The Perfect Gift~ A Dedication to Laurie Krager


The Perfect Gift

I can recall the Christmas eves
When Dad was still on Earth
When Christmas time was family time
And a celebration of Christ’s Birth.

My heart and soul were ripped apart
The year that Daddy died
Gone was the family I thought I had
All I had left to do was cry.

I knew someday with faith and hope
I knew “Dad” would return
He came back in a friendly smile
From a good friend, I would learn.

You brought to me the perfect gift
It’s not under the tree
It’s not a gift I can unwrap
You brought my “family” back to me.

Forbidden Mention

Forbidden Mention What causes your family to bury the past? To hide from the truth, don’t want it to last Is it better to bury the problems of old? I found out its lies I have always been told.

If your life has been stable, with love and support Don’t pretend that

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
