Being Reminded Each Day
(of that day)

Being reminded each day of that day
is a pain that many live through.
Losing a child hurts like no other hurt.
Surviving is not an easy thing to do.

I, too, dread to see the sun rise tomorrow.
My heart tells me to just sleep through the day.
But nothing will erase the agonizing sorrow
that I've known since you went away.

Oh how I've longed to see my child again.
To look into your eyes once more.
To know what you would have contributed to life.
To see what avenues were yours to explore!

Now I dread for "that day" to arrive.
And I know how other mothers feel.
That day draws nigh for her to cry again.
And that terrific pain is just as real.

For the day that my child left my side;
It's a day that I want to erase.
Oh how it brings such misery & pain for me.
Now oh yes now, it's here for me to face!

I'll need a helping hand to get through
each hour that passes me by.
I'll need some hands to help me stand
and ears to hear me cry.

So take a moment this day and think of me.
Your prayers will see me through.
And when the sun goes down tomorrow...
I'll begin another year of weeping anew!

Death leaves a heartache

no one can heal,

Love leaves a memory

no one can steal.

Dear Mom, Dad, & Thomas,

I may be invisible to your sight,
But I'm forever here,
You may not hear me speak,
But I'm forever whispering in your ear,
You may not feel my touch,
But I'm forever by your side,

You may not feel my presences
But I'm forever going to remind you
my soul has Not died

You may not see my face
But I'm forever smiling at you
may not know that I'm there
But I'm forever watching what you do,
I may not breathe the same air
But I'm forever holding you
and through I cannot be seen
I'm forever, like my love for you,

Love,

Frank Jr.
