Words are but dust in the roaring wind
When they try to bring you relief
And thoughts are but straws on the raging
sea
When they seek to soothe your grief
But love is a list in the lonely night
To give comfort and show you the
way
And faith is a rock on which hope is built
That you'll meet again someday
Another Mother's Day
But a different one this year
For you see, I am a mother
but my child isn't here
I
am a mother who is hurting
for this child who was so dear
As I face this and other occasions
each and every year
I am a mother who feels an emptiness
over and over again
Because I miss THIS child
and all that could've
been
I am a mother who cared
as I watched my child grow
and truly loved him more
than anyone will ever
know
I am a mother who has memories
and many tears to cry
over regrets that I'll have to live with
until
the day I die
Caitlin Remembered
A tiny child pink and new
Talking when she's one
The little girl who laughed all day
Playing in the sun.
The schoolgirl in her uniform
The skater in the show
Backyard gymnast in the air
Those
hugs that don't let go.
And then a teen who liked to dream
Til shadows crossed her sky
Within her world an aching
girl
And no one told her why.
She did all that they told her to
The sun still turned to rain
How hard she
tried, how much she cried
She smiled to hide her pain.
She danced as fast as she could dance
She gave her heart
away
If we could have just one more chance
To love her here today.

Because you can't feel me
Doesn't mean I am not there
Because you can't see me
Doesn't mean I am not near
Because
you can't hear me
Doesn't mean I don't speak
Because you can't see me
Doesn't mean I am out of reach
Because
I am dead
Doesn't mean I am gone
Dear mommy,
I wish you a happy mothers day
from my new home above
A wish that's specially for you
One filled
with all my love
I love both you and Daddy
and miss you so much too
Even in the dark of night
I'm watching
over you
I know it's the first mothers day
you've had since I've been gone
My hope and prayer is that you'll
know
my love still carries on
Although I cannot be there now
on this your specail day
your memories and
love we shared
deep in your heart will stay
I'll help you in the garden
I'll help plant flowers too
And
when the flowers seem so bright
I'll look at them with you
God keep you dearest mommy
He'll help you through
your pain
And one day, I know for sure
I'll see you once again
