Close your eyes my sleepy head its time to go to sleep.
Our love for you is vast… and very, very deep.
Angels and fairies are dancing with stars twinkling all around.
Comfort comes as mama holds them then gently lays them down.
A lullaby from mama will set the stage for baby’s sleep.
A soothing caress gently touches and crosses baby’s cheek.
Warm and so contented with a tummy full of love.
A quiet moment with mama as the sun sets from above.
Then the Sandman joins them, as the singing is sweet and slow.
A kiss for little baby and then the lights are turning low.
The eyes begin to close as nature takes its course.
Dreams will be of teddy bears, bunnies, and a little rocking horse.
But best of all they know that mama will keep them safe and warm.
And the world will be theirs again with mama in the morn.
Precious they are to mama with that resting, innocent face.
Happy with the knowledge that love is in this place.
Close your eyes my sleepy head its time to go to sleep.
Our love for you is vast… and very, very deep.
Angels and fairies are dancing with stars twinkling all around.
Comfort comes as mama holds them then gently lays them down.

Your mother from the beginning,
Your Father created her to be,
The most beautiful Rose in the Garden,
Chosen for You, and for me.
Her Conception was Immaculate,
No sin her soul would know,
A holy place prepared for You,
Within her womb to grow.
So, when the angel appeared to her,
Mary's heart had to believe,
That this child of whom he spoke,
The Son of God, she would conceive.
Mary's faith in God was strong,
She knew she had been blessed,
To behold His Love inside her womb,
Her answer must be 'yes'.
For nine months she carried You,
Faced many trials and snares,
With her gentle husband, Joseph,
Attending to all of her cares.
So, on that glorious night,
In a humble manger she gave birth,
Mary and Joseph wept with joy,
For God's Love had come to earth!

3/25/11 Feast of the Annunciation
When I sit here and wonder about my life
I wonder am I going to be a good wife
I wonder if I am going to be a good mom
I know I need to stay calm
Calm when he throws fits
smacks, bites and hits
Calm I know he cannot talk yet
Three is coming and love has kept
When I sit here and watch him grow
I know I got a lot to show
He has a form of austism and still goes to school and plays
We make memories each and all days
Calm as I whisper in his ear
I enjoy being mom each and every year
Calm when he cries and goes to sleep
All I know is my love he will keep.

