"FROM SHARON'S HEART"

~IN MEMORY OF ANDY~

~THIRTY YEARS~

Thirty years ago today
On a cold snowy winter day
You came into my life, my son
And changed my life in many ways

You taught me unconditional love
And what a mom should feel
You taught me compassion in many ways
The kind only the heart reveals

You taught me how to smile
When heartprints ruled my days
You taught me so much laughter
My love was endless in so many ways

I taught you, as you taught me
The years flew by too fast
And then God's Angels called you home
All I had left, was memories of the past.....

Today's your 30th birthday, Andy
And I sit here all alone
Wondering how you're spending yours
While I spend my at home

Thinking of the ones we had,
The double birthdays we once shared
I close my eyes and remember
It makes my eyes begin to tear

I remember when you were one
And I was twenty-seven
If I'd known then, in four years
God was calling you to Heaven.....

I'd held you even more tightly,
I'd have kissed you even more
And probably went to school with you
Each day you went out the door

I'd have tucked you in more tightly
I'd have read more stories at night
And had I known what life held
I'd never let you out of my sight

But none of us knows what life holds
Or what our future will be
God gave us five great years
I treasure those precious memories

Happy Birthday Andy
I love you with all my heart
One day again we will share this day
But for now, I'll share you in my heart
