Faded Away

In tears I saw your decline

I watched you fade away.

you fought so hard to stay.

You faced your life with courage.

and still you kept on fighting,

until you were released.

God saw you getting tired and worn,

When a cure, he could not give

So he put his arms around you

and whispered "here you can live".

So when I saw you sleeping

So peaceful and free from pain.

The Honorable Man

Not, how did he die, but how did he live?

Not, what did he gain, but what did he give?

For this is the means to measure mans worth

How he conducted his life and regarded his earth.

Not what of his riches, nor of his breed,

But was he generous or suffer with greed.

Was he gentle and friendly, with a helpful hand.

Silent Tears

Why must I grieve silently,

The emptiness consumes me,

There is silence all around me

no one knows what to say,

Since you went away.

Each day the sun rises,

But this world of mine has halted

it turns not anymore.

For a part of me is missing

No one can cure this heartache,

Silently I grieve for you,

In my heart I’ll hold you close,

Promises Kept

I’ve kept my promise,

of what I would do.

To continue to live,

my life without you.

I get up each morning,

I get through the day

struggling past tears,

every step of the way.

I go on with life with,

a forced happy face.

My heart aches badly,

for what I can’t replace.

I don't know what to do,

to deaden this pain

It’s so hard, here without you,

where I must remain.

But I will keep my promise

and I must believe,

That you'll be there waiting,

Last Kiss

Her laugh, her love, her smile, her kiss,

All that she is, forever I'll miss.

I've one last chance, to say good-bye,

She’ll leave this earth, where her body remains.

She'll ascend to the heavens, liberated from pain.

I just can’t understand, why she has to die.

And all of this happened, in the blink of an eye.

I don’t know if I can,  but I have no choice,

gone is her smile, her laugh, and her voice.

My shattered heart, with my one final kiss,

Why does her life, have to end like this.

With the flick of a switch, her final breath,

My Soul Lives On

Last night whilst I was trying to sleep,

came a voice that I did hear.

I opened up my eyes and looked,

but no one did appear.

It said, “You got to listen".

You've got to understand.

God didn't take me from you,

He only took my hand.

When I cried out in pain that night,

the instant that I died,

He reached down and took my hand,

and pulled me to his side.

He pulled me up and saved my soul,

from misery and pain.

My body's all that you can't see,

but the rest of me remains.

I love you so and miss you too

but don't keep asking why.

My body's gone forever,

but my soul can never die!

So live until we meet again,

and please try to understand.

God didn't take me from you,

I Am Her Child

My mom is a survivor,

or so it has been said.

But do you know, she cries each night,

when she  goes to bed.

She lies awake every night,

she knows not, that I'm near.

I hold her hand and touch her hair,

to help to ease her fear.

But like sands on the beach,

that will never wash away.

I watch my mom suffer,

day after endless day.

She wears a smile for others,

her smile hides her despair.

But watching my mom suffer,

is more than I can bare.

She does not know or believe,

that I’m really there.

So please, I ask, visit my mom,

to show her that you care.

For no matter what she tells you,

I know just how she feels.

My mom’s heart is broken,
