Mothers Day


Don't touch this, and don't touch that
Children of young age just love that
Ooh look some paint. Ooh look, a wall
Watch out parents this won't be small

Where you going? And who with?

Mom, stop crowding...his name is Biff.
Ten o'clock tonight, midnight the next
Watch out child, here comes the shot gun with dad the T-Rex

Next thing you know it's all goodbyes
College and missions, bring tears to the eyes
Where have the years gone, Hands clasp hands as then said,
Everything will be ok mom. Just hang on.

Letters are sent, as homesickness arrives
Mom sits at home watching for the mail, wondering if she'll survive
Prayers are said in hope and love
Watching the days snail on by, mom finally gets back to her life...sort of


Woman Holding Baby Above Head 
It's time It's time, mom cries
Mom decided to give a welcome home surprise
Running in slow motion as two come together
Mother I've missed you, Child, you too.

Home for a time, but life moves on
A new life has begun, so much to get done
Being in a family that’s so big and loud
Moments alone are few and rare
But when they arrive, they are treated with care

Down on one knee a proposal is made
Down on two knees, a prayer is made
One in a tux, another in a dress and veil
With God's help, this marriage will not fail

Grandchildren have come, and it starts all over
It's a boy! His name is pronounced as Rover.
Even though she is now a grandma, one thing will never change
A mom is a mom, with a love no one can exchange

Mother I love you
Mother I do
Mother there isn’t anything I’d change about you
Happy Mothers day Mom

Endure, Have Faith, Stay Strong - Nov 2, 2011



Falling forward, looking backward
Butterflies flying within
People I care for, People I’d die for
Struggles increasing within
Take my hand, oh dearest friend
Lean on my back, I’ll carry you
Pray to the Lord, have faith, have trust
He’s there watching over you
Put one foot in front of the other
One day you’ll reach the top of the Mountain
Couple Holding in Train Rails during Golden Hour

Friends? May 17, 2011



Being a friend, when I need one
Listening to others, when I need to speak
Telling others it’s ok to cry, when I need to
Cheering on couples, when I desire to be one
Doing so many things when I need them
I comfort others when I need to be
OH STOP COMPLAINING!
Given love, given peace I am very grateful
Given a home, given food, I am quite thankful
Stop complaining, it’s all good, all is well
God is with us, peace is with us
My family cares, my family loves, my family tries
I am very grateful for my many blessings!

Ben's Farewell - Feb 15, 2011



Talk to ya later…
Heart aching, throbbing…
Tears start coming…
Words coming out reassuring self it’ll be ok
Looking forward to the future!
Expecting the most!
Understanding little!
Thanking technology given today
I hear his voice in my head
I pray for strength in all that’s said

When all is said and done
Amazement that all fun is gone
Confused what to do now…
I lift my head high, hope the best
Pray for help, and watch for letters
This day is done, a journey begun
                                                                Ben’s adventure has come

Press On? - Jan 9, 2011



With wondering awe
And a heart of a teenager
The opposite sex seems quite beautiful

Knowing age and noticing all
Aching heart and confused thoughts
Understand we must be careful

Hoping for help
And feeling new emotions
Wanting to be cheerful

Taking in responsibility
Understanding your place
Should I be dareful

With a chance of faint
And heart of chance
                                                                 Life has become colorful.

Ben - Dec 2, 2010



With music playing
Snowballs throwing
Fate is soon to come
 

With hi then bye
Eye contact leaves with a sigh
Fate has begun

Later dance becomes closer
Friends that call once a week
Fate gets stronger

Love comes full on strong
He then dedicates a song
Fate is working magic

Silence during school
Boredom and lonliness drool
Fate’s taking a step back

I take a stand, and call
He answered, wonderful in all
Fate is standing back up

Best friends are made
Romantic love has fade
Fate has a new story line

Papers are sent for mission
Joy coming as a commission
Fate leads to God’s Way

A double date is made
Hurray! Lets all have a joy parade
Fate leads to the heart


Scheduling changes with pain
We all go insane!
Fate has a rebel side

With hope and faith
It will be ok he saith
Fate must watch his back
                                                                              For February He leaves for 2 years
