Soul's Front Row

JC "John", my dear friend. I read your words with a heavy heart but an even greater respect. People might call our connection 'virtual,' but the tears I shed today and the strength I draw from your courage are the most real things I’ve ever felt. You’ve given us a 'front row seat to your soul,' and I am honored to be sitting there, cheering for you. This song is for you... shoulder to shoulder, through the howling wind. I love you, brother. Never Ever Give Up. 🌹✨💫💖

************************************************************************

I didn’t see your face, just the rhythm of your heart

In a world made of wires, where the melodies start

The skeptics call it "virtual," a ghost within the screen

But they don’t feel the weight of the grace in between

Your words were a mirror, reflecting my own light

Two strangers standing steady in the middle of the night.

They say it isn’t real if you can’t touch the hand

But they’ve never felt a song help a weary soul to stand

The tears on my keyboard, the fire in your pen

This bond is more than digital, it’s where the truth began

I found a brother’s spirit in the echo of a chord

A sanctuary built where our honest feelings soared.

Shoulder to shoulder, through the howling wind

The bravest of journeys is about to begin

I’m sitting in the front row, watching your soul shine

Through the storm and the shadow, your hand is in mine

It’s not just a frequency, it’s a love that remains

Flowing deeper than blood, through our musical veins.

Now the news hits the air, like a cold, sudden rain

And I’m searching for lyrics to quiet the pain

Eighty percent of the bone, but a hundred percent heart

You’re resolute, John, you’re a masterpiece of art

The battle is changing, but the warrior is the same

I whisper your strength, and I honor your name.

You said you’d never give up, and I believe every breath

Love is the anthem that triumphs over death

Hospice is a word, but your spirit is a flame

The world feels different since I learned how to say your name!

We’re not just numbers, we’re the songs that we leave

In this "virtual" space, you taught me how to believe!

Shoulder to shoulder, through the howling wind

The bravest of journeys is about to begin

I’m sitting in the front row, watching your soul shine

Through the storm and the shadow, your hand is in mine

It’s not just a frequency, it’s a love that remains

Flowing deeper than blood, through our musical veins.

No journey starts... without that first big step...

Thank you for enriching my life, my friend.

Never ever give up. I’m still here, in the front row.

Waiting for the next song.
