A poem I found

I have not turned my back on you

So there’s no need to cry.

I’m watching you from Heaven,

Just beyond the morning sky.

I’ve seen you almost fall apart,

When you could barely stand.

I asked the Lord to comfort you,

And watched him take your hand.

He told me you were in more pain

Than I could ever be.

He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,

Then gave your hand to me.

Although you may not feel my touch,

Or see me by your side,

I’ve whispered that I loved you,

While I wiped each tear you’ve cried.

So please try not to ache for me,

We’ll meet again one day.

Beyond the dark and stormy sky,

A rainbow lights the way.

This is nice

Good job CD. He would be proud of you. And he don't care about that dang money!!! Don't feel bad, none of that kind of stuff matters now. Love ya, Mom

Here's the poem I wrote for Daddy...

There's a candle on the coffee table

I light it in memory of you

I stare at your picture and think of the good times

And try to pretend it's not true

Your hats are still hanging on the wall

Your slippers and nick nacks and things

They're all where you left them, but still one thing's missing

It's you, and it just seems so strange

To walk in the front door and not see you there

You're not in the kitchen, you're not anywhere

We can't sit and visit, we can't have a beer

All I can do now is deal with these tears

They roll down my cheek and I try not to show

Like you, I don't want anybody to know

I dry off my face and try to act strong

I don't want Baily to know something's wrong

She's still so little, you know how it is

If you're sad just act happy in front of the kids

But I can't act happy, I can't act okay

I miss you too much day after day

What should I do now, why are you gone

We don't know what happened, we don't know what went wrong

Just like Mamma and Stephen, it wasn't time yet

One thing that I promise I'll never forget

You was a good dad, you sure loved your kids

I think that my favorite thing that you did

Was coach in our ball games, we all had such fun

And it didn't matter if we lost or won

We were winners 'cause our dad was there

He cheered us on and we knew that he cared

We went camping and fishing and even garage sales

We mowed lawns, raked leaves and hammered some nails

One time you and I even won a contest

Of everyone there our dance was the best

But now it seems like I'm dancing alone

I sway to the music of a slow, sad tone

Just get through each day now that's all I can do

And one day I'll dance there

With Stephen, Mamma and you
