Winter

Mommy's Angel In Heaven — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 03:06:18 +0000

Winter has arrived
bringing its fury;
It’s cold, it’s wet
the snow is our blanket

Winter is so dreary,
it brings about sadness;
The sadness no one wants
yet it comes any way

Winter can be and
almost always is depressing;
It’s hard to get through
when there are so many bleak days ahead

Winter seems like
it will never end;
The days merge
one into another

Yet one day, the single
piece of grass pops through;
The green against the white
is quite a sight to behold

Spring is coming,
she shows her first sign;
She brings us new hope,
she brings us new life

Spring brings a renewed
sense of wonder in the air;
What will she be able
to truly bring?

Spring is where
new life takes root;
It shows us the beauty
and awe of things to come

Winter is finally leaving
along with the deep ache;
Spring is quickly coming bringing
about contentment and uncertain joy

Spring has brought with it
the sun’s ever radiant heat;
She melts away the snow
to show the true beauty within

Spring

To The Love Of My Life – married 15 years February 18

Mommy's Angel In Heaven — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:53:45 +0000

To the man I love
You are my partner, my friend
You are the one I choose
to not live my life without

You have become my everything
I don’t know exactly when this happened
But you are why I am here today

You have shown me
what patience looks like
You have shown me what true
unconditional love really is
You have shown me that God
really does work in mysterious ways

Mari is gone and you are here
We are here
We are there for each other
in both the good days and the bad
When trouble comes you have been my rock,
my foundation which I stand

You have shown me faith
like no other could have
When we were at our lowest
you still turned to God
When most others would have
turned the other way

This is the picture of true love
Thank you for showing me
how to love like no other could have

On this earth we don’t know
when our time is up;
when it is our time
to go see the Lord

On this earth our time together
will seem like it can last forever
God only knows how long
this will truly be

The reality is no matter if we both live until tomorrow
or for another 50 years,
it is only a blink of an eye for God
The only thing we have is
eternity together beside our Lord

I can honestly say I would not
want it any other way
I love you Keith
I love you

Today…

Today is a day I have been dreading
Today is a day that sucks
Today is a day that I wish had never come
Today is just hard
Today is just painful
Today makes me think too much
Today makes me relive the past

I wish I could go back somehow
I wish I could go back any way possible
I wish there was a time machine to take me back
I wish there was a way
I just simply wish

Today is a day that makes me sad
Today is a day that makes me cry
Today is a day that brings deep sorrow
Today is a day that has no joy
Today is the day most of us have been dreading

What is today you may ask
Today is Thanksgiving without our beautiful Mari
Today is a day that was not ever supposed to happen without her
Yet here we are today anyway
Without any choice
Without any say in the matter

Time just kept moving forward
Time just keeps ticking
Time can be your friend
Time can be your enemy
I wish time would just take me back to where I was on July 1 and she never got sick

We love her so much
We miss her so much
We care for her so much
We adore her so much
We admire her so much
We just simply think about her all the time

To relive the past would be beautiful if somehow it would change the present
Today just sucks

I Will Always Remember Mari…

Mommy's Angel In Heaven — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:48:00 +0000

I will always remember Mari’s method of transportation… running.

I will always remember Mari’s laughter, trust, and innocence.

I will always remember Mari’s favorite foods.

In the context of the 23d Psalm, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,” I picture death saying:

Who is that running through my valley? She is supposed to walk!

And why is she laughing? She is supposed to be in fear!!

What magic marker? Where did she get a magic marker? What do you mean it won’t wash off? I have to repaint everything? Somebody catch that kid!!!

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.”

Mari asks God, “Do you have pancakes and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? And can you cut the crusts off?

“My cup runneth over,”

Mari asks, “More juice?”

Matt 19:14, Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” NIV

The kingdom of heaven belongs to the trusting and the innocent. Jesus called Mari to Him.

This was not “Good-bye”. This is merely, “Until we meet again.”
