Love and Children

How Do I ever tell you
What you mean to me?
Words usually come easy
When I write of Family, you see.

Telling you "I Love You"
Never seems enough
To express all these feelings
It remains tough.

There is so much to say here
Words cannot convey
Feelings overwhelm me
Joy comes in waves.

I waited a Long time
to find you, it is true
No more lonesome and alone
Not one now, but Two.

The many years we have been together
Have Flown by, don't you see?
Raising our Family,
Our Lovely Daughters, Three.

Playing together, they
frolic Tis true
My 3 Delights there
Dresses,Yellow and Blue.

Laughing and Running
And Giggling so fine.                                       Screen doors banging
Sunrise,Sunset,Starlight,                                   Fresh in my mind.                      
Heaven in mind.                                                Now the Yard outside
                                                                           Is silent I find.
Camping and Campfires
Fresh Air, Sleep
Crisp and Clear
Fishing, the Creek.

My Three little babies
Who Love the outdoors
Are all dirty and rumpled,
When they come indoors.

                                                       The Stars seemed so near

Those many years ago
When I met you that night.
I have to Admit now,
It was Love at First Sight!

I fell like a Brick then
For you I did yearn
Living alone then,
Lost in Waters so churned.

I missed you so badly
And Could not be alone
You were all I could think about
In another time zone.

I never thought you would Love me
I worried you would leave.
Not caring enough to follow
I reached my Dream to Weave.

Yet you followed me Searching
Letting me Know
Love You Were teaching
Never Besmirching.

Over the years even closer we grew.
WE could finish the Story,
Each others Words we knew!

Tender in the rough times
Ever Patient and Kind
Letting ME Discover
What I needed to Find.

I will LOVE you Forever,
This I now Know.
As we snuggle and cuddle,
Safe as it Snows.

We are ONE together
In the Best Possible Way.
Spending Life together
Always Each Day.

Just wanted to Tell You
In Words I Express
That My Love only Deepens
For TOGETHER we're Blessed!

To Mom

I'm missing you Mom, not by choice
Sometimes I think I even hear your voice.
Or I will travel over to the Phone
wondering what you are doing,if you are home.

Only to realize as I go
That you are now up in Heaven, I know.
Time passes so rapidly now
Sometimes I even wonder how

Things can go on as Normal like the Birth of a Fawn
Or that the Stars can Shine From Dusk until Dawn
As If nothing in this World has changed,
Time moves on, Re-Arranged.

New little ones here now,
With giggles and smiles, Wow!
I can surely attest
They grow and grow to be their best.

They grow every day
Soon to be 4, 13, 11, and 10, Yay!
One Birthday occurs on the 9th of October.
Suddenly I become very sober.

You did not meet them
Or see the first swim!
The first steps, them crawling
or giggling from within.

Having Grandbabies with us makes it easier, I miss you less
Keeping busy, we work onward to pass the test.
With them to help us this I know,
The Pain of your loss will eventually slow.

You would be so Proud Mom,Seeing us all go on,
Are you Singing in Heaven, helping us stay Strong?
I cannot but hope that this is true,
You always wanted to do so, so now Lead Your Own Crew!

We know you are Happily Joking, making the Angels laugh,
Playing to a Full House, the Rafters ring with your Craft.
Knowing your Pain and Suffering here is done
Points to tomorrow yet to come.

For you see, Dear treasured Mother of Mine,
We can STILL feel your Smile in the Bright Sunshine!
Or see a penny, and pick it up
Knowing that it's you sending us luck.

Miss you so much, Hugs Mom!
