After September 11, 2001, my heart ached for all those children who lost their parents...and for all those parents who lost their children. As a mother, that is one of my greatest fears - to think my children will be without me. As a professional harpist, I use music to express my feelings, so one October evening I was playing a new melody on the harp. Our two sons named the melody, "I Will Always Be With You" then went to bed. My heart opened and the words came. In 15 minutes the song was complete. It was so simple...yet it said everything.
Here are the lyrics to the song which have been illustrated into this heart-touching book:
When you're sleeping
When you're dreaming
I will always be with you
When the wind blows
When the snow falls
I will always be with you
When the sun comes up each morning
When the stars come out at night
When you look up at a rainbow
I'll be there...
When you're lonely
and your heart aches
I will always be with you
When you're laughing
When you're smiling
I will always be with you
When the sun comes up each morning
When the stars come out at night
When you look up at a rainbow
I'll be there...
All the memories that we share
Can be found within your heart
So no matter where we are
We are never apart
Share your beauty
Let your light shine
So that everyone can see
You are Sunshine
You are Starlight
We are One...Forever One...You and Me

Enjoy sharing this comforting message with your children, grandchildren, inner child, nieces, nephews, friends and family.
