about

Sometimes, people you never actually meet, end up profoundly affecting your life in ways you never expected. Kim Marie Truax Greenberg, you will never be forgotten.

lyrics

I'm getting to know a woman that I'll never meet.
She passed too young to glory, and though her life was incomplete,
The legacy she left behind will never die,
In stories told and visions shared - a legacy of life.
And if the measure of a woman is the lives she touched,
Then Kim Marie is unsurpassed, she was loved so very much.

CHORUS:
The lives she touched, the dreams she shared,
The man she loved, the ways she cared,
Forever changed, forever she'll be there.

The years she had were fewer than they should have been,
Yet she saw the gift and inspiration, finding joy within.
She loved one man with all her heart and soul,
And many stories of their life so often are retold,
Of cats and friends and feelings, her spirit and her spark,
Her faith, her hope and humor, not diminished by the battle fought.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
For the cancer never beat her, although it took her life.
It never broke her will to live, no matter what the pain and strife.

As the end drew near she worried, more for him than for herself
She knew dying's not as hard as going on all by yourself
She didn't want him to die with her, and though she knew he'd grieve
His dreams were still within his reach if only he believed
She knew it would take time but told him - start your life again,
Once the pain has eased enough to let somebody else come in.

CHORUS

The man she loved grieved deeply, then slowly began healing.
And as she wished one day he found another heart with which to sing.
I wonder what she'd think of me and if she'd understand,
I think she does and sometimes I think I feel her take my hand.
An artist and craftswoman, her creations fill our home
And though we never met in life, her heart to me is not unknown.

And I will know her through his eyes,
A love I never want disguised,
And I will keep him warm at night,
And know she's smiling . . . in the light.

I'm getting to know the way she lived,
The ones she loved - the things she dared.
And we're forever changed, forever she'll be there
