Realizations
Thinking and Reflecting
Realizing the answers within of our
family and ancestors
are out of reach now~
The very essence of
knowledge
spread
over open spaces
Questions held inside
Knowing there will be no forthcoming answers
Thankful for memories and mementos
However we perceive the memory or incident
Different replays
Hidden recipes,poems,prose,love letters,personal journals written
in scribbled hand
Voices on Memorex
for prosperity as dad would say
Pictures that hold a thousand stories
told from the eye of the viewer
These are what we have now
Collections in our minds
The rest
Forever hidden

Creative Morning
Was I dreaming?
Can it be really true?
mama and Dad gone forever from my view
At this stage in my life
I knew
it would be
but still it seems like a dream
I will awake
the phone will be ringing
and it's you mama on the other end
Or I will sleep and dream
and know it is a dream
all so real
Still there will be that connection that forever binds
It comes through
It feel,looks and sounds so like you
It is true

Music Heals
and yet
it is lonely here
surrounded with pictures and mementoes
of treasured days
I am feeling
strength from the years I have grown
I am not weak as before
When most thought me so strong
Every time I left
things behind
I was exhilerated
yet inside I trembled
So many years,
moments
Left behind
to wonder and ask "WHY"?

Inside me is a child
one that looks up at everything with a twinkle of awe in my eyes
This child inside is very much a part of me
She keeps me smiling and greets a sunny or rainy day the same
Thoughts of playing in the sand,jumping in ocean's waves
The child in me is crying

My sisters and Bro have dedicated this song to be our mama's song"Into the West"
We were shunned these past few years because of her greatest love ~Jehovah~
.We know that it tore at her very heart.We know she loved us,and we know she is at a place now where she knows eternally how very much we loved her and always will.

Artist: Annie Lennox Lyrics
Song: Into the West
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All Souls pass
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
Chorus
(In White)
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
Use Well the Days
Around the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I have passed them by,
A day will come...
I will take the hidden paths that run
West of the moon, and East of the sun.
I'm glad that you are here with me,
Here at the end of all things.
Night, too, shall be beautiful,
And blessed, and its fear will pass.
I must leave, must cross this sea;
The love you gave is all I take with me.
Use well the days,
Use well the days...
Turn your face to the green world,
Use well the days.
Seven stars and seven stones
And one White Tree,
From all the sundered seas...
Use well the days,
Use well the days...
Turn your face to the green world.
Use well the days. |
