Amy's Note: my dad met a wonderful lady named Susan about a year ago. My Mom's death needless to say hit my family very hard. It was a long four and a half years until love came into our lives once more. And I just wanted to take a moment to share this Angel of a woman with all of you. Susan Amy M Kennedy Time goes by in a flash, the day has come and gone And I realize, there is still so much to say Susan, I am glad you are a part of our lives...this is where you belong You make my dad happy, and bring joy into our lives...please always stay When my Mom was taken into heaven...the sky turned dark and gray The light in my heart went out, and the rain did pour But I realize I love you more each and every single day You make us smile, you make my life happy, you allow all our souls to soar Your life has been hard, I know and feel your deep pain I know I'm not your daughter by birth, and your in our life by choice Your kids live in another state, and I know it's not the same But I smile when I wake up in the morning, and I hear your voice You have a heart of pure gold, and a smile that lights up the sky With just a touch of your hand, you let me know things will be okay I value our talks, your wisdom and advice, that is no lie Your love pours out for us in all that you do, in your own special way And while you are not my Mom, you are turning out to be a best friend And I simply wanted to let you know, I thank God you are here For without you our world would be dark, and our hearts wouldn't mend With you in our lives, we no longer shed a tear I think my Mom hand-picked you from the heavens above She knew from the start that you would be what we would need From day one our friendship has grown and blossomed into love And now a beautiful garden has blossomed, all from a single seed. If you ever need a hand or someone to cheer you up, feel free to call on me When you go I miss you, and I can't wait till you come back So I know forever a bond you and I will share And if you need a friend, please know I love you and I will always care. |
