HE WHO IS MY SON
"As a baby, I cuddled you in my arms
And smothered your sweet face with kisses.
I vowed I would never let you go.
As a child, I pushed you to study hard
And learn all the good things
From the world around you.
As a young man, I encouraged you
To follow your dreams and pray,
be passionate about all your choices.
And then I did the hardest thing I ever had to do…
That which I vowed I would never do…
I had to let you go."
MEMORY LANE
"There is a place in every heart,They call it Memory Lane,Where thoughts of loved ones lost, Forever will remain.God made this special place,When he first created man,For he knew it would be needed,As part of our life's plan.He knew when loved ones left us,We'd need some time to heal,To come to terms with sorrow,And the loneliness we'd feel.So when you lose a loved one,And your life is filled with pain,The comfort of their presence,Will be found in Memory Lane."
A MOTHERS GRIEF
IF YOU REALLY LOVE ME,
AND I BELIEVE YOU DO,
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP ME,
HERE IS WHAT I NEED FROM YOU.
SIT DOWN BESIDE ME,
REACH OUT AND TAKE MY HAND,
SAY "MY FRIEND, I'VE COME TO LISTEN,
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND."
JUST HOLD MY HAND AND LISTEN
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO,
AND IF BY CHANCE I SHED A TEAR,
IT'S ALRIGHT IF YOU DO TO.
I SWEAR THAT I'LL REMEMBER
TILL THE DAY I'M VERY OLD,
THE TRUE FRIEND WHO SAT AND HELD MY HAND
AND LET ME BARE MY SOUL.
"SOME PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES AND QUICKLY GO. SOME PEOPLE MOVE OUR SOULS TO DANCE. THEY AWAKEN US TO NEW UNDERSTANDING WITH THE PASSING WHISPER OF THEIR WISDOM. SOME PEOPLE MAKE THE SKY MORE BEAUTIFUL TO GAZE UPON. THEY STAY IN OUR LIVES FOR A LITTLE WHILE, LEAVE FOOTPRINTS ON OUR HEARTS AND WE ARE NEVER~EVER THE SAME."

LOVE IS WHAT KEEPS US GOING
Cherished Memories
"Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away."

~BECAUSE WE MISS YOU~
"Now that I'm gone,
remember me with a smile and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
Who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them
what you need to give to me.
There are so many
who need so much.
I want to leave you something.
Something much better
than words or sounds.
Look for me
in the people
I've known and loved or helped
in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love
reach out to our loved ones.
By embracing them
and living in their love.
Love does not die,
people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give it away as best you can."
