When your final graces of good-bye were set upon me...
The love I felt was most sincere and profound.

I knew that even though our blood does not match...
I was a daughter whom you loved ever so.

I did not see the anguish that was cast a fear....
I did not know the others....would try and make me disappear.

For the love you gave to me was true...
you grew me to be who I am today...

Now daily I'm forced to sit and ponder....why was my life stolen and branished away?

Don't give in to the feelings of constant hurt and disappointment...look ahead and see all the good forth-comings that will

take place in your life anew. The growth of your children, their accomplishments and conquers....fall deep into giving them

a mother that is a constant rock of strength, love and understanding. Focus on all the good things that will be tomorrow, and the next,

and the next years.

Turn all this into a place within your soul that will allow you to break free and become the woman you truly are. You have been hiding and not

allowed...

Cause it seems like, every tear, I’ve shed for you…

Made it seem like years gone by…without you…

Standing there, with a warm smile upon your face and you pull a chair,

You say sit down, let’s chat a while, tell me all that’s on our mind….



Days like that I miss so much, your warm embrace,

Your gentle touch…of laughter, as you watch us all,

Crammed together in your kitchen and hall….
I Miss You Dad…..


It’s hard for me to make that trip…
