Behold The Sun | Beginning To End | ||
Winter began early this year | The start of a new year | ||
coldness gripped my very soul. | the dawn of a new millenium | ||
The snow muffles all the sound, | a time for new beginnings | ||
the cold quiet deafens me. | a slate wiped clean. | ||
Darkness comes early each day, | But shadows on the slate | ||
night is such a lonely time. | still show through | ||
Where noisy activity was the norm, | and the heart remembers | ||
silence echoes back at me. | bittersweet memories. | ||
But, faith, precarious as it is, | The old year still lingers | ||
keeps me strong and sure. | like the snow on the ground | ||
Someday the sun will return | the chill in my heart | ||
and gently warm us once again. | travels through to my soul. | ||
Light and warmth to renew us, | Listen... | ||
songs to revive our sleeping souls, | I hear drops falling | ||
voices that fill all the silence, | the sun melts some snow | ||
sunlight to brighten all our days. | I have hope for the spring. | ||

Mommy May I? | |
Mommy may I? | |
I hear a thousand times | |
Tell me one more story | |
and then some nursery rhymes. | |
Mom can I? | |
I hear a thousand more | |
"I'm going out to play now" | |
then the slamming of the door. | |
Mother can you? | |
It just goes on and on | |
"Drop me at the high school dance" | |
and then - POOF! - you're gone. | |
"Mom, I'm getting married." | |
"Mom, I have a son." | |
"Mom, we'll come to visit soon | |
when all our work is done." | |
The years pass oh so quickly | |
So before this all comes true | |
I think I'll stay here by your crib | |
and spend some time with you. | |

These candles burn in memory of Christine - my niece, my sister, my best friend. Rest in the arms of angels Chris, you will live in my heart forever. |
