I loved you since

I loved you since before you came
Before I gave you the gift of life
So many treasured memories
That I cherish every minute of life
No greater gift could parallel
To the love we have for our children
No matter how many tears we cry
Our love is limitless~ unconditional
Life’s beauty is reflected through the eyes of a child
Wrapped in their hands ~ we hold forever
You live inside my heart
I’m so blessed to be your mother

Family feeds the soul

Family” feeds
the soul of our being
It's the fuel
that ignites our hearts
It's the core
of our spiritual essence
Reflecting all that is,
~ who we are
We relate
to our own
personal reasons
Only we can explain why
Distinctive
in our own identities
A profound acceptance
Of you and I

Without my Mum

Eight years have been lost without you
…And I taste my tears ~ a little more
The day you went to heaven
Was a day that is no more
I wish the 10th of January
Didn’t really come around
I want to remember only good times
Not the sadness of that sound
Where emptiness and pain
Left me weak and oh, so broken
The day I said goodbye to you
The day when you were taken
But you left me with your heart
That lives inside my soul
For that I’m ever grateful
~ It somehow makes me feel more whole
The angels sing so much louder today
…..In memory of you
The sound of their harp softly strumming
……Remembering you.
I love you every day Mum ~ and miss you more xxx

Family feeds our soul 2

“Family”
feeds the soul of our being
It's the fuel that ignites our hearts
It's the core of our spiritual essence
Reflecting everything we are
We relate to our own
personal reasons
Only we can explain why
We hold on to truth and promises
To lift our sprits high
Accepting each other’s failures
Inside a safe place to speak
With forgiveness and love
Our family ~ is one ~ unique

The memory of yesterdays dreams

We live in the memory of yesterday’s dreams
Where the cares of the world don’t exist
We look back to where the rainbow ends
Where the moon and the stars shared a kiss
Where choosing the flavor of ice-cream
Meant more than the time of day
Where squandering hours in the park
Was where you had the best time at play
My childhood memories are invaluable
~ they made me who I am ~ like no other
All due to my strong foundation
Family’s love ~ from my Mother & Father

As you look back in reflection

As you look back
In reflection
~ On the journey
Of a life well lived
Where memories linger
To warm you
And you find comfort
In everything you did
Recollect days of yesteryear
Breathe in each moment given
Relish in those significant moments
Some profound ~ and unforgiving
For each pivotal moment measured
Defined the path of yesterday
Engraving footprints for tomorrow
For every blessed birthday

Worlds apart in different places

As the wind blows across the ocean of time
And the burning orange twilight spans your world and mine
The sky folds the horizon, as a mirage of two
As the moon awakens, the sun smiles on me and you
Worlds apart, in different time zones
You sleep throughout my day
Your sun shines through my nighttime
And the wind blows; the trees sway
Despite the many miles of darkness
Your light in me will always shine
For you and I share years of memoirs
Moments that spread a lifetime
.

Light of my life

You were the light of my life
Back then ~
As I rocked you gently to sleep
And still you shine
Inside this heart of mine
Where I fold all my memories to keep
A loving child you were,
Back then ~
and now a beautiful young man ~
you’ve grown to be
You shine within your spirit
That spreads all over me ~
You were the pride of my heart
~ Back then
And still today you mean so much more
You wrap me in a warmth, only a mother knows
Every day ~ then as before
Thank you for all you’ve given to me
Every moment of your life
You mean the world and more to me, 
Happy Birthday sweetheart ~ enjoy life!

Family Values

All I am, I owe to my family
Where I learn how to live and love
All the treasures of being who I am
And all that I am made of.
You shape my very existence
Mold my identity
Give me a sense of purpose
In all life’s serenity
You support my decisions
Encourage and make me strong
You stand up when no one else will
To advise me right from wrong
We relate now to our own personal reasons
Of silent words that only we understand
We accept each other’s failures
With a smile and an outstretched hand
We forgive when no one else will
Wipe the tears we’ve shed from heartaches
We hold onto truth and promises
And erase the little mistakes
We lift up when others are falling
Provide a safe place to speak
With forgiveness and a trusting sincerity
Our family – is one – so unique
