Dedicated to a beloved friend of whom just recently passed away. May you rest in peace and live on in loving memories.

Poem No. 19861127-20121029

When someone dies they leave an empty space
deep inside our hearts that nothing can erase
In that frozen shadow time is standing still
reminding us of those we love today and always will
They're leaving flashing images and calling echoes of themselves
and no one could ever replace the space of somebody else

We shall shiver in the flames of sorrow that will burn
in our hearts knowing our loved ones never will return
Until the day they will stand like so many times before
silently stretching out a hand greeting us at the door
Would you believe in angels and the grace of God's eternity
if when you were to leave all this would be for you to see?

They are reaching out to me and you since we've gone astray
when our lives are through, Heaven? Hell? Come what may
That all of our dear ones living on in loving memory
will light the sky as far off suns for the rest of God's eternity
If we ever loose our way in the darkest winter night without snow
may angels come to find and show the way we know we should go

It is strange just how unpredictable this is what we're calling fate
before I even knew it was far too late, you had nothing more to wait
The wind of death chooses every moment without repent, without lament
I've always seen you as my friend and I will do so until the end
No matter the distance between the days that I saw your pretty face
You're a space I can't erase, not replace and I will miss you always

A poem tributed to my mother, who has all my life been of great support to me and my problems. And even though I know that she has had her and still has Problems and obstacles in her life, she has always helped me when I have my silly exaggerated problems. And this is the way I see her knowing she might not se herself this way, but I do!

Sailing
~~~~>*<~~~~
My mother she knew how to sail
through wind and storms she would always prevail
she conquered the seas she desired so
where ever she wanted she managed to go
~~~~>*<~~~~
My mother she knew how to fight
she knew where to go in the darkest night
she could safely maneuver night and day
as dawnings and dusks swept her away
~~~~>*<~~~~My mother she knew how to be
she knew how to make others see
as she drank from belief one great zip
it had made her raft as strong as a ship
~~~~>*<~~~~
My mother she knew how to be brave
knew to take what her heart would crave
it made her travel the world for things to do
it made her open her heart and be true
~~~~>*<~~~~
My mother she new how to sail
through wind and storms she would always prevail
she conquered the seas she desired so
where ever she wanted she managed to go
~~~~>*<~~~~
My mother she knew how to be strong
she knew where to go and how to belong
and then she tried to pass this on to me
but I wasn't strong enough to break free
~~~~>*<~~~~
Yes! She tried to pass this on to me
but I was not strong enough to..... be free

It's not that I think she has failed me somehow, I feel more that she done a great job considering what she had to work with. We're too different and I'm sorry I'm not storng the way my mother is! But it's not your fault mom! I love you, and to be honest, without you I have no idea where I had been today. </p>
