Pain

The heart is heavy, the soul is bound
to free, it flutters, but falls aground
I recall her weak smile and frail body,
standing by the doorway
my heart feels heavy and the tears are wet
for all I remember is a silhouette
I remember bidding her bye and wishing her well
knowing very well, it was a goodbye and a farewell
the chord severed at birth, yet the pain is only now felt
the pearls of memories fray as your soul withers away
with your soul is my heart and soul bound
my soul will always be bound,
my tears will always be wet
my heart will always be heavy

Happiness

Each day has a gift to give,
small joys and big ones too
beauty to see and songs to hear
and wonderful things to do..
So, enjoy each day to the fullest
for they add up to nothing less
than a lifetime of lovely moments
and a heart full of happiness

Ma

Behind my hopes and strength, you will always be,
In my thoughts and prayers you will always be,
In my daughter and sisters I see you,
In myself I see you, Yet I always miss you,
I thank you for who I am and what I am,
If you weren't here, I wouldn't be here.
Happy birthday Ma, I love you.
