I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found the peace, at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ay yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times and Chuck's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now;He set me free.

I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when my life is done.

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together....there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.....I'll always be with you.

A mother is more than a memory.
She is a living presence. Your mother is
always with you.
She's the whisper of the leaves as you
walk down the street, she's the smell of
certain foods you remember, flowers you
pick and perfume that she wore, she's the
cool hand on your brow when you're not
feeling well, she's your breath in the air
on a cold winters day. She is the sound of
the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is your birthday morning.
Your mother lives inside your laughter.
And she's crystallized in every tear drop.
A mother shows every emotion.....
happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love,
hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow.....and all the while hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life.
She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space........not even death.

------------
I still see your face before me
Your voice I long to hear...
I miss and love you dearly,
God knows, I wish, you were here.
Tears fall freely from my eyes,
like a river, filled with grief.
My only comfort now, is that,
From pain, you've found relief.
Missing You.
Unknown
----------
I thought of you today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and,
your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake
from which I'll never part.
God has you in His arms,
I have you in my heart.
