Memories Of You

The clouds reminded me today
Of things I'd long forgotten
Quiet evenings by your side
Under the blankets of cotton

The wonderful way
That you wanted to play
At the end
Of a long hard day

The kisses you gave
As you licked my face
Will always remind me
Of your special place

So now as I wait
For the time to begin
When our lives will cross
And I'll see you again

I'll think of the memories
Of you every day
And know that you're waiting
By the bridge far away

Whispered Sounds

The sounds drift gently and my soul hears your whispered
words, telling me your always near. You have heard me cry
for one more hug and more more kiss and you have sent
them to me on the wings of an angel. You have seen
me stop and sigh as I see places and remember times
we spent together and you sent me memories to warm
my heart. You have seen my steps falter when I
think I can no longer take another one. You
whisper lean on me I will always walk with you.
You sense the guilt I feel, for none know me better
then you. You send the sun to warm my face
and the rain to wash away the pain. You whisper
let the tears wash the guilt away for you brought me
into your heart and gave me love. You have nothing
to be guilty for. You see me alone and lonely and send
one who needs me as much as I need them. The stars
at night twinkle and tell of the pride you feel for your family.
For in this one with the eyes that only ask for love is
part of you. You have seen me look up into the heavens
and ask why. And you answer me was time. But my heart
is forever with you. I am never gone from you.
In our dreams we meet and touch again.
The sounds drift gently and my soul hears your whispered
words, telling me your always near.

A Million Times I Will Miss You

They say memories are golden;
well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.

A million times I will miss you,
a million times I will cry.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no pup could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.

Your precious memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.
God has you safe in His keeping,
but I'll have you forever in my heart.

If tears could build a stairway,
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
