SNOWFLAKES MAKE SUCH A SILENT SOUND



Snowflakes as tears make a silent sound
Today in my heart little solace is found
For I remember a much happier day
Sis and I outside in the snow would play
It's been a few years now Jeri passed away
On that cold January 17Th seems like yesterday
I remember Mom being so sick and tired
In the pain of deadly Cancer she was mired
On January 19 she too well have passed away
Two days after what once was the day of her birth
Those days she shared with us filled with mirth
As I look outside bitter snow is falling
From outside kids playing snowflakes calling
They say it is a record snow a foot or more
I just look outside this day sadly I ignore

ONE DAY A YEAR I SHED TEARS


Trillions of Stars painting the skies
Mere brushes for the Moon above
Beauty found in an Angel's eyes
Never dimming passion of Eternal love

God saith: "Forget her as love unbourne!"
For in your unmirrored eyes lays a fool
Especial are the Stars you must mourne
Falling from the skies in dazzling hues

From this Earth I take in glowing flame
Others left in the Galaxies to take their place
Tyne eyes, thine motion, but to hear thy name
Forever is the void no one can replace

I alone of my immediate family watch the snow
falling. Are these snowflakes or tears I'm bawling
Tomorrow I know I must forget and move on
But forgive me one day I feel I don't belong
