~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.

~TEARS IN HEAVEN~
~Eric Clapton~

Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven.
Tears can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you beggin' please.
Beyond the door there's peace, I'm sure ~
And I know that there'll be no more tears in Heaven.
Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven.
