    Far Away

    October 2nd, 2007 by Jared

    I 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 died

    You 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 same

    There’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 side

    But 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 same

    Don’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!

    4. Aunt Schelly:

      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
