"In Loving Memory of my Mother, To be remembered Eternally" ~Vanessa Ward
Child Of God
|
Another child of God's died today with the help of God, it was her own way She kept her dignity, That's all she wanted beyond her illness, a smile she fronted At such a young age, six children she bare and from another six more to share Her heart so full of Love and care this woman God made was very rare The pain we feel with our Loved one gone If its only for our loss, then its wrong Cleansing our eyes, and relieving our pain makes saying good-bye, easier to gain When God says "Child come home with me pain and suffering will no more be" This woman I speak of, known as none other Then the Heavenly Angel, I call my Mother |

Childless
|
A childless woman I am no doubt the Love of a child I do without The pain I feel of growing alone the Joy of birth, I wish I'd known To count their birthdays one by one another day older, with each rising sun To see them crawl and then to walk to listen to gibberish, turn to talk To comfort them when they begin to cry not knowing for sure the reason why To help them through their very first date then comes the day they graduate To watch them grow, I will not see into Adults that they will be To watch them go, as they leave home into adventure of their own |

Another Summer
|
The warmth of Summer is coming soon the season we look for in the month of June Children are free from school once more the parks are full of kites that soar of different colors in the sky and cloud formations way up high The beaches are crowded as they can be and people visiting the Florida Key Some days will be unbearably hot and the comfort of coolness will be sought Shade trees used by one and all from the biggest of people, to the small Swimming pools filled to the top everywhere and all the children, not having a care Seems like nothing bothers a child at ten just like we were, way back then |

Mother
|
My Mom is dying, it won't be long At her young age, I feel it's wrong I pray to God, Why must this be the reasoning behind it, I can not see The days she has left, I need her to know the feeling inside of Loving her so She lives so far, I can't be there to show her how much i really care The thoughts of knowing her demise and unable to say my last good-byes Briefly I spoke with her today and did not know just what to say I heard in her voice how sick she is I know that God is soon taking, back what's his When I spoke to her, I made sure to say I'll Love you always, Forever and a day |

My Husband
|
Another day the sun comes up A day of Happiness fills my cup My Loving Husband at my side To him my secrets, I confide He gives me Love and cares for me Without him in my Life, I can not see I've known him now for thirty years And with him by me, I have no fears He comforts me when I am sad and settles me down when I am mad The Joy I feel when I awaken knowing my Love he has taken He always brings to me a smile when he holds me close for awhile All my Love to him I give Everyday, for him I Live |

You Have To Go
|
Why is life so hard to live you find that there's no more to give So giving up seems easier to do why should they care, it's only you Why live in a world full of pain when there is nothing else to gain Your feelings of loneliness, is way to strong you know this life for you is wrong You won't be missed, no one cared the pain you felt, no one shared If this is self-pity, its my strongest trait and it will be, what chooses my fate Pain is deep, it hurts me so not to much longer can I go What is so great about this life it cuts so deep, just like a knife Your Loved ones die and are taken away and for living wrong, it's the price I pay Let everyone know, that you love them so before that time, when you have to go |

Disagreement
|
When you and I do not agree and compromising we can not see Don't walk away, with pain in your Heart thinking that maybe we should part Our Love was deep, and still may be let's work it out and try to see Together we can see it through because our Love was always true We've grown together, throughout the years and brought each other through our fears We need to try and work things out we need to talk without a doubt Neither one of us wants, to take the blame of the present problem, and that's a shame Our Marriage Vows were not in vain I know that strength we can gain Let's hold each other and apologize and together watch a new sun rise |

Romance
|
The moon is shining, the stars are bright enjoy this beautiful, beautiful night The air is clean, the wind is blowing You can see the ocean, the white waves flowing The sand under my feet, just slightly wet, A night like this when we first met A night for romance in the air The Love inside for us to share Our hearts so strong beating as one Anyone else in sight, there is none Our Love is something very rare For you my Darling I truly care God put us together to share our Love It is given to us from Heaven above |

Alone
|
The pain you feel when you're all alone a feeling to me, that's very well known The thoughts in your mind, are not very clear as you feel on your cheek, that burning tear It eats you up, and tears you apart as you try to heal your broken heart We all have this feeling deep down inside although for some, they have denied The painful truth of what they feel and by themselves, they can not heal So ask the Lord for his healing hand and walk you through that burning sand To the end, where you can heal and the feeling of contentment you can feel He turns away no one, who has the Trust So open your heart, to him you must |

Angels
|
Angels shining, Angels bright into your life they bring delight The shining Halos on their head sinless souls they have led To the gates of Heaven up above full of sweetness, full of Love Beautiful wings that they have earned for teaching Love, that we have learned Our Souls to Heaven, the Angels lead for those of us who earned the deed The Angels sing their Glory song to let us know it won't be long For Christ to come once again to take with him those without Sin When Gods full plan has been done We will be taken one by one |

