Loving You Forever and Always, Mom
On Your Son's Birthday
It’s the birthday of your son,
yet you cry such bitter tears.
Your son was taken from you;
to you it feels like years.
He was such a loving child;
you never thought 't would be,
That he would die before you
and leave your heart to grieve.
I wish that I could take away
the sorrow and the pain.
But I can only tell you now
you will see him again.
He’s standing right beside you
he’s whispering in your ear,
Close your eyes and listen,
and I know you will hear;
The warbling of a songbird,
the wind up in the trees,
The barking of a puppy
the singing of the bees.
It’s heaven’s way of saying
please do not despair,
Your son is waiting for you
he’s holding all your tears.
And though it seems forever
he’s just a breath away,
A heartbeat in eternity,
you'll walk with him someday.

Beautiful Poem on Dennis' Birthday.
"I Won't Let Go"
It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
It feels like that
You think you're lost
But you're not lost
On your own
You're not alone
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
If you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
It hurts my heart
To see you cry
I know it's dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all
And we're too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let you fall
Don't be afraid to fall
I'm right here to catch you
I won't let you down
It won't get you down
You're gonna make it
Yeah I know you can make it
Cause I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
And you can't cope
And I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
And I won't let go
Oh I'm gonna hold you
And I won't let go
Won't let you go
No I won't
