As you took your first breath
I held mine !
Closing my eyes
I said is everything fine?
------------------------------
There was a pause
You let out a yell
I knew by your sound
All was well
I asked could I hold you
My bundle of joy
Then I said
What is it?
A girl or a boy
--------------------
I didn't mind
At least you were here
Stroking your hand
Feeling you near
I held you close
To my beating heart
Never wanting us ever
To be apart
Lovingly I stared at those rosebud lips
I traced your face
With my finger tips
----------------------------
I counted your fingers
Then your toes
Smiled as I touched
Your cute little nose

This love unique
Beyond any other
The day that I became

Your Mother .......

Today I met a stranger
Who asked me for some help
And when I pondered should I
His smile made my heart melt
His request though rather simple
Made me think have I got time?
But after I had helped
He simply put his hand on mine
He told me he'd been asking
Lots of others who walked by
I looked at him and noticed
A tear drop in his eye
He thanked me for my kindness
Then slowly he walked on
I turned around to smile and wave
But suddenly he'd gone
A feeling of warmth washed over me
All at once I realised
I'd just met an angel !
An angel in disguise ........

I wonder why the earth we tread is treated such as this
I wonder where the beauty once was harmony and bliss
I wonder how we have arrived at this now common place
Iwonder what now should be is nothing but disgrace
I wonder if we stopped to think for just a moment took the time
I wonder if we realise no longer are things fine
I wonder now what's happened to this world in which we live
I wonder where's our ability to love and to forgive
I wonder how we're destroying one another every day
I wonder if we will ever find peace and joy
Some Way .........

I'd like to write you a love song
A sweet melody that says
How I feel about you
In so many tender ways
~~~~~~~~~
I'd like to write you a love song
With words that touch the soul
When you listen
You will feel my love
Though the depth
You'll never know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'd like to write you a love song
That may cause you to shed a tear
But when I'm gone
If you ever play it
That song will bring us near
I could buy you gifts
Every single day
Send you cards
The list is long
But I don't believe
There's a better way
Than to say ( I love you )
In a song..............

Do you know what I'd miss
If I was no longer here
That look in your eyes
The way you pull me near
That smile
That touch
That warm embrace
The way that you trace
The out line of my face
The sound of your laughter
The tone of your voice
The way that you share
Always giving me a choice
Your thoughtful ways
The kindness
You show
If I have a problem
You kind of just know
Your interest in all the things that I do
I'd miss all of these things
But most of all
I'd miss you.

Each day is a blessing
Never to return
Another page turned
Til our chapter is done

Each day holds a memory
As our life unfolds
Revealing our journey
Of our lives untold

Each day that we're given
Should be used in a way
Lived like its the last
As we're not here to stay

Speak only with kindness
Show gentleness and care
To those that are lonely
Let them know you are there

Give patience understanding
Whenever you can
Be a shining example
Amongst your fellow man

Do not give to receive
For self credit or gain
Reach out to all
In distress or in pain

Remember~

The reward that awaits
Is of the greatest kind

A heart full of love
And total peace of mind.........

If I should go
Before I've lived
For what reason
Have I been
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I should go
Before I see
All I should have seen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If love was never given
To all of those I met
What was the point
Of being here
~~~~~~~~~~~
To look back
With much regret .......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many wasted opportunities
To share and spend my time
With those who should have mattered
Who I now must leave behind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I should go tomorrow
This night
Or today
Have I told you each and every one
The words I'd like to say
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Like the flash of a captured photograph
Instantly
Makes us blind
Reflecting
Our fleeting existence
We have
Nothing....

Only


TIME .................
