If you were here
I know that you would
Truly be amazed
At what's become of what you made

If you were here
You would know how I treasured every day
How every single word you spoke
Echo's in me like a memory of hope

When you were here
You could not feel the value that I placed
On every look that crossed your face
When you were here

I did not know just how I had embraced
All that you hid behind your face
Could not hide from me
'Cause it hid in me too

Hello tiger, it's great fun, talking with you. like this--in fact I'm going to do it more often

Now that I'm here I hear you and wonder if maybe you can hear yourself
Ringing in me now that your somewhere else.

I miss you a lot

'Cause I hear your strange music gentle and true

But I'm so proud of everything you do there

Singing inside me with the best parts of you

Next time I see you you'll proudly sing it back to me

Now that I'm here

I hope somewhere you here them too

Now that I'm here

I love you...

It's okay you can go now

    I love Poe for doing this CD, for getting it all out, for using her music as a way to release, for using recordings of her father, for healing herself through her music! It must have been so hard to listen to her fathers voice over and over and pick out what parts she wanted for the CD but at the same time I'm sure it was very healing and I have an immense amount of respect for that.
