From the first moment of your birth
My dreams were fulfilled
As I watched you grow each year

Turning many corners of your life
Accomplishing more than I could dream
You turned into a lovely young woman

Turbulent times and tempers flared
As we fought the battle of your independence
Often left in tears of confusion

While the years have tempered you
You grew strength, wisdom and courage
To stand among the thorns of life

It is with utmost honor and pride
I pen my words to you
My lovely Charlie

Happy Mothers Day
Love Always and Forever, Mom

As you walk away, take a moment
To remember our first glance
The first touch so tingling to feel
The first kiss of two souls

Remember our wedding day
As the summer sun shinned brightly down
Our faces and hearts radiant with love
Our night of joining two souls

Our first child, the magic of birth
Life renewed and forever changed
A name would live on to history
As you and I have fulfilled a moment in time

Today as we sit and say goodbye
With tears of bitterness and love lost
Knowing our time had come and gone
We gave it our best; we just simply didn’t make it

I’ll tuck you into a corner of my heart
And remember the love, we once felt
Tuck me away, and go quietly my love
As you walk away, don’t close your eyes

To This Day

As the wind rustles through tops
Of the huge Oaks, keeping them
Swaying gently to and fro

While gentle mist of soft rain drops fall
Comes the leaves of golden color
Floating down, their work done

You come gently floating through
Letting me know of your great strength
Stirring the core of me awake

It is with wonder as I sit and feel
Your magnificent power, brush my face
I bow my head in silent prayer
To this day, you have granted me once more
