether he would be just a moment in time
He would not be there I thought, no where in sight
Lost forever in time, in the wonders of flight
But as I sat in the sanctuary
A place where he would have loved
I looked up and saw an eagle, in the sky above
I knew then that he was here with me
In the trees, the mountains and the lakes
A friend once more, to share the joy
Of a man who gave so much
As I sit here writing this poem
A message to the world
I came here with tears of joy and happiness
For a man who gave me peace, hope and tenderness
For a man who saved many souls
To live a life of freedom, to live a life of purpose
To have so many goals
Many tears have been shed
Many new friends have been made
But without this man, without his live
I would have not been saved
As I go back to England
A place so far away
I reflect of this week
A great joy in my mind
To go home and feel at peace
With John, right by my side.
By Paul Gilbert,
In Aspen Colorado, 5 am. 15th October 2002.
