The dust has settled on the thingsThat I have stored awayA favorite toy, for little boyA jar of dried out clay.A photograph when you were youngSits quietly on the shelfThoughts of you come drifting backI just can't help myself.A drawing that you made for meWhen you were very smallIs framed within this heart of mineand hangs upon the wall.A scrapbook lies within the roomWhere you once laid your heardYour favorite book, a model carThe pillow on your bed.I miss you coming in from school"Hey mom, it's me, I'm home"I miss the little words and hugsThe special times we've known.A part pf me just disappearedThe day you went awayAn empty space now fills my heartThere are no words to say.A closet filled with memoriesOf happy days gone byA baseball cap and souvenirWhy did you have to die?The trophies that you won at schoolStand proudly on displayYour many friends can't understandWhy God called you away.I hear your voice within the wallsIt echoes in the nightI see you in the evening mistAnd in the morning light.So many things you left behindAre now a memoryBut little arms that held me tightWill always stay with me.An empty space now fills my heartMy boy, my child, my sonYou've gone into another worldWhere golden dreams are spun.I do not know the answersIt's not for me to knowBut I will know the truth one dayJust why you had to go.My turn will come to leave this worldI'll goze into your eyesGod's perfect plan will be revealedUp there in paradise.Author Marilyn Ferguson.Love You My Son, Forever Mom..

"A Fallen Limb"
A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I hear a voice that whispers "grieve not for me"
Remember the best times, the laugther, the songs.
The good I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage; I'm counting on you,
Keep on smiling, the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all..how I was truly blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don't stare at the wall.
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,
Until that fine day, we're together again,
and what a joy that will be.
God bless you my son, my beloved Dino. MOM..
