I
have a treasure chest...
it
is one that Scott made me
when he was still in high school.
I
once kept special things in my special
chest,
but
now it holds even more
special things such as cards that
you once gave me. Heidi.
It
holds pieces of clothing that you once
wore,
pretty little dresses and outfits that I
made for you,
little crayoned pictures you made when
you
were in grade school.
These things I always kept because I
thought that maybe you would want them
one day...
to
share with your children.
I
never would have thought in a
million years that I would
never be able to give them to you.
Now, I open the treasure chest, and hold
the things
to
my heart, and
I
can feel you. I cry a billion tears...if
not more.
I
long to hold you and share with you
all
the things we always dreamed of.
It
is truly a treasure chest now. It
holds more riches than a chest of
diamonds.
It
holds treasures that can never ever
be
replaced. I hang tight to these
memories...
in
my special treasure chest.
Because I always have a piece of you...a
memory...
a
beautiful memory to hold close to my
heart.
Memories
Memories, such memories
They filter through my mind.
Each as clear as crystal,
Each one so sublime.
Days of Joy and laughter
Filled with such delight,
Memories of happy times
Before you left my life.
Now the pain they bring me
Causes tears to come.
I can not escape from them
There is no place to run.
This is all that's left to me,
As now I sit alone,
Memories of Yesterday
When you and I were one.
You are gone my Sweetheart
Leaving me behind.
Why did I lose my daughter,
What sin did I commit?
These terrible questions come to me
While quietly I sit.
I can not turn away from... then,
I know inside I must.
Yet memories inside of me
I will never let go.
I know somewhere your happy
Your life is now complete
I know that angels keep you
No pain for you to feel.
That is my only peace now
The knowledge deep inside.
You've found a place to go
Where you will always smile.
