Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Good Bye Julia Operator can you please help me place this call? Something is in my eyes. Isn't this the way they say it goes? You see Julia thank you for your time. You have been more than kind. My good luck charm was your soothing voice ringing in the hallway. But like a candle that blows out in the wind it is time for you to move on. Every time I try I to tell you I know It is kind of strange the words just came out wrong. I run out of things to say I know you would understand. The melody of a song I speak or a poem I write just for you. Maybe I could hum it to you on your way up to heaven on that old faithful stairway. The last time you walk out the door there is something I just got to say. It is getting kind of late you know? Every time I try to tell you the words just came out wrong that I just needed to talk to someone because I feel all alone. Now the alarm clock is ringing and I have to wake up from this heavenly grandeur. So I have to say to you in an old fashion poem. I will miss you from the bottom of my heart like photographs and memories that I treasure so dearly. That I hold near and dear being sacred to my eternal beating bleeding heart. Your thoughts that takes me to another time and another place. Like the gentle wind that caresses your face or the falling rain on your body to show you the tears falling down my face. I will always cherish the time you spent with me. It is now time to say goodbye. Till we meet again in the walk of life's journey. Remember the last star light we talked and embraced until we meet again on Earth's horizon. It is all heavenly bliss I want you to know. And that is how I want you to remember me despite my suffering that is not forever. I want you to know this that I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I promise you... Goodbye my counselor. Your counsel has been sound. Quote Larsen M. Callirhoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 there are parts from 4 of his songs in this piece lol.. As soon as someone mentioned his songs I would have come clean. If I sold this for money I would give him due credit, but he has been deceased for what like 41 years I believe. He died to young for sure. Julia is my counselor and she is moving on at the end of the year. She is married or I might word things a tad bit different and still keep it professional of course. Jim Croce was a beautiful soul... as soon as i decided to write a poem for my psychological therapist last night my counselor the songs of Jim Croce just popped into my head. My Counselor last Monday told me she is moving on in a few weeks and I only have like 4 or 5 sessions left with her. You see we really gel because she likes a lot of my poetry. it makes me sad, but i understand in life moving on is a part of life and i appreciate the time spent together. i am glad we bounded but such is life. I will certainly miss her for sure. *sighs*... i looked up the lyrics to the song you mentioned. what a beautiful song that hasn't gotten much airplay if it ever did. I only have 2 of his 6 album releases I believe. I have bad bad Leroy Brown and his greatest hits not the remastered version. thanks for stopping by. your remarks and taking a look at my work here means the world to me especial a poem i will treasure long after her memory has faded from my thoughts....

Benjamin Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 A lovely sentiment Victor and thank you for this welcome reminder of a wonderful artist, whose songs I enjoyed playing back in the 70s. As a guitarist I meticulously arranged Photographs and Memories, Time in a Bottle, I love You in a Song and New York Ain't my Home, for people I worked with at the time. Arthritis hasn't reached the fingers yet so instead of standards like Misty and The Shadow of Your Smile, I'll have a pleasant therapeutic afternoon tomorrow remembering Jim Croce. Best wishes to you. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W. Parsley Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 A touching tribute, Victor. There are few gifts so fine as a kindred spirit. Thanks, - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
