The feeling is gone,
no need to recall,
was not meant to last
just to fade into memory...
found within the unclaimed images,
lost inside the many windows,
hidden behind the dark shades
of my mind...
to share the company
with all that has been left,
unresolved and forgotten over time.

"I Believe So"
Pictures of my mom are placed all around my home.
A tiny heart shaped frame holds one inches from where I sit.
I love my mom, and often wonder what would have been,
if the angels didn't take her 20 years ago...
Would mom still be the back bone of the family,
I believe so.
Would mom have time for her five children and now seven
grand children also,
I believe so.
Would mom still be a homebody wrapped in her old house
coat each day,
I believe so.
Would moms birthday be the big family gathering each year,
I believe so.
Would mom cry tears of joy, and still make all in
her present cry also,
I believe so.
Would mom's house still be open into the wee hours for
coffee and a game of cards or two,
I believe so.
Would mom hear each day form me, "I love you",
I know so.
As I look at this tiny picture before me,
I often wonder what would have been;
if mom was here today...

"The Moonlight Glow"
If I sleep beneath the moonlight glow
will this life be lost to me
Wake no more to dawns light
forever kept in this endless night
Words of love are heard so clear
echoed back from unseen walls
As I feel this warming light
my eyes are closed, my mind aware
If i sleep, please wake me soon;
for this moonlight glow, is calling my name.
