They were our teachers
and they were our guides
They were there when we were sick
and they were there when we cried
And if we stumbled
they would pick us up
and if we just wanted
to share a conversation
they were always there
to listen and give advice
They were our parents
And they were supportive and kind
but more then anything
they were always on our side
guiding us and leading us in the right direction
But I have to admit right now
That the emptiness that I feel
and the sorrows that I face
each and every day
Makes the days and months and years seem longer
Because of the love that I carry inside my heart
for both my mom and dad
They were my parents
And the hearts of my mom and dad
will always love me
Even in spirit
Because they are my guardian angels now
And now that they have both been in heaven
for such a long time
I have to remind myself to remain strong
You know many days have passed
And many months and years have gone by
But I continue to carry on
in there name with pride
And I know that some day
we will all be reunited with our loved ones
And I know when that time comes
That we wont feel sad anymore
Especially on there birthdays and on holidays
when they are missed the most
And I have to admit
I miss the times we could share
talking on the phone
And I miss the times when I was invited over for dinner
the conversations
were a blessing
and the meals were unforgettable
Those of you
who have lost your loved ones
I feel for you completely
I understand what you are going through
Try and let there memories live on
And be proud that you were loved the way you were
Because it is the greatest blessing of all.
I was adopted
So I am completely humbled and blessed
for the many years that I was loved unconditionally
And I want to remind others
who still have there mom and dad
to be proud that they are still alive
to nurture you
and to guide you
and to be supportive when you need it most
Because there will come a time when they will go to heaven too.
So enjoy there blessings each and every
day
So that you will have cherished memories like I do
God bless you.
