This Poem Is Dedicated To Warren "Newie" Wallace. He Passed away July 23, 1994. March 20th is his B-day.He would be 69 years old today. I'll Always Have Days Like Today I've spent all this time fighting just to keep you alive To find grief kept me from seeing you today I just didn't have it within me to leave you behind again So, know in heart I placed a flower on your grave... Our memories, I will guard them with my every breath in life Here are 69 wishes begging for you to come home Cause the day you left, Dad, you forgot to take me with you I know you were ready but I wasn't ready to let you go... As sad as it is I'll always have days like today Days where I'm reaching and I know you're reaching, too I think I'd give just about anything at this moment To see those sweet angels dancing there with you... Happy Birthday seems so empty when I can't see your eyes But, I'll always have days like today to know family still sings I bow my head with the weight of reality once more And, to the long miles, lonely miles, that death brings... I'm too hurt to cry for what I'll never again touch Your birthday belongs to us so I'll always have days like today I'm a bit weak that you'll never hear how I love you so much But, it hurts to know your birthday is spent so far away... Your day, while away, takes the very life of me I don't even own the will anymore to laugh For, our once upon a time hits me as hard as stones So, will you ask God now if I can have you back?...

Saunni... your poem left me in tears...partially due to the fact that it is just written with such emotion and devotion for your Dad, but also partially because i lost my Mom when i was sixteen years old back in 1994...so this really hit home for me. i wish i had the right words to ease your pain but i know as well as anyone that sometimes words can't heal the holes that fill our hearts. just please know you and your dad are both in my prayers and thoughts. take care. amy  ps try to smile...i know it's hard. but try my friend. "you can't stop |

Sauuni darling girl oh how utterly unbearable is the pain written in this. If you should ever happen to lose the touch of your father I know that your soul would bleed for eternity. How heart wrenching this is, you’ve written the pain of this soooooo well. Take heart, there light beckons go forward to your destined fate, where you shine, I know it I   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 [This message has been edited by Marsha (03-20-2002 08:59 PM).] |

Noah, thank you dear friend for responding. I really needed it. You always have the words to pull me up from my lowest, as I am tonight. It took me all day to even get my nerve to write,and when I did, that's what came out. This could have been a better write, but I posted because there was no thought behind it but rather all heart talking. Thanks again. Aimster, thank you so much for reading this also. I know you know how I feel and for the life of me I keep wondering when this rain will be over. I think I've gone so long pretending I was ok, to find, I'm really, really missing him in everything I do.Thanks again. Sauni @~~~>~~ |

oh how utterly unbearable is the pain, your words exactly, Marsha, and is my heart right now. Thank you for reading this. I can't wait until I can find that light and just smile at what we had rather then cry for what we don't have anymore. Thanks again. Sauni @~~~>~~ |

when the words come out my friend. . . that's when they seem closer. . . from your heart. . . -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

~~sigh~~ I don't believe we ever truly stop mourning for the loved ones we have lost, but we can keep the best parts of that love alive in our memories and they always live in our hearts. I hope you can at least find peace one day dear! |
