life lessons

you may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.


Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.


Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The (woman)(man) I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.


I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

Friendship Joy

You are a shelter
From life’s frequent storm;
Like a comfortable blanket;
You keep me snug, safe and warm.


You’re a light in the window
When everything’s dark;
You’re a trip to the circus,
A picnic in the park.


Like a bright, sunny summer,
You are joy without end;
And I’m so very privileged
To call you my friend.

You are my hero

You are my hero, Dad
You're my secure foundation.
When I think of you, I'm filled with love
And fond appreciation.


You make me feel protected;
I'm sheltered by your care.
You're always my true friend;
When I need you, you're always there.


You have a place of honor
Deep within my heart.
You've been my superhero, Dad,
Right from the very start.

My Everything Friend

You magnify my happiness
When I am feeling glad;
You help to heal my injured heart
Whenever I am sad.


You’re such a pleasure in my life;
I hope that you can see
How meaningful your friendship is;
You’re a total joy to me.

Reaching Out

My heart is reaching out to you,
For what you’re going through;
I’m thinking of you frequently
And praying for you, too.


If there’s something I can do,
Anything at all,
Think of me thinking of you,
And don’t hesitate to call.

still here

Gone is the face we loved so dear,

Silent is the voice we loved to hear;

Too far away for sight or speech,

But not too far for thought to reach.

Sweet to remember him who once was here,

And who, though absent, is just as dear. xx

Don't Cry Anymore

Don't cry anymore tears for me,
I am at peace and finally free.
Like the eagles in the sky,
I am soaring, so please don't cry.

I know you love me,i love you too,
but my time was over,was finally through.
i have ascended to a better place,
Which is not confined by time or space.

To those that loved me, I did not fall;
Instead i succumbed to a higher call,
Do not mourn me, I am with you still,
I'll always be with you, from dawn----until.

HEARTS DONT BREAK!


THEY SAY THAT HEARTS DONT BREAK, GOD
BUT THATS NOT ALWAYS TRUE
THE DAY YOU TOOK OUR DAD AWAY
YOU BROKE OUR HEART,S IN TWO

LOOK AROUND YOUR GARDEN LORD
HE WONT BE HARD TO FIND
HE HAS EYES SO FULL OF LOVE
AND A HEART THATS GOOD AND KIND.

On The Wings of A Butterfly

your friendship is special
Like the flowers that bloom,
Or when a butterfly emerges
From within its cocoon...

You remind me of that butterfly,
Loving and free,
Bright and colorful,
For the world to see...

We will share sunshine and rainbows;
Sometimes, the rain and the snow;
We'll stand together through it,
While the cold winds blow...

When the time is right,
We won't stop to ask "Why?"
Our friendship will take flight
On the wings of a butterfly ...
