Day by day I look to see
What the Lord has in store for me
There must be something special
given, or seen in just me
My one wish, two wonders of the
world
One boy, and one girl. Some of you
are the luckiest. I'd give them two
my all, heart and soul, make them
my complete and total world.
A mother ent to be to a total of
three. Three times the pain, three
times the lost which makes me no
mother at all. Day by day I look to
see what special little thing. The
Lord planned just for me.
My favourite holiday was just a day long,
I spent it on top of a mountain.
I reached the summit where I sat and watched the sky,
hours passed the clouds drifting by.
I thought of you and i knew your watching me,
occasionally a person passes by,
but I could sit here until the day i die,
But instead i head back down feeling your presence fade, the distance between us growing.
But to me them few hours will always be a little holiday,
that i can return to everyday.
Not a day goes by that i dont think of you,
what you had to do people will never understand,
when you slipped from this life in my arms,
part of me died with you that day.
I remember before you left, you told me that you would always watch over me.
I know you do, i feel your presence all around me,
I marked my body for life, in your memory,
I know you've seen that tattoo and i'm sure it made you smile,
we had some fun times together but we were torn apart far to early,
we were like brothers and this bond can't be broken.
I remember nights in the hospital when you were ill,
you still mannaged a smile even when things were bad,
there's a hole in this world now your gone,
but it will never be as big as the one in my soul.
One day we will be together again,
raising havoc amongst the clouds,
on that day i will feel whole once again,
and ill tell you all the things ive not been able to share.
So untill that day my freind just know i think of you.
Garden of my mind
I heard our car pull in the driveway,
I heard your footsteps on the stairs.
You took my hand across the table,
As we bowed our heads in prayer.
Today we sat out on the porch swing,
Enjoyed the cool and gentle breeze.
As we glazed at yonder hillside,
Viewing brightly colored leaves.
For some time we talked together,
Of the things we both hold dear.
Of Kids and Grand Kids living around us,
As we did in bygone years.
All day we walked and talked and laughed,
As in another day and time.
And each day we'll be together,
In the garden of my mind.
Today is your birthday, March 31.
I wish I didn't feel that this date was cursed.
Its been almost eleven years since you've moved on.
I've missed you so much, since you've been gone.
I'm so sorry for everything, you know what I mean.
But I didn't know how to handle it, I was only sixteen.
I wonder how different life would be if you were still here.
I want to know what it would be like to go out with you and get a beer.
I am not good at letting out my emotions, I just carry on this repression.
But its my actions, not yours, that are causing my depression.
Today is a day we are supposed to celebrate.
Today I will remember what it was that made you great.
I just wanted to let you know,
that I am still happy to call you my bro.
Before this day comes to a close.
I will give you a present, on your grave, I'll leave a rose.
I Miss You.
The day befrore Mother's Day in 1983
My daddy my mama my sister and me
Were on our way into town to buy a gift for mom
Little did we know this day the Lord for us would come
One minute I was in the car as happy as could be
Then I woke up soon after that with Jesus holding me
My mama was the only one the Lord allowed to live
He didn't take her home because she had so much to give
It was a senseless accident we didn't have to die
The family we left behind just wanted to know why
But as the Lord says in His word His will must be done
He also promises us one day we all will live as one
I can't begin to tell you what it's like up here
Since we came we have not seen one person shed a tear
The Lord has given each of us a special job to do
Daddy, me and Kristen are watching over you
This message comes straight from my heart
Please don't drink and drive
If that man had used good judgement we would be alive
But please be comforted by this
We are all ok and we're waiting here to welcome you
On that great reunion day
In Loving Memory of Bill, Karen and Kristen McKellar
In Honor of Joan McKellar Caraway
My Dearest Brother
You know I Love You like no other…
When I woke up today
In my mind these thoughts played…
Since you’ve been taken away
I’ve searched for the right words to say
How much I miss you… everyday…
Even though it’s been a while
Each time I hear your voice my heart smiles…
Thank you for the birthday wishes
I send you this note with a thousand kisses…
I’ve wanted to protect you
Since you were knee high… and each day you grew
The right way to do this; I never knew
The choices you’d make; I could not undo…
I remember the days when together we played
When on my shoulder your head laid
How I wish your pain would fade
How I wish I could take it all away…
While you’re locked away in that cell
I Pray each night you’re not living in hell
I Pray for God to keep you well
I Pray for the day when to your face I can tell
I love you brother
I love you like no other…

COLD AS ICE
by BENNY WILLMORE
I feel like a beast locked up in a cage. My blood full of anger, my veins full of rage. An outcast of
society, an outlaw by trade. Drugs before debt are the only things paid.
My heart is filled with sorrow, my emotions with pain. If I ever released my thoughts, tears
would fall like rain. My dreams replaced with nightmares, stress has taken its toll. My body
aches with fire, the drugs are stealing my soul.
They have taken everything, all I love the most. I now have nothing. I am living with ghosts. I
leper of society because of my crime. A supplier of drugs, my search is all the time.
