~THE CORD~
~Author Unknown~
We are connected,
my chid and I,
by an invisible
cord, not seen by the eye.
It's not like
the cord, that connects us "till birth"
this cord
can't be seen, by any on earth.
This cord does
it's work, right from the start,
the invisible
cord, from my child to me.
The strength
of this cord, is hard to describe,
it can't be
destroyed, it can't be denied.
It's stronger
than any cord, man could create,
It withstands
the test, can hold any weight.
And though
you are gone, though you're not here with me,
the cord is
still there, but no one can see.
It pulls at
my heart ~ I am bruised ~ I am sore,
but this cord
is my lifeline, as never before.
I am thankful
that God connects us this way,
a parent and
child, death can't take it away.
~IF
TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY~
~Author Unknown~
If tears could
build a stairway
and memories
were a lane
I could walk
right up to Heaven
and bring
you home again.
No farewell
words were spoken
no time to
say good-bye
you were gone
before I knew it
and only God
knows why.
My heart's
still active in sadness
and secret
tears still flow
what it meant
to lose you
no one can
ever know.
But now I know
you want us
to mourn for
you no more
to remember
all the happy times
life still
has much in store
Since you'll
never be forgotten
I pledge to
you today
a hallowed
place within my heart
is where you'll
always stay.
