To Blossom

To blossom in my soul like a flower
To feel my heart sing in the midnight hour
The revel in the blessings of sunshine above
That's what you gave to me with your love

To reach inside my strength and grow
Touching the places I did not know
Feeling the smile upon my face
That's what I felt in your embrace

Two souls embraced with open hearts
Together forever we never part
With you soul's grace I walk in the mist
Knowing that I am forever kissed

The path

The path of your life was a struggle
Though you were full of compassion and kind
You were fighting the demons that I could not see
That lived in your body and mind

When from this earth you departed
I thought you were walking away
And I really could not understand it
Because I know how much of you stayed

The I realized something inside me
Though our paths are so different now
Sometimes you are walking beside me
Explain it, I don't know quite how

My path on earth is a winding road
Sometimes rocky and sometimes it's steep
But your love, you heart and your angel wings
Whisper soft words whenever I sleep

Those soft words give me guiding light
When my eyes can just barely see
And the give me the strength to continue to walk
In the places that I'm meant to be

I am meant to go on and walk on this path
And to see the sunshine above
And you walk beside me with sweet angel wings
Enfolding me ever with love

A Day in the life

I awake in the morning
Awash in the dawning sunlight
When you are so far away
It helps me think of your delight

I wake my son for morning
Feeding cats and morning showers
The we head to work and school
We will be there for hours

At work I often think of you
That smile upon your face
The teasing way you had with me
The warmth of your embrace

We worked together seamlessly
Our two became as one
And each day I worked with you
You were my morning sun

Then when I am done at work
And the day is past
I come home to my son again
Some writing time at last

I share my walk with other friends
Who've lost a loved one too
It helps because they understand
How much I still miss you

I write some more then hug my son
Then I head off to bed
It helps me sleep having thoughts of you
Snuggling inside my head

I sleep because you are with me
you keep me safe and sound
I rise again another day
And with your love surround

A little of me


A child of the sixties
Nineteen sixty three
Just finding now
The angel in me

Lost in a world
Sometimes so black
Fighting the fog
I made it back

Raising a son
All on my own
Smiling at him
Now almost grown

Finding a soul mate
One kindred heart
And then too soon
He did depart

But with his love
My path is set
Memories sweet
Never forget

Smiling with friends
Laugh with my son
Love is the joy
When day is done

Now with an angel
I share my life
Laughter and loving
Trouble and strife

Share with the heavens
Words I will write
And he shares with me
His guiding light
