Unconditional Hero

I want to tell you about two heros;
Who took me in, when my life hit zero.

You took me in, and gave me a home;
Cause you loved me, just like your own.

Even though you didn't have much;
I'm talking of money, not the love and such.

I had so much love at the end of the day;
It filled a hole that went many different ways.

I took a while for my heart to heal;
And there is a scar, it's part of the deal.

I gained a mother, father, sisters and brothers;
who gave me love, a love like no other.

Even though the times were rough;
We survived, cause our family is tough.

You were always there;
Even when I thought no one cared.

When mama died, my life hit zero;
Aunt Olethia, Uncle Bobby, you are both my hero.

But for now I'll dream of you, till I see you in heaven again;
But until I can hug you, my heart will not mend.

A Man Named Steve

The animals are crying for a man named Steve; 
It's just so hard for all to believe. 

That something so precious has been taken away; 
He impacted all life on earth in his short stay. 

But I believe his mission will go on; 
In his children's hands, they must be strong. 

I believe in his right to fight; 
Cause all God's creatures has a purpose in life. 

We must continue what he set out to do; 
So he can smile down, and won't feel so blue. 

Because he is watching from heaven above; 
Of the job we're doing in the name of love. 

As time goes by, my heart still breaks; 
For a man named Steve, we miss you mate!

Chain of Life

It's hard to believe how life can change;
As you and your love create a chain.

A chain so strong, but fragile in size;
And feeling the love from the one inside.

As it grows from the love we share;
It's hard to believe that a life is there.

So I don't understand how parents can kill;
A child you created, your blood that you spill.

A child so precious, so please be aware;
You can never get it back, so take great care.

So if you think there's no hope one day or night;
Please think twice about taking a life.

To think this action even crosses your mind;
Please get some help, it will all be fine.

Forever Selena

A life cut to soon;
Like a flower blooming at noon.

I listen to your songs everyday;
A voice so sweet, I have to say.

You were only 23;
But you mean't the world to me.

Even though you are gone;
I still cry for you to sing your songs.

We love you always Selena my dear;
We, your fans, every day of the year.

A Child's Love

It was my birthday when I first saw you;
You looked so happy, and I was too.

You went through so much pain for me;
And all the while I could see;
All the love you have for me.

Before God sent me to be with you;
He told me the special life I was due.

So I know what kind of person you are;
And I will try to live up to par, 

I know you've tried for so many years;
To have a baby to love so dear.

And I will love you every day and night;
My precious Mom, who gave me life.

True Love

When I first looked at you;
I knew it was a love long overdue.

I carried you for 9 months;
Waiting for the day that you would come.

As time went by, my tummy grew;
And all the while, I knew;

When that special day came;
I knew the pain would go away.

But the pain was there to say;
I had a precious baby coming my way.

I never really knew what real love was;
Until the day we met, I knew it was love.

Why?

I love you Mom, I wanted you to know;
It was not time for you to go.

You took your life on that October day;
Why did you want to go away?

When you left me to be with the Lord;
I cried so hard, till I could cry no more.

No one knew the trouble you felt;
Until it was too late, your fate had been dealt.

It's been 25 years since the day you left;
The one true void, I will never forget.

Now I have children of my own;
Why  did you leave me all alone?

Although your gone and we are apart;
Mom, you'll always be in the depths of my heart.

My Only Love

My only love, what can I say;
I never want you to go away.

I hope my heart is your only tenant;
That fills your soul, please listen a minute.

It took so long for me to find your love;
That I can't live without, like wings on a dove.

You make my heart fly so sky high;
It stills flutters when you walk by.

I didn't believe a love could be;
That you could love just only me.

Sometimes I watch you late at night;
As if you will vanish, right out of sight.

But every morning when I awake;
I see your smiling face, for God did not take.

Wendell, I love you with all of my soul;
Please never leave, cause my heart would be cold

Sister Love

It was Simon Le Bon who brought me to you;
For a love unconditional, that's all brand new.

I can't believe I'm so beloved;
From so far away, a sister to love;

Cause you love unconditionally true;
As a sister, friend, plus Simon too.

I hope one day we will be able to hug;
Instead of in a dream, a dream so loved.

I can tell you my every thought;
And you'll still love me, no matter what;

Even though we are miles apart;
I've never had  a sister so close to my heart.

You will always be so dear to me;
Jutta, my sister, you are my family.

A Love From God

I never thought the day would come;
I would have two precious boys instead of one.

Once I had my love for Dale;
My heart grew bigger, for Ryan as well.

The doctor once said I could not conceive;
But God had a different plan for you and me.

I can't believe the love I feel;
For a mom, it's all so real.

I've never had my heart so high;
With such a love, I can't deny.

So I thank God every day and night;
For a gift of love that is out of sight.

Dedicated to my boys, Dale and Ryan
