"23rd Psalm"
- A new interpretation-
Because the Lord is my Mum's shepherd
Mum now has everything she needs!
Right this very minute, she is resting in a
lush green pasture, beside a quiet stream.
All of her pain has been washed away
and she has received a new body.
Even though Mum walked through
the dark valley of death, she was not alone.
And she is not now and never will be afraid
because the Lord is right there with her
guiding her and comforting her
just as He is comforting me.
Mum is sitting at a table amongst all enemies
and she's being treated as an honoured guest.
Blessings are overflowing!
Surely goodness and mercy
will surround Mum every day!
And she will live in the Lord's house forever.
And that is where we will meet again,
WHEN IT IS TIME!

*That Wonderful Mother Of Mine*

The moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of that wonderful mother of mine.
The birds never sing but a message they bring
Of that wonderful mother of mine.

Just to bring back the time, that was so sweet to me,
Just to bring back the days, when I sat on her knee.
I pray ev'ry night to our Father above,
For that wonderful mother of mine.
I ask Him to keep her as long as He can
That -- wonderful mother of mine.
There are treasures on earth, that made life seem worthwhile,
But there's none can compare to my mother's smile.

You are a wonderful mother, dear old Mother of mine.
You'll hold a spot down deep in my heart,
Till the stars no longer shine.
Your soul shall live on forever,
On through the fields of time.
For there'll never be another to me,
Like that wonderful Mother of mine.

It’s so strange that those we need
And those we love the best
Are just the ones God called away
And took them home to rest
But every time we think of Mum
We seem to hear God say
Have faith and trust my promise
You’ll meet again some day..

A Letter to Mom
Dear Mom, I'd write a poem for you
If only I knew how
I'd write about your tender touch
Wisps of hair across your brow
The twinkle in your gentle eyes
The smile on your sweet lips
How you'd pretend to scold me
Your hands upon your hips

Oh how I miss the talks we had
The secrets we two shared
Oh how I miss just knowing
How very much you cared
I find myself still reaching ...
For the telephone ...
Then realize ... you are not there ..
And feel suddenly alone

I never got to say thank you ...
For all you did for me
Or tell you what is in my heart ...
And in my memory
Memories are bitter sweet ...
That's what the poets say
I wish I could write a poem for you
To say how much I love you Every Day!!

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

Never Alone
Never think you are on your own
I`d never let you walk alone
When you`re down and want to cry
Let it out, let your tears run dry,
I watch and guide you everyday
So that you can find your way
And when you`re down and in despair
Just call my name and i`ll be there,
Right by your side through good and bad
But you need never feel sad,
Until it`s time for your journey home
Just remember you`re not on your own
We`ll meet again sometime soon
And we`ll be together, like the stars and moon.

Missing My Mother My Friend

I lost a part of me today ...
I don't think the pain will end.
The world is a lonelier place to be
Without you in it, my friend.

The warmth that brought joy to all you met
The smile that lit up a room
The laughter that made everything seem all right
Have all been replaced ... silence ... gloom.

I won't say good bye, for we will meet again
In my heart I know that is true.
For now, Rest in Peace, in God's loving arms
While I,dear mum ... MISS YOU.xx

You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky
Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
We would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near
Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time
Many tears we have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
We know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain...

They say that life is fleeting,I know that this is True
I left this world so quickly,With no goodbye to you.
I know how much you miss me,Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head,Is wet with them At night.
I know your heart is hurting,The words we left unsaid
I love you's left unspoken,Are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried,That served to make You whole
Remains to make you stronger,Within your grieving Soul.
For you see while you were weeping,On the day I Passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers,Where my loved ones Knelt to pray.An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand,she led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.As I look down from the heaven
And see you standing there,Your heart so ever burdened
With more weight than it can bear.I long to bring you Comfort
I long to give you peace,I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.The joy I've found in Heaven,Goes far beyond compare.
The love that's so elusive,Can befound here Everywhere.
The light is softly shining,There's no storm clouds Here or rain
There's no teardrops found in heaven,There's no Suffering, there's no pain.You needn't be so
troubled
Stay close to God and pray,That someday we'll be Together
One bright and glorious day.So my love,you shouldn't Question,My dear you need not cry
I've gone to be with Jesus....I really didn't die.
*********************************
Another day goes by without you here
Alone without you i gently shed a tear
Looking at the mantle clock tick tock is all I hear
Time passes by I am so sad and need you near
I wish all the time that you would just reappear
All I hear these days the tick tock of the clock.

I’m looking at your photograph on the mantle piece
Thinking about you all the time your were so very sweet
I loved you with all my heart I loved you from the start
Wishing you were here with me why did we have to part.

The clock keeps ticking, the clock keeps chiming,
Your photograph on the mantle I am always admiring
I miss you’re smile, that you are wearing,
Why my darling why did you have to go, you were so caring
My heart its is broken please tell me I am dreaming.

Please tell me that I am dreaming and you didn’t leave me,
I love you every second every minute every hour of the day
My love is stronger than ever, every second that ticks away
Why did you have to go, Oh why couldn’t you just stay?
Love you and missing you every second every hour every day.

God gave me the strength
To face the sorrow
The courage to bear the blow.
For what it meant to lose you
Only He will ever know....
