TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER

MARILYN JOYCE STOCKERO

So many people wait to make tributes to

those they love until they have passed away.

I want to share with my mother my thoughts, my

love, my hopes, my dreams for her while she is

still with me.

We just found out she has terminal cancer with

little hope for a remission. I pray the Doctor is

wrong, and thank GOD she is strong enough and has

opt to try chemo any way.

I know in her heart she does not believe she has

much time left here with us. I wonder if this is

her insight that she has always had? Is it mom? I

on the other hand as well as my 4 other sibilings

are holding on with hopes that she will be here for

another few years.

The cancer is a fast growing cancer and spreads fast.

It is in her liver and her lungs. I can hear her weez now, and she gets tried quickly.

I spend my days off with her and my children. My

son who has special needs will be soooo lost with

out his gama when she leaves us. Well enough...

Mother here is my tribute to YOU!

It will be added to as time goes on.

You are my ROCK Mom and I LOVE YOU!

PRAYER

Oh Mamma, as I reach out to take your hand,

I pray to God he will help me to understand.

I am losing you slowly, through my fingers you slide,

But I know in my heart that God is our guide

Through my mind I see the wonderful times we have shared

I remember the good times that you created for all of us

Like Mrs Popengridle, my all time favorite.

Or doggy tricks for treats! Clever woman my mother!

But I know in my heart that your spirit will always lives on,

thou now it is trapped in a body that is now fighting cancer.

You face it so well, you have enabled me to face it head on too.

You are strong, your faith in GOD has helped us all.

I adore you, I admire you, but must of all

I LOVE YOU MOM

You Answered HIS Call

You showed me how to love

You shared your love with all

For you knew the answer you answered his call.

His light shone through you for all to see.

A witness for God, it is as it shoud be.

Though your life has now taken a turn,

So many lessons we all have to learn.

Compassion and love surrounding you,

The love of God still is there & true.

So even thou your dying, you continue to give,

The everlasting light from God so that others might live.

And as the angels surround you to prepare you to leave

I know they will help all so that we can help to

turn you over to our LORD

Thank you mom for the love you have shown,

for in your love I really have grown.

I know that once you leave this earth,

your spirit will be here to give me rebirth.

Thank you God for loaning her to us all.

You used her well to help answer the call.

and now...... I am giving her back to you.

Give her wings to soar so she may be free

and forever live with you in eternity

The Path

This walk we are taking gets harder everyday

The pain I cannot lessen, no matter what others say

I can talk to those who know and spend my time in prayer

I can tell my feelings to others as I share

But never will I understand why things are as they are

for each day that I am with you makes a it harder to know I have to let go

I am not the child that you once held so dear

now I am the mother with the deepest of fear

As I go to your side knowing full well

that now your life is as a living hell

I want only to comfort you and take it away

wipe out this time and begin a new day

Reach my hand back and stop the clock on the time

that we had

to never again have to see you so sad

I would cherish the moments we had in each day

holding them close and never afraid to say

I love you mom and I thank you for being

for all that you have done, for the chance to be seeing

a Fathers love through a mother so great

To be able to turn back the clock and begin with a new slate

But time marches on and we cannot ever return

We must deal with the present and continue to learn

As you cared for me, now, I will try to do for you

Hoping that all of my regrets will be few

As I show you that you are still of worth

The same mother inside which gave me birth

You taught me well how to show Gods love

I only hope that you feel its return from me and from God above!

I will hold you close as you once did for me

and tell you I love you until you see

that I am here always for you, just as you were for me

until that day when you are set free

LESSONS TAUGHT

As I was walking down life's

highway through out the years

these are items my mother instilled in me,

When I was young she taught me about angels.

That they are every where and always with me

Everything I ever needed to know she taught me

Second she taught me Patience, a must in life.

Love was another, but with that is unconditonal love

which is hard to learn, but she taught me well.

Understanding she bestowed upon me, she always

took time to understand me, and taught me to do

the same.

Wisdom a must, and this as I grew I learned

more of, she is a wise woman.

Faith in others and faith in the LORD

she should me how much faith she has

and I learned to have faith through her

Charity of course is good to have, we all

need to learn charity, how she cares for

others has taught me charity.

She taught me well about the Holy Ghost

and that it is all over the world and in

people's hearts.

To watch her in the toughest moments

I have learned Strength and Courage

I remembered I hearing about Grace,

and by watching this wonderful woman

I learned it very easily.

And then I there is Salvation for

Salvation was a must and she taught

me if I truly believed I would have

it when my time came. I know she has

well deserved hers, and HE will grant her,

As I got older I realized all of the

above she has taught me so easily and

it all is to serve our Masters will.

I remember as a child her putting me to

bed, and saying our Prayers together

this I have past on to my children.

A persious time at night I look forward to.

Peace and Joy were plentiful, in our home

there was always peace and joy.

Song and Praise were were easy to learn

which came so easily from living with such

a wonderful, loving, caring family, with two

parents who taught us all the important things in life.

IF TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorrow starts without me,

And I'm not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes

All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry

The way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,

We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

That an angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind

All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye

For all my life, I'd always thought,

I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,

So much left yet to do,

It seemed almost impossible,

That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,

The good ones and the bad,

I thought of all the love we shared,

And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,

Just even for a while,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you

And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,

That this could never be,

For emptiness and memories,

Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did,

My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,

From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,

And all I've promised you."

Today your life on earth is past,

But here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,

But today will always last,

And since each day's the same way

There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true.

Though there were times

You did some things

You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven

And now at last you're free.

So won't you come and take my hand

And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I'm right here, in your heart.
