I Love You Mother

Mothers smile will always shine,
In the pictures in my mind.
I've heard your laughter and shared your tears.
We walked together throughout the years.
Your silken hands upon my face.
Your tender heart and warm embrace.
Lifting me up when things were down.
My best friend without a doubt.

I will never forget the day.
Your savior called and took you away.
My heart so heavy my pain so great.
Such a loss.....no way to replace.
I miss you so much the hurt is so real.
I miss your scent and your feel.
I need you mother to hold my hand.
I need you mother, OH SO BAD.

Life can never be the same.
Without you mother, I fear the change.
Your strength and guidance put me straight.
Each day was a blessing.
So full of your grace.
I'll miss you forever my loving mother.
Can't wait for the day we get back together.

The Question

When my time has come to pass,
There is a question I must ask,

Will you remember me at all,
In the days after I'm gone?

My scent may linger in the air,
Maybe a certain style of hair.

My nose or eyes, perhaps my chin,
Did I say something to make you grin?

Will you miss my touch or my hugs,
When you think of me will you feel love?

Will you tell your children how excited I was,
The first time I held them close in my arms?

Tell them about the beauty I've seen,
When their eyes twinkled at me.

Some times were hard and not so nice,
I'll bet you wished for another life.

Did I touch your heart, soul or mind,
Is there a mark I've left behind?

Again I ask so earnestly,
Will you, my child, remember me?

Silent Death

Darkness surrounds me, engulfing my face.
Cold and unfeeling, heart starts to race.
Fear so intense, hands start to shake.
Legs begin bending as if they would break.
Looking around but nothing to see.
Charging the soul, given to me.
Controlling my breath, wont let me be.
The weight so unyeilding, I wanted to scream.
Nothing erupted, could not make a sound.
Feeling so helpless, unstable ground.
The shadow of death has taken a stand.
No longer waiting but grabbing my hand.
Life force diminished, no longer exists.
There'll be no more grieving, just heavenly bliss.

The Light

Inside my mind where sorrow lies, misery follows, depression binds.

Blackness has deepened the wounds in my soul, unleashing memories of things untold.

Cutting so sharply, the past wide awake, longing for mercy, feeling such pain.

Unanswered riddles rattle inside, clatters so loudly, begging for quiet.

The road so narrow the path unmarked, lost in the fortress people call life.

Hope nonexsistant, cheer is at bay, how long will it take to all go away.

Feeling so helpless, fearful and cold, crying for something to have and to hold.

Lonely and lost the war of my time, the battle of reason raging inside.

Lost is the child alone in the night, left in darkness to find the light.
