To Aunt Jet:
One day in March as I lay sleeping,
I awoke to find myself weeping.
I opened my eyes to realize
My heart was the cause of my demize.
A special person that lives in there
Has gone on to another place somewhere.
So now as reality kicks in,
all the memories start to spin.
The distance in miles never stopped our love,
or smile, or tears or laughter,
They will stay for eternity
and even there after.
So i tell my heart to just stay calm,
I'm carrying "Jets" memories in my palm.
We always talked about building memories we could share.
In my eyes we stacked them all the way to the skies,
And as long as I live "you" will never die.
To our family in Muskegon, from your family in Tennessee.
"THANKS" for sharing her with all of us!
Sending our love - The Folks Back Home.##imported-begin##Baby "Carolyn Ward Deaton##imported-end##
To my sister, my friend:
When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not there to see
if the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me.
I wish you wouldn't cry
the way you did today
while thinking of many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me
as much as I love you.
And each time you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
please try to understand
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand.
If I could reveal yesterday
just eve for awhile
I'll say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see a smile.
But when I fully realize
that this could never be
for emptiness and memories
would take the place of me.
But here life starts anew
I promise no tomorrow
but today will always last.
You have been so faithful
so trusting and so true
though there were timesyou did some things
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last your free
So won't you come and take my hand
and share my life with me.
So when tomorrow starts without me
don't think we're far apart
for every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.##imported-begin##Lois Ward (Sister-In-Law)##imported-end##
