doubt sees the obstacles
faith sees the way
doubt sees the darkest night
faith sees the day
doubt dreads to take a step
faith soars on high
doubt questions who believes
faith answers I

My beloved MOM..
Forever Loved And Missed

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or it can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let her live on.

You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

note; the teddy bear because my mom loved and collected them, and the lily~of~the~valley flowers adorning the teddy bear were my mom's favorite flower. A teddy bear and lily~of~the~valley flowers were carved on my mom's stone per her request.

When you remember me..it means that you
have carried something of who I am with you,
that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are.
.
It means that you can summon me back to your mind,
even though countless years and miles may stand between us.
.
It means that if we meet again, you will know me,
and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
.
For as long as you remember me..I am never entirely lost.

A special time to honor our past and present soldiers and military personnel.

For their bravery and sacrifice so that we may continue to live in freedom here in these United States of America, and around the world.

Something so many still do not have.

I humbly say.. "THANK YOU."

May God Bless each and every one of those who have strived for, fought for, and alas! those who have died for..

FREEDOM

smile though your heart is aching
smile even though its breaking
when there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
if you smile through your fear and sorrow
smile and maybe tomorrow
you'll see the sun come shining through for you

light up your face with gladness
hide every trace of sadness
although a tear may ever be so near
that's the time you must keep on trying
smile, what's the use of crying?

that's the time you must keep on trying
smile, what's the use of crying?
you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile

imagine there's no heaven
it's easy if you try
no hell below us
above us only sky
imagine all the people
living for today

imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
nothing to kill or die for
and no religion too
imagine all the people
living life in peace

you may say that i'm a dreamer
but i'm not the only one
i hope someday you'll join us
and the world will be as one

imagine no possessions
i wonder if you can
no need for greed or hunger
a brotherhood of man
imagine all the people
sharing all the world

you may say that i'm a dreamer
but i'm not the only one
i hope someday you'll join us
and the world will live as one

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets..
so love the folks who treat you right
pray for the ones who don't,
and believe that everything happens for a reason.
God never said that life would be easy,
he just promised it would be worth it.

Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul,
and sings the tune--without the words,
and never stops at all.

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
and sore must be the storm
that could abash the little bird
that kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land
and on the strangest sea;
yet, never, in extremity,
it asked a crumb of me.
