Uninspired

Sometimes I feel lost, disconnected,

Sometimes disillusioned,

I know I should not,

That God guides my path,

With His mighty hand.

Why do we stumble, struggle?

Why do we have to endure hard times?

Well, it is a fallen world after all...

Yet in You we abide, oh Lord?

When we were young, 

Full of hope, full of trust, 

Now, how do we cope?

Let it out, speak it out.

Hold my hand oh God,

Lift me high again,

To see the promises you have made,

To see the plans you have laid.

Mother, Mom, Mommy

What a privilege,
What a joy,
A lifetime of love,
To enjoy!

Keep them close,
Your little ones,
One day they will go,
And be bigger ones.

Your job will be harder,
When they are not closeby,
Your worry will be greater,
When not in your watchful eye.

Such an all-consuming love,
For these tiny people,
The Lord gave you them to guide,
He makes all things possible.

One Lonely day

One lonely morning,
One emotional day,
One painful memory,
Fading away.

Years pass by,
A new life, new family,
One longing still there,
One hope that I still share.

That Fatherly care,
Strong arms holding,
Wake me up from a dream,
Imagining again it would seem...

Gone but never forgotten.

Gone but never forgotten

It is a sad day,
For those left behind,
It will forever be,
Burned in our minds.

But truly we should remember,
The beautiful family fun,
The wonderful Father,
The loving husband and son.

Shaun was an amazing man,
Brother and friend,
To those who knew and loved him,
A prayer of courage and strength.

May the Lord hold you close,
May He envelope you in His love,
May He keep you in comfort,
And shine His light down from above.

All our love Corrinne, Duncan, Dylan and Hannah

Dylan

My strong, happy, kind boy,
You are an example.
You take pleasure in sharing,
A piece of cake with your friend,
A sweet here and there.

Full of confidence and joy,
Energy abounds in you.
You are such a sturdy rock,
That Hannah can grasp hold of,
When she is about to fall.

You are my delight,
And with each passing day,
You astound me more,
With all you know,
And how you continue to grow.

I am so blessed with a wonderful son.

Hannah

Tiny hands,
Grasp mine,
Expectant eyes,
Hold my gaze,
Laughter and smiles,
Giggles and wriggles.

A miracle you are,
A blessing from afar,
You are my light,
In the dark of night,
And a ray of sunshine,
When storm clouds are near.

I love you with so much of me,
It hurts to think one day,
You'll be so grown-up,
And leave to go your own way.

Oh how I cherish these few moments,
That are your baby years.
