fade
to disappear or die gradually
I wanna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
You know my love will not fade away
Not fade away
Buddy Holly
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
You know my love will not fade away
Not fade away

busted flat in Baton Rouge waiting for a train
I's feeling nearly faded as my jeans
freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

the nights are cooler now
the gloaming comes earlier
along the path to the beach goldenrod and tansy grow where the wild roses once were blooming
we sit on the porch of an evening -sweaters have been dug out from the back of drawers
and sneakers mingle with the flip-flops and water shoes in the basket by the back door
low flying geese honk as they fly past us and settle onto the beach in the fading light of day

this week we've felt the loss of a gracious and softhearted family member
a gentle woman
it's a deep and enduring loss
here on our tiny island we gather as family
to say farewell
savoring the last of summer as it sets slowly into the horizon
we release it peacefully
feeling it's sweet caress as it gently fades away
May the good memories never fade away and the bad ones completely disappear. Have a nice day!Thanks for your post!
