Roses For Michael

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!!

GRIEF

Grief envelops me, holding me ever so tight

I don't know how I'll make it through this night.

Grief follows me each and everyday

No matter how I duck and dodge,

I can't seem to get out of its way.

Grief calls on me, knows me by name,

Never letting me forget that

Things will never be the same.

Grief speaks to me at unexpected times

It doesn't give me a forewarning, hint or sign.

It sends its friend called, Loneliness

To rob me of my sleep,

And gives me tears

That cause me to weep, and weep, and weep.

It sends along Hurt and Pain

As constant reminders that

Life without you will never be the same.

Grief robs, cheats and destroys

I don't think I can stand this Grief much more.

Grief leaves me with emptiness

Where love used to be

Reminding me that never again

Will I see you smiling at me.

Grief says to me

That you'll never again come home

I'm so unhappy and all alone.

Lord, help me,

For I'm going down fast

Show me that one day this too shall pass.

Show me once more, Lord

That love does transcend,

That even Grief

Can't bring love to an end.

Show me, Lord

Show me right away!

Because Grief is waiting to attack me

As I start a brand new day.

Lyrics to THE ROSE

Some say love, it is a river

that drowns the tender reed.

Some say love, it is a razor

that leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger,

an endless aching need.

I say love, it is a flower,

and you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance.

It's the dream afraid of waking

that never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken,

who cannot seem to give,

and the soul afraid of dyin'

that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

and the road has been to long,

and you think that love is only

for the lucky and the strong,

just remember in the winter

far beneath the bitter snows

lies the seed that with the sun's love

in the spring becomes the rose.

Michael,

This page I made in memory of the time I came home to find dozens and dozens and dozens of red roses everywhere in our house....Even rose petals in my bed.... I have so many beautiful

memories of you...you were such a loving and caring son...you

always made me feel so special and so loved.....

I Love and Miss you so much Mikey...

Love Always,

Mom

Life was a battlefield, and their defeat is the world's loss......

"Laughing through the tears is my favorite emotion."

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

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

Have faith that the ones we love

are not lost to us forever, but wait to live with us

iin peace for all eternity.

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...
