**About two months ago, I began the search for my biological parents. In doing so, I have both began a journey of healing, but also brought back much pain, a pain that really never goes away...the loss of my adopted Mother.

This is dedicated to her, for all of the love she gave me, all the times she held me, all the right she made in my world, and for all the good she continues to do from way up in the vast blue sky! The ocean was her favorite place to be, and she was buried near the water. It is now a place of peace for me, and I visit as often as I can.
Merry Christmas Mom. You are so very missed and so very much loved!

Rain to Snow

I took a walk along the shore today
Looking out at ocean blue
Tears slowly fell down my cheeks
As I thought of you

Here we are closely approaching Christmas
But you are high above
I've walked this path before
Again I send you all my love

You've forever left me with your grace
When the pain becomes too much
I remember the words you said
Recalling the gentle embrace of your touch

Gently it begins to rain
I toss a pebble or two out to sea
Deep inside I feel your spirit
It helps to heal me

I've taken such a long rocky journey
Witnessed so many things with these sad eyes
But the hardest thing I ever had to do
Was to tell you Good-bye

It's taken me almost ten years
To learn that it's okay to let you go
As I start to turn around home
The rain softly turns to snow

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
