Thank You

For The Love I Found In You

I Found You

There were times in life my heart bled,
My eyes dripping like pools of rain
Times when I stumbled and I fell.
But I picked myself up and started life again.

Just when I wasn't looking for someone,
When I thought I'd be forever alone,
When I believed there was nothing in life for me,
I found you.

You brought back to my sense of being,
You brought back everything I believed in,
You gave me back my zest for life,
You put me back on track.

Thank you for loving me.
But most of all,
For giving me a chance to love again,
And be loved in return.

Thank you
For the love that keeps me alive,
A heart that reminds me with its every beat,
of a love so precious I found in you.

Mom Forever

Soars The Skies

MOM

I never thought about death
until the day you left our lives.
I never knew how hard it would be,
or how many tears would be cried.

But on that September day
when fate knocked us to the ground.
We found out what loss really was
as you were heaven bound.

It's been one long year now,
and your memories we hold so dear.
We miss you so much Mom,
and wish that you were still here.

If I could have one single wish,
I'd wish for days long past.
The days when you were home
those days that moved too fast.

The days when we were young,
and you held us close to you.
You kissed our cheeks and sang us songs,
from your heart with a love forever true.

Mom I know I can't change a thing,
or bring you back to me.
But know deep down inside my heart,
I'm happy that you are finally free.
