Minutes To Seconds

Dedicated to my mother, Ann Mary Stenberg If I could give you the strength to walk by yourself, I'd do this in less than a minute. If I could eliminate all the troubles and sadness from your heart, I'd do this in less than a second. If I could give you a rainbow with the most significant colors, and something inspirational to brighten your day, I'd do this in less than a minute If I could offer you hope, fulfillment, and a painless world of complete satisfaction, I'd do this in less than a second. If I could change your life and have you healthy again, I'd do this in less than a minute. If there was anything I could do to see you happier than not, I'd do this in less than a second. If I could fill all the emptiness and loneliness you continually live with, I'd do this in less than a minute. If I had an opportunity to start over again, to tell you how very sorry I am for the difficulties and hardships between us, I'd do this in less than a second. If I could turn back the time and lengthen your days, I'd do this in less than a minute. If there was any possible way that I could have made you more comfortable and kept you from dying, I would have done this in less than a second. Now you're gone, but my memories hold on. Everything I have and all I'll remember, I'll frame each reason I loved you. I will cherish all those minutes and seconds. Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, and everyone else has the privilege of sharing those moments. Loneliness will be filled with your loved ones. You were an Angel on Earth and now a Guardian Angel in Heaven. Both worlds have been blessed with your presence. You won't have to suffer, and be scared anymore. Your sadness and pain has been lifted and healed. God raised you up with his comforting hands to care for you as you lovingly needed. Minutes To Seconds, Days to Weeks, and Months to Years, we'll never forget your existence. Thank you for staying as long as you could. Priceless will highlight your meaning.
