A Mother's Prayer
Lord, today is Mother's Day, but my heart is split in two.
Half is with the child still here,
The other with the child that is now there with you.
All the lovely presents are a nice surprise,
But the one thing I want most is missing,
And tears fill my eyes.
I know when you sent him, Lord,
You didn't promise how long he would stay.
All you said was to love him and treasure each and every day.
But Lord, it crushed my heart when you called for his return.
I feel like half a Mom, as I ache, weep and yearn.
But Lord, tell him I love him just as much as I did before.
And could you please make a window,
so he can see through heaven's door ?
Let him see that he is missed and thought of with each breath.
And that a Mother's love begins before life, and does not end with death.
So, on this Mother's Day, the Greatest Gift, I give to you.
For Lord, I know you missed him and you loved him, too.

I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.
So sorry I'm Late! Please 4 give me!! Hope you had a grand Celebration!! Much love!! xoxoxoxoxoxx
Life is like a garden
And friendship like a flower,
That blooms and grows in beauty
With the sunshine and the shower.
And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care,
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship's flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship's flower will bloom for you.
