WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE TO HOLD YOU NEAR, TO FEEL YOU BREATHE AGAIN; I NEED YOU NOW, LIKE I NEEDED YOU THEN.
HOW I REMEMBER THAT WARM SUNNY DAY, AND THE COLD COLD WATER THAT FIERCELY TOOK YOU AWAY
YOU WENT HOW ANYONE SHOULD GO, SURROUNDED BY FAMILY, PEOPLE WHO CHERISHED YOU SO.
YOU WERE RIPPED OUT OF THIS WORLD A ROSE BUD YET TO BLOOM SO MUCH LEFT FOR YOU TO LIVE FOR SO MUCH FOR YOU TO DO
YOU WERE MOTHER, DAUGHTER, SISTER, WIFE, A SHOULDER TO CRY ON.
STRONG WORDS TO COMFORT, YOU LOVED WITH SUCH A PASSION; AND COULD MOVE MOUNTAINS, WITH YOUR DETERMINATION.
SUCH LOVE FOR THIS LIFE NO ONE HAD AS MUCH AS YOU
NOW WE ARE LEFT
WITH OUT YOUR WISE WORDS TO HEAR, WITH OUT YOUR SMILE SO BRIGHT, SO GRACIOUS, SO ASTONISHING.
WHAT WAS ONCE SO FULL OF LIFE NOW LAY IN THE GROUND MOTIONLESS, BREATHLESS, LIFELESS

Full of promise of times of ease.
Other days bring thoughts of woe
No matter which way you go.
But God has given to us each other
Christian sister, Christian brother
To help with trials, both good and bad,
To lend a hand, a smile, a tad
Of hope to get us through it all
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.
So focus on a lovely thought
And let the trial linger nought.
For God, Whose Love always abides
Wants us on the other side
Of every test, and trial, and such.
He truly cares so very much.
So when you see a friend in trouble
Say,"I'll be there on the double!"
BE that Christian sister, brother
Show them love, but do not smother
Them with words that makes it seem
like you have a dot, they have a beam.
Just give a hug, a smile, a grin; they'll see
Our Jesus is for eternity.

A saturday and working, And this not out of norm, I guess I'll just keep smiling, And try some smiles to form.
And to those who may read this, I wish to you the best, For life's too short, enjoy it, Don't frown like all the rest.
