The Inheritance My child I leave you not a cent inherited from me. I leave a greater wealth that lasts through out eternity. I pray that wisdom fills your mind that you may always know which way to turn and what to do wherever you may go. May you have a gift of sight that always lights your way and have no fear of darkness as you live from day to day. I pray the courage in your soul will outweigh any strife. And may it be forever so in each day of your life. If God will bless you with strong will then may you take a stand defending what you know is right and fear not any hand. May you learn that you can love if this you want to do. Then may you find that love is kind and always blesses you. Love and faith and loyalty I'd have you cherish so. Then when you face eternity in God's hands may you go. This is all that I can do. But I could do no less. I pray that God watch over you and grant you happiness. ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more?

Ohme, this is superb!! You could leave them nothing finer in the world than these mere words. Go into an art programme, make it up, print it out and frame it, this is simple wonderful ------------------ The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate. ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

OhMe - This is a wonderful legacy to leave. Worth more than silver or gold ... and less likely to be tarnished by life. What a beautiful poem ... from a beautiful mother's heart. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, these words were certainly from the heart. WhtDove, I did. I posted one not long ago. Not sure if it fits the needs of the forum but looked like it would, so I did. Thanks for the invitation! ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me, it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday! |

Just beyond the stars, my spirit waits for you Above the horizon, where the light beams thru As I wait and wonder, how long it might be I bask in the light of the love that set me free Looking at the colours, enchanted by the shine I thank God above, he put your heart in mine I miss you Mother and I am so glad to find you here Work like money doesn't matter, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching... |
