To Honor You
To honor you, I get up everyday and take a breath.
And start another day without you in it.
To honor you, I laugh and love with those who knew your smile
And the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge.
To honor you, I take the time to appreciate everyone I love,
I know now there is no guarantee of days or hours spent in their presence.
To honor you, I listen to music you would have liked,
And sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.
To honor you, I take chances, say what I feel, hold nothing back,
Risk making a fool of myself, dance every dance.
You were my light, my heart, my gift of love, from the very highest source.
So everyday, I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh and love.
Now I live for us both, so all I do, I do to honor you.

A mother's child is every breath that she takes,
walking hand in hand, they are every step that
she makes.And as their steps will grow
to strides, still a child, in mother's eyes.
Every ache and pain they shall feel,
mother will share and with love she will kneel.
she will pray to God to take care of her child,
to protect and guide them through every mile.
Her child is the very core of her soul,
Weather a baby in arms or an adult
they're love will forever grow.
For to a mother, her child she ALWAYS will stay.
A real mother's love will never fade away~

"Rainbows appear after mighty storms,
when things look their very worst.
Just when the skies are darkest gray,
look for the rainbow first.
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise,
that He will guide us through all our troubles,
no matter what their form.
When you feel battered by life's storms,
and you are filled with doubt and dismay;
just remember God's rainbow is coming,
it's only a prayer away"
