Every time I hear this song, I am moved to tears….it rings truth through my soul and urgency through my veins…and it is close to my heart from my own personal trials and painful losses….the song carries an innocence and powerful conviction for the gift of life and the frailty of our mortality….I have written out the beautiful lyrics for you and I know you will be blessed as you give a few moments to hear the message….bless each one of you as you reflect on the value and preciousness of your life and as you carry on throughout your day….Namaste….
If I die young bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother She’ll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and Life ain’t always what you think it ought to be, no ain’t even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well I’ve had just enough time
If I die young bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well I’ve had just enough time
And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger I’ve never known the lovin’ of a man But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love me forever Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well I’ve had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’ Funny when you’re dead how people start listenin’
If I die young bury me in satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song
The ballad of a dove Go with peace and love Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket Save them for a time when your really gonna need ‘em oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well I’ve had just enough time
My blog, 'MORTAL HEARTS WITH IMMORTAL SOULS', is a place of fantasy, reality, spirituality and beauty. A place to unwind and find inspiration for the soul. It consists of my personal thoughts and experiences, poetry, prose, quotes, beautiful photos, uplifting music, words of encouragement, and undying love. I welcome respectful, open discussion, sincere opinions and feedback, and encourage any questions you may have personally or of that which pertains to the subject’s content.
I recently began writing a paranormal romance story. It is my dream to become a published author and I have had an amazing experience on this new writing adventure.
I live a quiet life, in the peace and tranquility of beautiful country surroundings. My husband and son are my life and my joy. I am your average person with a passion for reading and writing, and I love to sit and contemplate the mysteries of life and the experience of the human pilgrimage. This is a love story, the journey of our fragile, mortal bodies that have been endowed with the power of an immortal soul.
I do hope you enjoy the content found in this blog. I pour out my heart and soul into each word and lovingly present it to the world, for better or for worse.

This is one of my favorite authors of paranormal romance, and I highly recommend her 'Guild Hunter' Series. These are a deeply erotic, passionate and spiritual in content....I LOVE THEM! This is book #3 in the series...
