30 August 2009

Today, in 1924, a baby was born
This child grew up to be my Daddy
Today he would be 85 years old.....
If I do the math, that means he has been gone for almost 22 years
Don't wait until tomorrow......because tomorrow is never promised
Do you tell your family and friends that you love them?

It seems "wierd" to still be grieving after 22 years
I know what Elizabeth Kubler Ross says
There are stages of grief
And they all have their time and place

But, I found out that being "strong" and "tough" about grief,
It does not go away into oblivion~and "stuffing" your feelings
Can only destroy you, make you run scared
Because when you lose the one person in your life who believed in you
You forget who you were..who you are....
And even being 50 years old, you feel like a child who just lost her favorite toy

We all have to face those losses~throughout our lives nothing is guaranteed
What we can guarantee is that losing the most important person in your life
Will NEVER go away...it might get better for a minute, or an hour
But, that LOSS...it will not be revealed until we meet again someday.
I LOVE YOU, DADDY!!
Happy Birthday!!<3

DAYBREAK

In the stillness of the morning I think about my day Put my thoughts and words together And to Jesus I do pray Before I turn the lights on Put the coffee on to brew I ask the Lord to guide me, What he’d like to see me do To make this world a better place To help my fellow man He put me here to do these things I know this is His plan As the sun begins to rise I feel joy within my heart Having Jesus there to light my way He can show me where to start.

Can It Change??

Can It Change? I gotta ask you what’s going on And wonder why this split has upon Come to our world~unrest and war Did all this start a long time before? In1776 a contract wrote Would give us all the right to vote And stand a nation so delighted But, if that’s so, why are we not UNITED? Our leader some decisions make May sometimes be a sad mistake But as a nation, can we be UNITED in our LIBERTY? We lose our job, our house, we strife Can’t we be thankful we have LIFE? Is greed consuming heart and mind That people have become unkind? A Pollyanna I am not If you think I care about what I’ve got ‘Cause life is more than money or things We’re materialistic marionettes on strings My friends cannot come home from this war Because more battles they’re needed there for But we complain about our fancy cars While war has someone’s child behind bars Can we UNITE as this country planned? Can we do what’s right and take a stand? Can we share

Oh, Gentle Heart

Oh, Gentle Heart When I looked into your eyes That Monday back in May I saw the stars that light your soul That very special day. I saw each chance as special Each chance you took me to That place where I could be myself And feel so peaceful next to you. As days passed by my heart would flutter At the thought I’d see your face I longed to see those stars again To journey to that place. Your gentle nature touched my heart It left me wanting more To open up your soul to me Was something to adore. I consider myself so lucky That you’ve touched my heart so deep I will treasure you in the palm of my hand Even when I sleep! Vickie Skowronski ~Copyright 1998
