In loving memory of ALEXANDRA AGIUS - 1966-2019. I heard your voice in the wind today; And I turned to see your face; The warmth of the wind caressed me; As I stood silently in place; I felt your touch in the sun today; As its warmth filled the sky; I closed my eyes for your embrace; And my spirit soared high; I hold you close in my heart today; It made me feel complete; You have died but you are not gone; You will always be part of me; As long as the sun shines; The wind blows, the rain falls; You will live in inside me forever; For that is all my heart knows.
