For Mom, my guardian angel…

Subtle little clues
You like to leave behind
To let me know you’re with me
Making it easier to find

Boxes filled with memories
Clothes, once hung upon the door
Are now laying in the hallway
Where you’ve put them, on the floor

You really needn’t show me
I can feel your presence near
Reminding me to be careful
Of the many treasures here

I’ve wrapped them up in paper
Placed them gently, as not to break
Packed up everything I could
Oh, how my heart does ache

Yet, in very quiet moments,
When I am in your home,
I can hear you whisper
“You’ll never be alone”

By the look on her face, in this empty space
Feelings of sorrow must fill this place
No one around, on this hardened ground
Echoing footsteps, nary making a sound

What was once here, no longer clear
She watched how easily, it could disappear
Held on til the end, body broke, didn’t bend
Perhaps it is better to merely pretend

But joy did fade, when it should have stayed
Mind games, something they always played
Gone, is the time, remembered, sublime
Knocked down, sadly, before her prime

Unable to stand, not what she had planned
Longing for the life, she once held so grand
Photos on the wall, surely tell it all
Faded, with memories, her rise to her fall

In a class all her own, no history sown
Worthless,  dejected, left there alone
Ballerina dance! Pointed toes, pure romance
Heartbroken, never given the chance…

She tortured him, with her cruel intent

He never realized what it all had meant

Down on bended knee, he proposed they unite

Her words, echoed still, “no, it wouldn’t be right”

“To marry a man, I have no feelings for”

All he remembered, as she walked out the door

Love was the one thing she couldn’t return

Tears filled his eyes, slowly making them burn

He couldn’t believe it, thought all was in jest

But the truth sucked the life right out of his chest

I wrote this when my daughter, Alyssa, was in the hospital.  It was such a helpless feeling.  One I hope you never have to experience.  I thank God every day that she is okay….He listens, even when you think He’s not…always have faith.

How can I take away your pain?

I watch, as your color begins to drain

Clenching my chest to bring it to me

Taking the horror you feel and setting you free

Praying to God, in Heaven above

Knowing he hears me, embraces with love

Reminding me always, this is part of his plan

As he holds you close, in his loving hands
