Here we are ..The two of us.
Blocking out the world.
All I see is you..All you see is me.
The world has no place here.
With all its strife and turmoil.
We give peace to each other..
rest and desperately needed Tranquility.
I explore your eyes.An endless sea of comfort.
Time passes too quickly.We try to shut it out.
To cling to moments shared
Where there is no such thing as Time
Soon  the music will stop
our dance will be over
but for this instant,we live apart from everything
but our love.

My guardian Angel is crying
She knows what's in my heart.
The man to whom I gave my love
told me we have to part.

Her tears now fall as raindrops
Sad teardrops from the sky
They fall onto a sullen earth
On which my body lies.

My Father gave me wisdom
and scriptures for my heart.
My Mother put in practice
the love that God imparts.

By watching how she lives her love
and How Gods light so shines,
and seeing the peace within her heart,
I wanted that for mine.

Never boastful nor judgemental
I have never heard her yell
She will quote a verse to ease your pain,
She knows them all so well.

No problem overtakes her
His promises she trusts
She lives to do his will because
she loves Him oh so much

She's a quiet overcomer
An example for us all
When I need an inspiration,
I know just who to call.

My Mother may not ever know
The seeds of faith she sows
How many souls she wins for God
as through her life she goes

She's a living testimony
And when her time on Earth is gone
I, for one, will be there
To hear God say "Well Done"

It lived within my Grandmother.
A woman who walked with God.
She passed it to my Mother
Her feet with peace were shod.

My mother gave it willingly
to me and many others
And I will pass it lovingly
along to both  my daughters.

If all goes as God planned
They will pass it too
The gift of knowing Gods tender love
and what He has done for you.

As a child I watched and listened
She taught me from the start
That life is well worth living
with Jesus in your heart.

And now I watch my babies grow
as maybe you do too
Another gift can start right now..
If you let it begin with you.

God smiled at me,and gave me a gift..
the day that I met you.
He saw that my spirit needed a lift
and showed nme what love can do.

When my happiness was everything
I ever dreamed it could be..
God smiled at me,gave me a gift..
I carried within..your baby.

Now my life is filled with happiness
and joy I never knew.
God smiled at me.Gave me a gift..
another day with you.

I peer over the top of my book. trying not to let her see me watching her.
She sits on the bench everyday with a small bag of seed for the birds.
Her hands are gnarled with age.A trophy of years of labor and caregiving.
It's a chore now to open the bag with fingers that used to be nimble.
Time has deformed them.
I am fascinated by her ability to adjust to the changes in her body.
Afraid that I won't be able to grow old as gracefully as she has.
I admire her tenacity as she shells a peanut for the squirrels.
I see her as beautiful, and hope that I can learn from her the beauty that age can bring.

You're having a birthday
but the numbers are wrong
Something doesn't add up

wasn't it yesterday
we were singing a song
pretending to be grown-up

wasn't it yesterday
we ran through the woods
to the clearing and the big oak tree?

wasn't it yesterday
when  "ring ring missus"
was your telephone call to me?

wasn't it yesterday upon the swings
that we could play all day?

wasn't it yesterday
that we would play?
wasn't it yesteday?
