Autumn Leaves



My life has come to autumn

The leaves of my past are falling away.

Some are still hanging on to the branch quiveringly

By a thread



The seasons are going backwards

I've had winter, it's now autumn

Next the summer of hope and the spring of new life



It's a time of loss and grief

Of letting go the leaves, my marriage, my freedom,

My work, my house, my family

And my friends



My soul feels winter-bare

Summer beckons with a smile

But I cannot return it.

Tears keep arising from within



My God, why is it so hard

To surrender my dearest and best

In exchange for yours?

Without You



As the days go by,

I wonder why

You flew up to the sky.

You flew so high,

You make us cry

Why did we have to say goodbye?

You are here with me

I know that's true.

And one thing I'm sure of is I miss you.

You're gone and I want you back.

At least you're out of pain.

You hold my hand at night

And help me through this game.

A tear in my eye

I know your safe in Heaven

But I can't help but cry.

Why did God take you up there?

Life without you just isn't fair.

I know it's hard to say farewell

But I guess God needed a beautiful angel.

When a Loved One's Gone



When everything feels shattered

And everything's gone wrong

How am I supposed to live

When a loved one's gone;

How can I face getting up to know

That you are not here,

This pain and heartache

Is just all too much to bare;

You who I love

Will remain with me forever,

The memories of those special times

Will be forgotten never;

Even though you are gone

Your memory will still live on,

It won't ever fade away

Because my loved one's gone;

You will never be--

More than a thought apart,

For as long as I have a memory

You'll live on in my heart!

The road to Santa Claus,

The blessed time of childhood

That meant so much...because

It held the tinseled magic

Of fairyland array,

When all the world was laughter...

And life was only play.

Christmas is remembering...

A tree ablaze with light,

The family gathered closely

And knowing deep delight.

Exchanging gifts and sharing,

The gaiety and song

That star the festive season...

Each time it comes along.

Christmas is remembering...

Our friends who're far and near,

By giving and receiving,

A season always dear.

The mistle toe and holly,

As scarlet tapers glow,

The Christ Child in a manger...

So very long ago.
