Dedicated to: br SFC Deborah Lee Johnsen, MP br (1966 - 2003) br br In the quiet cool of morn br Before the rosy glow of dawn br My enchanted gardens grow. br In moonlight, merry larks awake br White flowers line the paths I take br And gentle fountains flow. br For a while I forget my pain br Sweet orange blossoms bloom again br I see you smile and say hello. br Lilies nod—I hear your laughter— br You lead the way and I fly after br On warm, consoling winds that blow. br We whirl into the light and go. br Before I wake... before I know. br br Copyright ©2004br br Sarah L.
