Far Away
October 2nd, 2007 by JaredI finally did it. I finished my song about Cole. It only took a year and a half, but it’s done.
Far Away
There’s an empty room, the door is closed
And neither of us enter anymore
Though some say that was all we had
All we wanted was to live our lives
It’s not that easy when a part of us has diedYou know that…
I would cross the ocean to be with you, to see you through this
I would fall on my face to kiss your feet
And when I see the sun is rising, I’ll wish you were still with me
But although you’re far away, maybe you’re dreaming of the sameThere’s a dusty book laying on a shelf
Filled with notes you forgot that I took
But the words mean nothing by themselves
So you close the book and shut your eyes
And try to take yourself to a time when we could reach the other sideBut don’t forget that…
I would cross the ocean to be with you, to see you through this
I would fall on my face to kiss your feet
And when I see the sun is rising, I’ll wish you were still with me
But although you’re far away, maybe you’re dreaming of the sameDon’t you know I’d give my soul for five minutes more

5 minutes more….says it all….our time with Cole went by very fast….although he is in my thoughts every day more profoundly than anyone whose life has intersected with mine. I love you both so much and am amazed at the way you can state your precious feelings and thoughts outloud. This too is a treasured gift…like the gift that you are to me! Lots of love and hugs to you! Grandma Kathy

Wow, I don’t know how anybody could write something like this. So intense. Well done. Bravo!

Jared, you’ve touched my heart in a way I didn’t expect when I read the words and heard your voice singing. You took my breath away.
I am thinking of you both now, as I was before, and my heart is with you both as the sound of your song echos inside me.
Love to you Jared and Darla and wishing you every happiness today and tomorrow
Your Aunt Schelly
