Dream in wonderful sparkling colors, is what I will always hear you say.....
When I look to the stars at night, it is you I search for.......
Your voice was always so smoothing, I wish to always hear it....
I will fly my kite high in the sky for you to reach down and touch it...
I will stand at the waters and let the wind blow through my hair, knowing you are standing right there next to me........
I will be with you one day hun, then we shall make those veggie balls we alway spoke of..........
The Lord took you for a reason, and I will not question it........
You will remain in my heart always, I love you Barb....
~~~~~~Daddy~~~~~~
Daddy I remember so many times with you from when I was a newborn babe till I was a teen too. When I was very small you’d bounce me on ya knee as I grew a little older still you’d help me climb a tree you never seemed to busy you never grew too tired to push a swing or throw the ball or roast hot dogs on the fire Daddy I remember so many lessons taught those are treasures I hold dear Far more then the gifts ya bought you passed along the a thirst for God both word and Deed did show He was your source of strength and hope your love for Him overflowed Daddy I remember those last few days spent with you so precious and so fleeting those moments are all to few I held ya hand and gently gazed into ya eyes so brown I was well aware it would not be long until you wore ya crown You stand besides a crystal lake and walk down streets of gold my hand you left and yet I know it was Jesus' hand you held Daddy I will see you again one day up there what happy times we will have again we'll have so much to share Daddy I remember your love so strong and true Daddy you remember I will always love you too.......
~~~To Love is to Live~~~
To love is to live
To live is to love
Live life as if it was your last day
For you never know when our Father will call you "home"
Treat everyone with respect and kindness
Keep hate and bitterness out
For this is not God's will
Let go of the pain of the past
Allow only the hope of what will come
Take time to sit and just listen,
Take time to watch the sun raise or set,
Watch the rain fall, listen to the birds sing,
Take the time to tell someone your love for them,
Enjoy the brief time we have here......
There won't always be "tomorrow".....
~~~~~~Granny~~~~~~
You are my Rock, Granny
You always will be...
You were there for me when I needed You...
Even though I can not see You, I know
You are here...
To lift me up when I have fallen....
To sit and stare with me like we used to...
You were always there to pat me on my
head and tell me "it's all good"...
Granny I will miss you until our Lord
brings me home...
I know You will be here besides me...
You are my Rock, My Granny, I love you always........

~~~Butterflies~~~
The butterflies in my stomach dance a sweet waltz because of you. Making me feel like a sweet young girl in love, that is true. Why would I ever want them to disappear? The illusion of fantasy is far greater without tears. I am not a young wrapped up soul. My age should prove my maturity is bold. You take me on sweet journeys in my mind. Places I’ve never been seeking, beauty to never find. Please don’t chase the butterflies at play. I love the feeling wanting them to stay. Besides what is a few butterflies between friends . Let them dance a sweet waltz until their bitter end. They really do never last forever, so let me keep them as our sweet treasure.

Sabrina C May God Blessing Be Upon You..
When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!
Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly burned biscuit. He ate every bite of that thing... Never made a face nor uttered a word about it!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!"
As I've grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
And that's my prayer for you today... That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!
"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."
So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine.
And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
