MY WAY
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
"The life that we live, is a layout that the Lord gives us. And if it doesn't go the way we want it to, just remember it was apart of the Lord's plan."
"When God sent you to me he never said that you were mine, that I could keep you always - only borrowed for a time. Now, He's called you home, I'm sad and I shed tears. Yet, I'm glad He loaned you to me and we had these many years."
Baby....I was so blessed to have you in my life....
If even for such a short while..
~Michael's Mom~
Be in peace, my precious Mikey...
I love you so very, very much....

"Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be more than a thought apart,
For as long as there is a memory, they'll live on in the heart."
Author Unknown
"Those we love are with the Lord, and the Lord has promised to be with us. If they are with Him, and He is with us, they cannot be very far away."
Peter Marshall
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven,
And bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart aches so in sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

Father, although
I cannot see the future
you have planned,
And though the path is
Sometimes dark
And hard to understand:
Yet give me faith through
joy and pain to trace
Your loving hand.
John Eddison
Fly high now my precious....Watch over us all
Michael's Mom
I will watch for you in the night sky....
The Brightest Star
When I was a child I'd look into the sky
and marvel at all the shining stars.
They'd capture my attention for hours.
There would always be one, bright, shining star
that stood out from the rest. The others were
still beautiful, but there was something special
about that one star ....
I still look into the sky and am amazed at the
beauty of the stars. I still see that one, bright,
shining star that seems to stand alone among the millions.
But, now when I see that star, I think of someone ...
Someone who is special and stands apart from all others...........
That someone is you
Within our hearts,
the ones we love
are never really gone-
In spirit and in memory,
their legacy lives on.
Within our hearts,
the ones we love
are never really gone-
In spirit and in memory,
their legacy lives on.
May memories
treasured in your heart
of times that were most dear
Bring us peace
and help to keep Michael ever near....
~Michael's Mom~
As you go down memory lane,
Remember the good times and joy that you have had together,
and keep them in your heart,
Because there, no one can take them away....
It will always be Me and You.....

His angel's face
As the great eye of heaven shined bright
And made a sunshine in the shady place.
(Edmund Spenser)
Hush! my dear, lie still and slumber,
Holy Angels guard thy bed!
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently falling on thy head.
(Isaac Watts)
No further away than a picture,
A smile, or remembered phrase,
Our loved ones live in memory -
So close in so many ways.
For how often does a sunset
Bring nostalgic thoughts to mind
Of moments that our loved one shared
In days now left behind!
How often has a flower
Or a crystal autumn sky
Brought golden recollections
Of happy day gone by!
Yes, memory has a magic way
Of keeping loved ones near -
Ever close in mind and heart
Are the ones we hold most dear.
May God bless you
for the rich love
and beauty that
springs from your spirit

Treasure Every Moment that you have
Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a Gift
That's why It's called the Present!!
Deep within the dark of night I take a breath and see His Light It's there for all the world to see For me it's love eternally
"Laughing through the tears is my favorite emotion."
Life was a battlefield, and their defeat is the world's loss......
you always made me feel so special and so loved.....
I Love and Miss you so much Mikey...
Love Always,
Mom
Have faith that the ones we love
are not lost to us forever, but wait to live with us
iin peace for all eternity.
Sadness fills the heart with pain Softness comes with silent rain
As the water falls in rhyme
It clings to me as to a vine
There is not a day that goes by baby, that I don't miss you and long for one more touch...one more smile....one more minute...
~Michael's Mom~