Beatable Sin
|
My tears are falling once again because of the evilness of sin It's all around, and hurts me so it hits me hard, will not let go It causes me such unbearable pain as it did in the days of Abel and Cain I need the strength of our sweet Lord to be without, I can't afford God gave his Son to protect me from sin that Satan tempts in all Earthly men He harms my Loved ones without care I try to get away, but he's everywhere There is a chance to defeat his way it works, when we kneel down and Pray God is stronger and he will win He will protect me from the sin I'll keep my Heart open, down to the core and I will make it to Heaven's door |

Anger
|
Anger is such a hurtful Emotion to some they make it their Devotion When anger strikes, so does pain and piece of mind, you never gain Some strike out with all their might and look for any reason to fight Some say things they later regret that comes out sounding like a threat Some say words that cut like a sword instead of praying to the Lord For strength to stop this sinful act and this you know, as a fact People get angry for no reason at all which is to God, our greatest fall When anger strikes, turn to the Lord for this Emotion, you can't afford |

The End
|
Ask for forgiveness before it's to late before you're standing at Heavens gate Will you be ready for that final call ask for it now, there's no time at all Our Lord made a promise he's coming soon this place we call Earth is heading for doom The millennium's bringing lots of change things are happening that's very strange In the life of every mortal man let God in your life while you can God decides when the time has come to send back to Earth his only son The time you see is drawing near and if you're ready, you have no fear |

Survival
|
To be a winner is to survive in life to oversee, all troubles and strife. The difficult hurdles, that get in your way can be overtaken when we kneel down and pray It seems at times there is no end and most of the time you just pretend You can not fool the wisest of all who will pick you up each time you fall He never forsakes you in time of need if you are blind, he will lead The Lord above will heal your pain and bring you in from the pouring rain Search deep in your heart for what is truth for what you learned in your youth |

My Loving Aunt
|
My wonderful Aunt, her name is Dot she's very sweet, and I Love her a lot When we were young, she took care of us and we as children, always gave her a fuss Her patience exceeded across the line I'm so lucky to have, an Aunt like mine She wasn't much older, but grew up fast and attention we needed, she got it last She did not complain, and a lot she gave even when we kids, did not behave She was always there, when we called on her and came to us, wherever we were I'm lucky by far, to know my Aunt to know my true feelings, I know you can't I must take this time, to say I Love you so and from my heart, I just wanted you to know |

Loving You
|
The day starts out with the morning dew and the reminder of my Loving you The happiness that God gave me for giving you, as my family The joy of Love, I will not miss when you give to me, that Loving kiss I Love you so, til death we part these Loving words came from my heart These important words that we must say at least just once, throughout the day It's just like air, that's needed to survive to keep us healthy, to keep us alive The day is over, turn off the light and hold each other, through the night The day starts over with the morning dew and the reminder of my Loving you. |

Feelings
|
Depression and fear live inside of me oh how i pray for myself to be free The pain that's in me, a continuous threat that causes me desires, I know I'd regret I try to live, each day without thoughts of the pain and suffering, that the day has brought I'm told to keep searching, that i will find the answers to questions, that boggle my mind The confusion found, that relief is missing the cry of my heart, is anyone listening An understanding, of the way i feel just how this pain is so undeniably real So another day, as i awaken The words i pray, let me not be forsaken |

Fall
|
The wind is blowing very fast I wonder how long this gust will last The leaves are falling, the trees are swaying The rain is coming, the birds stopped laying Fall is here as you can see for the next three months, this will be Leaves have turned to glistening gold The weather has become a little cold Put away your shorts, bring out your coats the time has come to dock your boats Snow in some places will be falling soon and in the clear sky, you can see the moon Kids will be looking forward to school as they remember the Golden Rule Fall is a beautiful time of the year and yes we know, it is here |

Friendship
|
Friendship is something not to take lightly The comfort you feel, like the sun shining brightly A friend is there in time of need if you are lost, they will lead If you have fears too hard to bare just look around, your friend is there If you're hurting inside, there is a cure just call a friend, whose Love is pure If tears come down, like falling rain because your Heart feels, so much pain Look around and you will see the one I call friend, there beside me Cherish your friends, for they are few and you will see, they cherish you too The friends I have, I thank with Love and pray for gifts, from God above |

The Rain
|
Lightening bolts, thunder clatter rain coming down, pitter patter Black clouds in the sky is all you see the strong wind blowing around debris The storm predicted, will be coming soon weather unusual, for the month of June The people are listening to the forecast wondering how long this storm will last The rains we're getting, we definitely need for the crops to grow, from the planted seed The flowers will bloom, the smell so sweet and we'll be nourished, from the fields of wheat When the storm is over, the sky will be blue and when we look up. glistening stars we'll see too Without the rains, we would not survive for the world that we live in, would not revive |

Will's Harley
|
The freedom I feel on this Harley of mine makes the feeling of life so divine My leather boots and leather coat and all my gear that I tote This Harley of mine is Hell on wheels if you own one, you know how it feels Veroom veroom, the noise it makes a little throttle is all it takes Rev up the engine, shift those gears get out of the way, plug those ears It takes me anywhere, I want to go believe it or not, it is not slow The winding roads, the country air get on the back if you dare My Harley Davidson that I own will never make me feel alone |
