Coping & Healing

My love for you is beyond anything I have ever felt

Every time I look into your eyes, I melt

I know these years have been hard for you 

Mama has missed out on your lives as you grew

I wish I could take back all those years

And start over again without all the fears

When Kristen died, I thought I’d lost my mind

I cried and cried and yearned and pined

My heart was ripped out and shattered

It felt as if I had just been battered

It’s taken time and work to help me again feel ‘whole’

The light in your eyes has guided me to my soul

Kevin and Brian, never lose sight of your own light

It is the essence and power of your being and might

No matter what you face in future years

Meet it with dignity, integrity, and calmed fears

With God’s love and guidance, be all that you are meant to be

Be true to yourselves, share your love and you will see

How full and rich your lives will be

With all my love… mama
