She Got Angel Wings Today

Today I lost my mother
A woman I so loved
She gave to me so much joy
A gift from God above

She said we should not worry
There's a time we all must go
Told us of the plans she made
All the things we'd need to know

I'm glad her fight is over
She had given all she can
She knew that she was ready
To meet her journeys end

My mother was a fighter
So much to us she gave
She lived her life for others
Made the world a better place

Her life it was so special
She was a woman I so loved
Raised five children on her own
Not once did she give up

I told her that I loved her
The night before she died
Kissed her as I held her hand
Felt the love she held inside

I loved my mother very much
And I'm glad she feels no pain
I know she went to heaven
She got Angel wings today


In memory of my mother

Up

i'm
careening
and crashing
into invisible walls•
the bumps and contusions
on  my  head
i rub•  seem
trapped,  i'm
crying   over
my trips and
falls•   stuck
in limbo, not
knowing.......
which way is

Lorraine day
From a darkened state
I will arise
No longer will I hear these cries
Of wounded thoughts
Of heart felt pain

Once more I will arise again

Towards the light I seek to find
That heals the heart
The troubled mind
Peace within
my aim
My goal
A flicker
Of hope
To heal
My soul
At his feet I kneel
In humble prayer
To tell him of my pain , despair
I feel the warmth
Upon my face
As tangled memories now erase

His light
His truth
His love

Remain


Once more I shall arise again .......

Lorraine day
A bridge made of love

From the beginning

Separates those passed on

From the land of the living ........

If I try to be like you
Then who will be like me?

Can we compare a flower
To the beauty of a tree?

If I try to be like you
Then who will be like me?

Will you perceive this world the same
The way my eyes can see?

If I try to be like you
Then who will I become?

A follower~A fallacy

True To thyself

I must succumb ...........

My future gives me an anxiety that will last a lifetime.
It will not be controlled.
It will not be known.
It's a rather cruel game, don't you agree? Being clueless to the inevitable.

While he thought of someone else, she thought of him.
There is no deeper pain than this:
To love and not be loved.
