Oh' Sweet Mother of Mine

Where have you gone Sweet Mother Of Mine
To that Wonderful Sparkling City
Paved with Golden Streets
And Pearly Gates
Where You'll Shed No More Tears
And have No Fears
Oh' Sweet Mother Of Mine

Thru brilliant stars Your soul did fly
Across that Heavenly sky
To join the Heavenly Host of Angelical Beings
In search of that Ivory Coast
To plant Your Spiritual Feet
With Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour
Oh' Sweet Mother Of Mine

To visit with Loved Ones
Who've gone Home before You
Must be a Sweet Reunion Indeed
Just a few short days and I shall join You
From the Cradle to the Grave
Oh' Sweet Mother Of Mine

Our Daughter - Woman Extraordinary

From the moment You were born
We knew You were Special
Just had that Special Spark For Life
Daughter


You strove to be better than Your peers
From the earliest ages
You always learned from others mistakes
So You wouldn't have to go through the same ones too
Our Daughter - Woman Extraordinary

You're always trying to better Yourself
I'm sure You'll Succeed
In all of Your Endeavors
You've accomplished much more in Life
Than I ever saw for Myself
A Musician, Writer, Accountant and Wife
Our Daughter - Woman Extra Ordinar'
                   God Bless

My Illusive Butterfly

Where are you today
My Illusive Butterfly

Fluttering around 
Among beautiful flowers
Amid fluffy billowy clouds

Or perched on a 
Dainty stem of primrose
Or a nearby limb
Of a mighty Oak

Looking out at the world 
Through the multi eyes of
My Illusive Butterfly

Son

From the exact day your Daddy 
said we'd conceived You
Exactly nine months, to the day, 
we retrieved you

It is said You are so much like him
It's a wonder that I was even there

What is a "spitting image" do tell
Because I wouldn't want it 
in my mouth to begin with 

I thought Sons were supposed 
to look like their Daddy's
After all, they're born out of Love
Or did I miss something, somewhere
                   God Bless

My Love

Our Love was a young Love
That was said would never last
From 'Nam through Bush
We've stood the test of time

It may not be that hot, steamy, 
lustful Love we once shared
But it's a steady compassionate,
respectful, reverence we share

We're still crazy about each other
It's oh' so plain to see
By the way we bicker and fight
all too frequently

Shall we say, We've both gotten 
the better part of each others' lives
Thank Heaven for Miracles 
we've made it thus far

It still gives me a thrill to see 
that sparkle in his eye
From across a crowded room
He'll attempt to turn me on

I just hope he never loses 
that love and desire 
that he has for me
We're devoted to each other
It was our destiny

Lovers Forever

Come lay me down in the cool green grass
Speak sweet nothings to me over again

Tell me you still love me over and over again 
I need you more now than ever 
Don't ever let me go

Stay close to me for ever
Let's stay lover's forever and ever

It keeps our Hearts young and bold
Not to mention our bodies in shape
With this vigorous exercise routine

I've lost my rhythm and rhyme
For the night
So I guess it's time to turn in

Lost Love

As I sit here I wonder why, Why, My Lost Love Why couldn't it have worked Why My Love We each knew our Love for each other But knew what the consequences would have been So we went our separate ways Knowing full well, We'd never Be totally Satisfied Again Until We could be together Why Lost Love, Why Is there some meaning to this Madness I sit and Cry for You, My Love Knowing why I stayed in this situation, Does nothing to ease my pain I Miss You, My Lost Love You have forever been in my thoughts Love If there Is A God In Heaven, Surely, He'll Give Us Another Try My Love I try so hard to be strong, To show no signs of distress Yet, he knows something is wrong, Senses a change in me He's trying so hard, To make right the unjustly wrongs Lost Love Yet my thoughts and fantasies remain Around our times in each others embrace I only wish I could have told you again in person But I'm sure You already know There'll Never Be Another My Love, My Lost Love Is there supposed to be a grieving period I don't know, I only know I hurt, A deep Soul Hurting Like a part of me has died Love, Lost Love

Musings-Where Are You

I search in vain
I run here and yonder
Wondering how I have missed you
I wake myself crying
Many a night, sometimes
Remembering why, often times not

Is this madness, surely not
Is it just wishful dreaming
God wouldn't be so cruel.
Love was definitely there
It was mutual

Will I ever find you
Surely you can't be an illusion
I still imagine our times together
Were just yesterdays and 
One day will be our tomorrows

They say, Hind Sight is 20-20.
I wish, I would have listened 
To my Heart years ago.
I think there is a lot 
Of truth to that saying.

Maybe it's better to break 
A Heart when it's young.
It hardens harder, 
Makes it tough
Makes it stop caring so much.

Maybe I'll find you in my dreams,
We'll continue where we left off,
As it should have been and
Spend eternity making up for lost time.
As young as we were back then.

Be Grateful

Most people don't have love
Be Grateful you do

It could be gone in an instant
All in the blink of an eye

Stop wishing for what was
Be Grateful for what is

There are so many out there
Who have no one to share

Or have anyone who cares
Be Grateful for Your Love

And all the Love you share

Family and Friends

Where does the time go
Why do family members 
And friends have to leave us

Endless questions, I'm so tired
I want to go to sleep too

I remember so vividly as a child
Family members and friends
So clearly

Yet, as each day passes
Their images fade a little more
In my mind

My mother, daddy, aunts, uncles, 
Cousins, and friends
And endless sea of faces in 
Front of me

Wishing I could speak to them again
Wondering what they'd have to tell me

Knowing one day in the future,
Some of us will meet again
