Raymond Scott Cook
I've often felt I cannot continue without him, but I can't disgrace his memory by leaving this 'terrible place' before I'm called. I hope he is is watching me, and is pleased with what he sees.
We had just seven short years together, many of them stormy, but with any storm you find the warm port of 'home' even more sweet. We were that port to one another. Many weekends were spent just being together, doing nothing at all.
We were so lucky to be able to spend many of his final weeks together almost all day every day, and while it was a heartbreaking and painful time for us both I know that it offered some measure of comfort and happiness that we were together and that we had finally arrived at that place together we could call 'home' - in one another's love.
Punkin, I'll always love you, and you know, as soon as I can, I'll be "comin' on".
This old world can lay so heavy on my shoulders
And this face in my mirror keeps getting older
But no matter how much pressure's on
I can lay it down when I get home
'Cause it all just fades away when I touch you
It's the kind of love
That lingers through the ages
A firm foundation, built to see us through
So let the storms of life go right on ragin'
For there's calm inside my heart when I touch you
Years from now when my life's nearly over
And there's nothing more this world needs me to do
If my feeble hand's still strong enough to reach out
I can leave a happy man when I touch you
It's the kind of love
That lingers through the ages
On a firm foundation, built to see us through...
So let the storms of life go right on ragin'...
For there's calm inside my heart when I touch you...
Yes, it makes everything alright when I touch you...
