WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

My oldest son is getting married soon,

He picked the day for July not June,

Another new member to the family,

I welcome with love his wife to be,

My little one, soon to be a handsome groom,

I sense that I'll be Gammy again, real soon.

                           BEAUTIFUL ANGEL

Free Image Hosting

                     

Your one of the beautiful angels,
He wanted you back one day.
He sent you here,
to light up this earth.
And to show your whole family,
what life is worth.
You showed me that life,
could be a wonderful thing.
You told me what I should do,
and what it would bring.
I'll miss you while you're gone,
you'll never leave my heart.
And from now until I see you,
I promise, you're missed when we're
apart.

                                BEAUTY EVERYWHERE

Brand new day, the birds are singing,

Warm fuzzy feeling,the sun is bringing,

Flowers bloomed fron the night before,

Signs of Spring are knocking at the door,

Little bird's nests,full with hungry chicks,

Waiting for mommy,with worms she picks.

Feeling the magic of Spring in the air,

Feel the glow without a worry or a care.

                             OUT IN THE FIELDS

Free Image Hosting

                     

When I was a young girl
We used to play
Out in the field
Of flowers all day
There were roses and daisies
And lilies too
We used to trade them
Saying from me to you

At lunch time we'd have
A picnic in the field
We'd go get the basket
And eat a good meal
There were muffins and chocolates
And berries too
We would even get
A cookie or too

Oh the life of the young ones
Was such a beautiful phase
We would look at the field
and happily gaze

                            THE MUSIC IN MY HEART

Free Image Hosting
 

My Mom is gone, she is up in heavens splendor,

I'll be with her someday, with her love so tender,

She is the music that plays so brilliant in my soul,

When her time came, I begged, please don't go,

She will always be the soft music, I hear in my heart,

I know that she loves me, but it was her time to part.

                               IN THE AFTERGLOW

Free Image Hosting

                     

A whisper soft  in the night,

Quickly I turned on my light,

Looked around, nothing there,

Just empty space and empty air,

I felt a presence, who could it be,

I know it's someone dear to me,

I hear a gentle whisper in my ear,

Grab my hand dear, feel no fear,

I'm not ready, please let me go,

I'll see you again, in the afterglow.

                                PEACE ON EARTH

Free Image Hosting

                     

A  song in my heart, it won't go away..

I hear it's melody, urging my body to sway,

I feel the passion. it burns in  my soul,

I'm coming alive as I hear the drums roll,

Music and lyrics, the sounds so intense,

Remind me of love, candles and incense,

Take me away to the depths of my soul,

Peace on earth.. is my message, my  goal.

                                FORGOTTEN

Free Image Hosting
     

This lonely cello in a forgotten place,

Packed away to save precious space,

Longing to play a soft haunting tune,

Forgotten and broken way too soon,

Calling to the player to rosin the bow,

Wanting to soothe it's broken soul,

Music is the only language it knows,

Alone in the attic, where cobwebs grow.

                               SAID MY GOODBYES

Free Image Hosting
    

I'll walk this path alone, to my dreams I'm lead,

Dreams of rainbows, balloons, and bows of red,

I've turned my back on times of sorrow,

Walking to a bright unknown tomorrow,

I'll reach my goal and touch the sky,

Turned my back, said my goodbyes.
