My mom is a survivor,
I watch her lay awake at night
But like the sands on the beach
She wears a smile for others...
My mom tries to cope with death
As I watch over my surviving mom...
But I know that doesn't help her
For no matter what she says...
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I found that peace at the close of the day.
My life's been full, I savored much.
My Mom is a Survivor
or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night
when all others are in bed.
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.
a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door I see
tears flowing from her eyes.
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows
it is her way to survive.
through Heaven's open door.
I try to tell her that angels
protect me forever more.
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her..
And show her that you care.
no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart
that time won't heal!
I'm Free
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
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.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now; He set me free!
Dawn's Poem
There's something I must tell you
For those of you who want to know,
Now lonely days are all that's left,
You ask me why I smile no more,
When I'm sad and very quiet,
My heart and soul are heavy,
Last night while I was trying to sleep,
There is a time for everything,
We knew little that morning,
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You left us beautiful memories,
Our family chain is broken,
"A Beautiful Pearl Comes From a Sick Oyster"
It's been on my mind so long.
If you think I've gotten over this,
You couldn't be more wrong.
It was nineteen-ninety-seven
The Lord looked down and called her name
And took my child to heaven.
And a heart that just won't mend.
Not only did I lose my child,
I lost my dearest friend.
Why tears surround my eyes.
I tell you what you want to hear,
And live within my lies.
The pain and grief within my soul
Never seems to end.
If for a moment you see me smile,
It's just for you, my friend.
And seem to look away,
Don't ask me what I'm thinking,
You won't want me to say.
My life is all but gone,
A piece of me now missing,
You see, her name is Dawn.
You are here in my heart,
And my heart will go on.
You are safe in my heart,
And my heart will go on.
If a Spouse loses their partner, they are called Widow,
If a Child loses their parents, they are called Orphans,
If a Parent loses their child, there is no word for it,
The pain is too much for a single word.
Mom. Please Understand
My daughter's voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and I looked around
But she did not appear.
She said, "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand,
God didn't take me from you, Mom,
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within.
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you so and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must go on now.
Live one day at a time.
Just understand--
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand."
A Time For Everything
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time too uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and time for peace.
Ecclesiates 3: 1-8
Our Family Chain
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you Home.
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link once more.

May God grant you many years to live
For sure He must be knowing
The earth has angels all too few
And Heaven is overflowing.
Good times, Good friends,
Good health to you,
And the luck of the Irish
In all that you do!
