FOR JEREMY

FOR JEREMY

The moment that I saw your face
And touched your little hand
I knew the person you’d become
When you got to be a man.

I knew you’d have a character
Of strength and dignity
You added your own humor
Which is very fine with me!

I saw your sensitivity
And how you’d help a friend,
Your loyalty was strong and true
I knew it would never end.

I watched you be an athlete,
And an actor, and a guide,
It didn’t matter what you did,
You always reached the sky!

And then the day would have to come
The day I’d dread to see~
You packed your things,
Got in your truck
And moved to Milwaukee!

Oh, Son, then years have just raced by
I guess I knew they would~
I want you to know just how proud of you I am~
If you didn’t know, you should!

Love, Mom
~December 2001

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
