I Think Of You
I see your face each morning in the sunrise
When the warming rays come streaming down on me;
I feel all your warmth with those golden drops of light
And I see you just the way you used to be.
I feel your touch each time the wind is blowing
It soothes me when I know it comes from you;
I could ride the wind forever, forever and a day
Cause I feel your touch in everything I do.
I see your lovely face upon the flowers
And I feel your love in every drop of rain;
And though the grass is growing, now, between us
Those thoughts of you will take away the pain.
Lord only knows how much I'd love to tell you
How very much I loved your tender ways;
But when I look around me, I see you everywhere
And I know that you'll be with me all my days.
It seems like only yesterday you held me
Within your tender, loving, mother arms;
And now each time I see a thing of beauty
It reminds me of your everlasting charm.
So when the wind is blowing, or rain comes tumbling down
Or when I see a flower full in bloom;
I will always feel you with me, and hear your loving voice
As if you're right here with me, in this room.
To say goodbye would never make me happy
Cause I love you more than words can ever say;
So I go through life and think of you each moment
And I know that we will meet again someday.
"I Think Of You"

This is my page of Memories of my precious Mother. I miss you so!
Don't Mourn For Me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, I'm everyplace!

This page is dedicated to my Mother, a lady of legendary beauty and a heart of gold.
Here is a picture of my mother, my daughter and myself.
My Goodbye to my darling Mother,
I know God will send you an Angel
to guide you on your journey to Heaven.
I know this because you were truly
one of God's angels on this earth.
All our lives you were sweet and kind and loving. Yours was a precious Mother's love,
always trying to smooth our way,
ease our hurts and fears.
I can never remember you being angry
or punishing us as children.
I can remember only kindness and sweetness
and making us know we were loved.
Yet somehow you raised four children
who you could be proud of.
Our two brothers have gone on ahead of you
and so has your beloved Manuel.
They are all waiting for you
in Heaven I'm sure.
My most precious and treasured memory
is of your clear beautiful voice
singing to me " Whispering, whispering,
softly that I love you"
Even today I can hear that melody
in my head and recall how you sang
that to me as a lullaby.
Your body has left us, but your spirit
lives on and you will forever
live in my memory.
And so long as you are remembered
by me and sister, Marilyn Kay and
your grand-daughters, Linnie,
Debbie, Diane, Sammie, Donna,
Tonya, Ginger and Amanda and
your grandsons, Aubrey Leonard,
Jeffrey Wayne,
Wyatt Leslie, and Robert Sheldon 11 (Bobby)
your memory will live on.
We all loved you and I promice you
I will keep your memory alive
til the longest day I live.
You will never be forgotten
or out of my heart and mind and thoughts.
I will carry your memory with me forever,
my darling Mother.
I miss you so!
With all my heart, Dereth
I Love You, my precious Mother.
Dedicated to my Mother.
The words of this song by Lady Viperhawk
for her mother has touched my heart.
The words of this song will live
forever in my heart.
FOR MAMA - Her Song
Mama, how I love to hear that name I know so well and true.
I wonder if you remember when time just seemed to fly on by.
The sweetest gift you ever gave me were your tender loving eyes.
How I remember the good old days singing songs straight from the heart.
There were times when I would go off key but you would smile from the start.
I remember all the laughter you shared when times got rough,
But most of all I remember Mama all the love that brought me up.
And Mama, can't you remember when everything was fresh and new.
Springtime brought the pretty flowers but only you could make them bloom,
And when I think of roses red, I always think of you.
How I remember the good old days playing hopscotch on the lane.
There were times when I would stumble but you would say to try again.
I'll remember all the laughter you shared when times got rough,
But most of all, I'll remember, Mama, all the love that brought me up.
~ A Rose Once Grew ~
A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall....
One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side
Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
Its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
