To live in hearts we leave behind; Is not to die.

On the third anniversary...

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Mama Our Treasure

Mama Our Treasure
By Georgia

As we look back on these years
to see how far we’ve come and grown,

We take a trip down memory lane,
And what we see has shown

That every step we’ve taken,
you have been there by our sides.
From infacy to adulthood,
we’ve stood the test of time.

You cradled us and nurtured us
Through all these many years,
You held us and comforted us,
through happiness and tears.

You’d pick us up when we would fall,
You’d dust us off and then encourage us
to get back on that damn old horse again.

Your constant care and loving
and your warm inviting heart,
has always been a treasure that
We know would never depart.

If we could be just half the Mom
You have been to us,
Then you have taught us well dear Mom,
that family is a must.

One Hundred Years From Now


One hundred years from now,
it will not matter what kind of car I drove,
what kind of house I lived in,
how much was in my bank account,
nor what my clothes looked like.
But
The world may be a little better
because I was important in the life of a child
