GOOD MEN MUST DIE, BUT DEATH CANNOT KILL THEIR NAMES
and memories a lane, I'd walk
right up to heaven and bring you
home again.
Gone yet not forgotten,
although we are apart,
your spirit lives within me,
forever in my heart.
" Our Son "
When we think of you in silence and often speak your name.
All that's left to answer is your picture in a frame.
We close our eyes and try to remember those words we hold so dear,
"I love you Mom and Dad" Oh how we wish and long to hear.
Our hearts are full of sadness, our eyes are full of tears,
As we think about the memories, that will have,
To hold us through the years.
We know you walk beside us and when our life is through,
We pray that God will take our hand and lead us straight to you.
So one day at a time is the way we will abide.
Until once again we will be walking side by side.
We Were Happy
We were happy once, together,
Then in an instant you were gone and the world changed...
The sun drifted behind a cloud and the heartache set in...
And the only thing that drives it away,
Is the memory of the time you were with us...
And the joy you left behind.
The moment that you died
My heart was torn in two,
One side filled with heartache,
The other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
And there you will remain.
"Never Be Forgotten"
I’ll always see your face,
The corner of your smile,
And all the little things that no one will ever know.
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away,
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say.
I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes,
And when I talk to you,
It just echoes in my mind;
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars,
I would look up tonight and know just where you are.
You will never be forgotten.
A million days could pass us by,
But what is time but just a dream?
Oh I still feel you here with me.
You’re more than just a memory.
Oh, you will never be forgotten.
And the world just keeps on going;
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone.
A Mother's love for her child is a gift from God.
You can't understand its depth and breadth-
and nobody else ever has it.
Maybe it's the result of a Mother knowing this child
9 months longer than anybody else.
Longer than anybody else on the face of the earth.
Longer than everybody, except God.

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke not a word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked for priceless treasure rare
Of a more lasting kind.
I prayed that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings fair,
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But that you'd know his loving care
I prayed the most of all.
My angel in the sky,
who comes to me in dreams at night.
You left me without a single word,
but when I close my eyes,
your voice is heard.
Telling me you'll be alright,
that you're not scared,
you're in the light.
And now whenever I need you near,
I close my eyes and you appear.
He's my angel in the sky,
who comes to me in dreams at night.
To let me know that he's alright,
he's with God,
he's in the light.
