My Precious Son

My darling son, my hands are shaking as I pen this letter....
It seems an eternity since I last laid eyes on your sweet face
Sometimes I feel as if you are a stranger to me
But at other times, I feel as if you must still be my precious little boy
Missing you has driven me nearly mad with grief
You were always such a perfect angel
Although I let them take you away from me,
I have always kept you close to my heart
I pray for you every night without fail
Sometimes I wonder if you even remember me
Although I don't deserve it,
God has blessed me with a new family
I adore the little ones, but it is the oldest girl who has stolen my heart
She has the gentlest of dispositions, but she is a bit of a dreamer
Sometimes she tends to act before she thinks
Before counting the cost....
I fear her impetuous nature might lead her into harm's way
I only wish she had a man such as you to watch over her
You've lived long enough now to know that sometimes,
People do all the wrong things....for all the right reasons
I swear I never meant to hurt you
I wanted only what was best for you
I pray everyday that you will find a woman to share your life
A woman who will love you as much as I do
I hope you'll spoil her as I wish I could have spoiled you
and that she will prove worthy of your devotion
I still see your face in my dreams
and I wish those dreams could go on forever....
But even the sweetest of dreams must come to an end
I pray that someday you will find it in your heart to forgive me
But even if that day should never come,
know that I will always love you.

When Love Hurts

When the moment I lost you, I had lost all of me,
It was more than just a feeling; it was all that I see.
Every place I went, the image of your face would appear,
Yet in the blink of my eye, you quickly disappeared.

My heart would get so lonely, right that I'd always cry,
Never noticed how much it would hurt;the moment of goodbye.
People would say, "Don't worry, Time will make it heal."
How can I listen, when deep down your love is all I feel.

I am not sure how long this hurting heart of mine can take,
It hurts even more, knowing I gave myself this heartache.
I am stuck in my emotions, no thought of what to do,
I'll just lay back down while crying these tears for you.

Have you ever let go of someone and deep down feel guilty?
Yet facing the truth, all it did was make you more lonely,
All you can do each day is think of what could have been.
If you never were afraid of their love, and just took them

My Special Friend

Isn't it funny?
how some special people
don't realize they are special at all?
They're thoughtful
without even thinking about it.
They're always right there
when you call.
They share, not expecting
a thing in return.
Yet always seem richer
for giving --
Isn't it lovely how
those special people
can teach us
so much about living!
You're one of those Special People!
Thanks for being my friend.

P.S. I love You

Love is like wildflowers.
It's often found in the most unlikely places.

To get more out of life, give more of yourself.

Don't be afraid to go out on a limb.
That's where the fruit is.

You'll learn more about a road by travelling it than by
consulting all the maps in the world.

When fate shuts a door,
come in through the window.

No failure is ever finale--nor is any success.

If you're doing your best,
you won't have time to worry about failure.

Dreams come true
for those who work while they dream.

No one is guaranteed happiness.
Life just gives up time and space. It's up to us
to fill it with joy and meaning.

Do for others with no desire of returned favors.
We all should plant some trees we'll never sit under.

True wealth is what you are, not what you have.

Almost our unhappiness is the result of
comparing ourselves to others.

We can't do much about our appeareance,
but we have total control
over the kind of person we become.

To change everything, simply change your attitude.

Sometimes the heart
sees what is invisible to the eye.

Carrying a grudge is like a run in a stocking -- it can
only get worse. Forgiveness is the answer.

When you remember how hard it is to change
yourself, you begin to understand what little chance
we have of changing others.

Instead of waiting for someone to bring
you flowers, why not gather your own bouquet.

A friend is a person who knows all about you
but likes you anyway.

Friends are like a beautiful garden.
They require regular care.

The people on our planet are standing in
a line single file. Look closely. Everyone is really
standing in a circle, holding hands. Whatever you
give to the person standing next to you,
it eventually comes back to you.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.
It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

P.S.
I Love You

Marriage

then before all the stand, the holy vow
and ring of gold, no fond illusions now,
bind her as his
across the threshold led,
and every tear kissed off as soon as shed,
his house she enters, there to be a light,
shining within, when all without is night;
a guardian angel o'er his life presiding,
doubling his pleasures and his cares dividing,
winning him back when mingling in the throng,
back from a world we love, alas!
too long, to fireside happiness, to hours of ease,
blessed with that charm, the certainty to please
how often her eyes read his; her gentle mind
to all his wishes, all his thoughts inclined;
still subject, ever on the watch to borrow
mirth of his mirth, sorrow of his sorrow
the soul of music slumbers in the shell,
till walked and kindled by the master's shell
and feelings heart touch them, but rightly pour

A thousand melodies unheard before!

(Samuel Rogers)

Life is short love

Life is short love, Maiden
Before your red lips fade
Before your hot blood grows cold
There is no time for tomorrow

Life is short love, Maiden
Now grasp his hand into his boat
Now the burning cheek is your cheek
There is no one that will come here

Life is short love, Maiden
Drift on the waves like a boat
Place your soft hand on my shoulder
There are no eyes to see us here

Life is short love, Maiden
Before the color of your dark hair fades
Before the fire of your heart disappears
Today is something that will not come again

(F.Y. Genbu)

Together

You carry light to me every day
I fill my nights with song
Such clear feelings couldn't be wrong
Because you bring light into my life
You bring light into my life
You give me hope for the future
You bring light into my life
Love buried in darkness
But one day you appeared
I was lost in the waves
But the time I can relax must finally be here
I'll never be again
Oh....
I love everything about you
Even your loneliness
....and your sadness
I've spent countless nights alone
by the window
Waiting for someone
To sing to me, to appear
I have a countless number of dreams
in my heart
I finally understand
All the pain....
All the hurt....
I'm not afraid of it anymore
Because he will be there
through it all together with me
