<BGSOUND SRC="https://www.angelfire.com/nm/Moonsinger/midi/IStillHaventFoundWhatImLookingFor.mid"> To My Mother, Ethel Lanham Wehrle

I guess I thought we'd always be together.
That you would live forever.
It was always like that song,
"You and me against the world."
It wasn't right, it wasn't wrong,
Just how our lives unfurled.

It was you and me, Mother,
And, of course, a dozen dogs and cats or so.
Strays I picked up from one place or another.
And you never said, "It can't stay, it'll have to go."
No, there was always room for one more lost babe.

I miss you so much.
Not a day goes by, I long for your touch.
To hear you laugh, see you smile,
To sit and reminisce for awhile.
You were the strongest person I ever knew.
Brave as a lion, soft as the dew.
I don't always believe in God,
But I always believe in you.

But God's been kind and generous to me.
For He gave me the best Mother that ever could be.
And when I shed this fleshy shroud,
I'll be with you, Mom, up in the clouds.
It may not be Heaven, of that I'm not clear.
But it will be Paradise, with you there, my dear.

And we'll eat hot fudge sundaes, and go to movies,
and take long drives, head to the beach, go shopping
for fabric and buttons, and I'll make you cookies and
brownies, and we'll promise to diet, and we'll walk arm
in arm in meadows of flowers and ferns, and chase
hummingbirds and bunnies, and take care of little lost
puppies and kittens.
And we'll be best friends once more.
And I'll be your little girl all over again.

All my love,

Sharon Faith

"Miss Me - But Let Me Go"

When I come to the end of the road
And when the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone
It's all apart of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go -

"Untitled"

When I am gone...release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears
Be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave to you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love each of you have shown
But now it's time that I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me if grieve you must
Then let your grief be confronted in trust
It's only for a short time that we must part
So cherish the moments locked within your heart.
I won't be far away for life does go on
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you, soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I'll be waiting to greet you with a smile,
and say "Welcome home".

Memories Of You

I remember everything about you,
your voice, you smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.

I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.

I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.

You are gone from me now,
but one they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days...
