I am standing on the platform,
waiting for the peace train.
I have no baggage of any kind
but still I wait and will remain.
My mind is clear, my thoughts are pure,
In my heart I rest assured.
That I will go home to the ones I love,
In Heaven above.
Remember Me Fondly!
The way you remember me; I hope will be with joy, happiness and love. I hope you will smile, laugh and share stories. When my life is finished and I am gone; I hope to leave a bit of sunshine in the forest, gentle waves that splash the ocean shore, and a song of hope that fills you with warm and loving thoughts.
The way you remember me; when you look up at the sky and see beautiful clouds, I hope you will think of me! When a breeze passes by chilling you ever so lightly, maybe you will wonder if it was me. When I pass away and am here no more, I hope thoughts of me will brighten the darkest of days.
The way you remember me; hopefully is such that nothing will dim the love I had for you. When you hear laughter It’s then I pray; you will think of me.
The part of me I leave behind; I hope will bring love to your heart, a beautiful song for your thoughts, and a tingling to fill your soul. My wants and desires are that; no tears of sadness or regrets will fall, for when I leave this world behind, it’s the way you remember me that will be my legacy!

Asking breeze came diving entrance
For giving hope in joyful kindness
Lively mind not offering peaceful quietness
Ruining silent thoughts, uttered vain whispers
Xanthic year, zapping virus, hopeful days, why so late?

With the finish line coming into sight
Lives were changed by a flash of light
Hatred buried in a tormented heart
Ripped innocence and purity apart
At the end of a race ran so well
A challenge’s quest turned in to hell
Devices created to kill and maim
Achieved their ends on those not to blame
With chaos and confusion in the street
The heroes rallied and did not retreat
With fear and destruction as the terrorist’s goal
They will never thwart our compassionate soul
Tears were shed throughout the world
As caring eyes watched the scene unfurl
But in the end there was no terrorist gain
As “United Forever” is our vowed refrain
I pray for those who paid a hardy price
I hope thoughts and prayers someday suffice
Your unfortunate loss will be remembered by all
As justice upon the responsible fall