Confusion is my middle name, depression is my first. All I want, I can't have. Love and respect
is all I thirst. Myself is who I talk to. Shadows are who I fight. My head won't stop spinning,
every day is one long night.
Inside myself, my thoughts have turned so cold. My happiness turned to fear, speed had made
me old.
So, I ask myself, "Can I see my past?" Every day gone by has vanished way to fast. I try but I
can't remember, my memories don't seem to last. I lose every thing that I put within my
grasp.

Freedom to write
Is our true might
A way for pain
To begin to wane
My fingers are light
They are only too willing
To release the thoughts
Which my mind finds so filling
With me truth has been said
To be most often my stead
I will put none other before it
Until the day that I wed
Confusing to some, although this poem may be
More so, inspiration to others that I may see
A day shall pass, a day close by
That I may bear witness and testify
While we live a life of ease
Surrounded by many unfortunate, who die of disease
Oblivious is our utopia, in final sum
Pity us all, for we have made it our outcome.......
I've wondered about this day, how naked this earth would feel
missing all the beauty that your life came to reveal..
i've wondered about this day; and our days apart just seem to grow
what your mother must have felt, 20 years ago...
I've wondered about this day, and how I denied it'd ever come
How many people here are missing you..so much it makes me numb
today is your birthday, there should be 20 candles on a cake..
I've wondered about this day; your absence is keeping me awake..
I've wondered about this day, do we celebrate or mourn?
this day is like a rose. and every rose has it's thorn..
I've wondered about this day, a day that's just for you
Today is your birthday, and today I honor you.
santo was his little brother
who always wore a smile
he went back home to mexico
what was supposed to be
for just a little while
then one day not long ago
we got the sad sad news
a woman driver
tore delfino,s family in two
he,ll never again be with his family
we,ll never again see him smile
cause santo,s up in heaven
no more on this earth to face trials
one day if we are lucky
we,ll see him again we pray
but here on earth we,re left behind
we,ll never be the same
HAVE YOU EVER LOVED A PERSON
WHO ALWAYS SAYS ON YOUR MIND ?
TODAY I FOUND MYSELF THINKING
OF THE ONE I LEFT BEHIDE..
I NEVER THOUGHT WE'D GO FAR
OR OUR LOVE WOULD EVER LAST
AND NOW I CANT HELP BUT THINK
OF THIS PERSON FROM MY PAST.
HER SWEET SMILE WAS SO HEAVENLY
AND ALWAYS MELTED MY HEART.
AND EYES THAT WHERE SO BEAUTIFUL
THEY COULD REPLACE ALL THE STARS.
A VOICE THAT CAME FROM THE HEAVENS
SO VERY SOFT AND SO SO SWEET,
THAT JUST MELTED MY HEART
AND MADE IT SKIP A BEAT.
A TOUCH SO SOFT AND GENTLY
A VERY WARM LOVING EMBRACE
WITH THE HEART OF AN ANGEL
AND A TENDER FLAWLESS FACE
AND THE FIRST TIME THAT SHE KISSED ME
I DID ALL I COULD NOT TO CRY
THE JOY AND HAPPIENESS I FELT
JUST DROVE ME OUT OF MY MIND.
IVE NEVER FELT A KISS SO SWEET
YET SO VERY STRONG
I COULD KISS THIS LITTLE ANGEL
EVERY DAY AND ALL NITE LONG.
SO IF YOU EVER FIND YOUR ANGEL
PLEASE DONT EVER LET HER GO
OR YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WONDERING
EVERY DAY AS YOU GROW OLD.
THAT IF YOUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE
OR WAS IT JUST A THING
BUT IF I COULD TRUN BACK TIME
I GIVE HER MY HIGH SCHOOL RING.....
The day is young he said to me
Lead the life you live and be free
So I lived in that day
The world embraced me with warm and open arms
That day was young and well lived
Once that day was over
I then asked him
Now that this day is done
What was I to learn from it
The day is a memory
He said to me
To hold forever in your heart
You have learned that
In the passing of something great
Though you’ll be saddened by the loss
You will always have the warm memory in your heart
So the day may be young and will be over soon
Make the most of it and don’t regret
There is nothing to loose
If I had just one day left to live
Wisdom I'd share to my children I'd give
Just for a while we would sit down and talk
A last sitting for us all, before my soul walks
We would talk of our past remembering all the times we have shared
Look to your future for my last day I'm prepared
For a couple of hours my favourite films I would watch
The Shawshank and Private Ryan, with a Jack Daniels no Scotch
With the hours, minutes and seconds ticking by
My eyes will soon close and I'll say my goodbye's
I'll miss all of nature and the warmth of the sun
But most of all my children, my daughter and three sons
The evening now draws as I look back on my years
What little light I see goes, now the blackness appears
On that day, I miss that day.
Because that day helped me see your pain.
Your hate, your anger, your sadness and also your love.
If only I could help, but my help you don’t want.
Because it brings you pain and memory of that day.
That very day I miss, the day you hate.
You have to remember that day?
Because that was the day!
The day you hate.
If you don’t want to remember
I’ll help you to remember
Because it was that day you spit on me.
