I'm Here for you

I'm Here for you
Just a little note to say
I think about you every day
And know the grief
That seems to fill each part
Of your aching, hurting heart.
But know that it will lessen soon
And for joy again there will be room.
For your peace and joy to returnI
s the day for which I yearn
And oh, how blessed that day will be
When your sweet smile again, I see.

When people make you cry

When people make you cry, forgive them
For they are the losers in the end
They have missed a chance to encourage
A truly wonderful friend.
When family makes you cry
It is really sad to say
There's nothing you can do
If they are prone to be that way!
Just love them anyway
And make it a point to be
Always the first with love
At any opportunity!
And even if it seems to be
A losing battle to you now
You will be the winner in the end
Some day, somewhere ...somehow!
Never rush to be the one
Who has the cutting remark
But rather be the one to rush ahead
To help heal a hurting heart!

My Guy...Teen Son

My Guy...Teen Son
My Guy is fearless
He's handsome and smart
He also holds a special place
In his mother's heart.
Sometimes I feel all mushy
And full of motherly pride
But I try to not over do the praise
And just enjoy the things
I feel inside.
Someday when he's older
Maybe I will tell him how I feel
When it won't embarrass him
When my heart I can reveal.
But now I don't want to ruin his image
And make kids think he's a wimp
Whose Mom is overly mushy or proud
And I carefully weigh the things I say
................outloud.