Each day I see you smile
you make my life worthwhile
like all the stars in the sky above
you fill my heart
with so much love-
Everything you do
so special in every way
light, love, and laughter
fill our hearts and home
each and everyday-
To watch you grow and play
is such a joy to me
gives me so much pride
for this my lovely heart
I want you always by my side-
I hope you know I love you
my love will never end
for you are the greatest treasure
my God above did ever send.
Feeling forgotten in so many ways……
Friends to support me, I reach out for
The love he used to give me so freely
I wish he knew, how he breaks my heart
And fills it with love so completely
I tell him, yet he’s not listening
He cannot hear with the ipod in his ear…
His choices (he has made it very clear)
It’s like he is being driven by some outside force
Like a teenage “Driving Mrs. Daisy” of sorts
All I can do is love him, try to guide him in the right direction
And hope that his “Onstar” is on course
I’m still his mom til’ the end of his days
Feeling Forgotten in so many ways….
On a beautiful June morning a little boy was born.
Oh, how I loved him right from the start.
His eyes twinkling like the stars,
His heart as warm as the sun.
His gentle little cry brought tears to my eyes.
I knew all my dreams had come true,
I knew it from our very first touch.
Cuddly and soft, I’ve fallen for sure.
Being a mommy has brought so much pleasure.
My love for him cannot be measured.
He’s been my life for a year and a half now,
Watching him grow into a little boy has always been a joy.
Oh little boy your smile so bright,
You add great meaning to my life.
This love is true and never forget,
That mommy loves you with no regret.
By: Amber.
Hold your head high my Son
For this cut will heal, what’s done is done
As time follows on you will learn
There is much hurt, but love you’ll yearn
Gifted with the feeling of pain
Cursed by the effect, love will drive you insane
When the time comes, hold her dear
With you by her side, she’ll have nothing to fear
Such a tender heart beating inside you
I just know the skies above will never remain blue
I’ll be there ‘till the day I die
Helping you every step of the way, until you can fly
I will always do what you think is best
Comfort, in the knowledge you can do the rest
Unconditional is the love for my boy
I’ll never break your heart, just like your best toy.
Be the man I know you are
Learn from my mistakes, trust me you’ll go far
Sit by me and hold my hand
Don't you cry, my sweet little man
I'll wipe your tears and hold you tight
and tell you baby, it'll be alright
Cuddle up close, I'll tuck you in
Sing you a lullaby to slumber in
My blue eyed cherub, my hearts beat
Kiss your cheek and stroke your brow
watch over you, my precious,
Forever and now
My love for you always constant,
Will never wane
Hot as the sun, wet as the rain
My darling boy so fair and sweet
come sit by me, come take a seat
A loving hug, a special kiss
To hold you close is a mother's bliss
Little feet and little toes
The cutiest little button nose
A look that captures every part
Overwhelmed with love my beating heart.
These four walls are closing in as i sleep alone.
Then you bounce upon me and wake me from my dreams.
I stare at your face with love and pride,
realisation of what i have, fills my heart with joy.
My baby, my boy, my life, my son
stares at me, seeking answers to his questions.
What do I tell him?
When he asks where Lilliana has gone?
Tears come to my eyes, as hurt floods my heart.
I rustle up an answer, a mask of what is true.
But all I need to tell him is,
I really do love you!
When I woke up this morning,
I heard you calling out to me.
I realized I was dreaming
and that you couldn't be free.
I recall the day you where took from me,
just before you drove away.
I could still hear you saying,
Momma I will always love you.
As the Angel's dried my eyes,
I could see where the love lies.
A month or so has come and gone
since you left me here,
to face this world alone.
I never dreamed it would happen this way,
with you took away and put behind a wall of stone.
Look to the heavens with the sky so clear and blue,
and always know Momma loves you.
In my daughters eyes I see
Inspiration, Courage and Strength
In my son's eyes I see
Anger, Broken Hearted and Scared
Hold my hand my little ones
And look though my eyes and see what I see
Faith, Happiness, Hope, Love and Joy
These things you shall have
I believe in the both of you
I love you my sweet darlin's
And promise it will get better
Do my children know how much I love them?
No, of course they don't.
They weren't allowed to know.
Do they know how intense the pain is,
to go forward,
while not being allowed
to be their mom, or their dad?
No, but they know the intensity of heartbrokeness,
while going forward,
without their parents,
whom they should have never been taken away from.
They know the depths of lack,
that they were never meant to know...
They know the fears and the terror
that a "supposedly good place"
will unmercifully and maliciously inflict.
They knew the courage, as babes,
that grown-ass folk
won't walk in.
They know that you can't trust
the government,
or the agencies,
or the people in those agencies,
that are suppose to protect them
and their family units.
How could they possibly know
the depths of my love for them?
When they are still
stuck there
surrounded by people
who destroyed
their family
and screwed with their beginnings?
Lost, following darkness at an exaggerated speed.
Feeling helpless with an ever growing need.
Trying to catch your breath with a tremendous scare.
Its there, all you have to do is inhale the air.
Panic is an unwelcome, yet familiar friend.
Dear God, tell me this isn't the end.
He isn't even six weeks old and here he lays.
Death banging at the door, chased away by she who prays.
Thank you for competent nurses who love their job.
Thank you for that stranger to hug you while you violently sob.
I love you more every day that I see my son's bright smile.
You really never left me, you were there all the while.
I owe you my son's life and that broken piece of my heart.
Thank you for not taking him away and ripping me apart.
Dedicated to God......
I love you my son
you are my life
forever and always
as the days pass us by
I'm watching you grow
into such a great guy
that when I think of the time
and how it fly's
it makes me feel sad
brings a tear to my eye
I am so proud of you
and the young man you've become
never fear my son
you I will always praise
I'll protect you from harm
until the day I die
don't forget my son
I love you
as big as the sky
twenty one years ago
a great day I did know
you were born into this world
my little bundle of Joy
tiny little fingers and toes a tiny little boy
you grew up quite charming and quite handsome too
and there was choices you made that you didn't really want to do
but son always know that I always will Love you
money and matereal things are no importance to me
so please just be happy and be who you were meant to be
I will always help you if you get stuck
I'LL help you clean up if you fall in the muck
a mother will always do for her kids the best that she can do
no matter what you did I still love you.
if you need any help at all
just pick up that phone and give us a call.
I will always be there no matter what.
happy birthday Robert
