We
Have A Secret
(Author
Unknown)
We have a secret,
you and I
that no one else
shall know
for who but I can
see you lie
each night in fire
glow?
And who but I can
reach my hand
before we go to
bed
and feel the living
warmth of you
and touch your silken
head?
And only I walk
woodland paths
and see ahead of
me
your small form
racing with the wind
so young again,
and free.
And only I can see
you swim
in every brook I
pass...
and when I call
no one but I
can see the bending
grass.
Littlest
Angel Of Mine
(Terri
Onorato)
I was adrift on
waves of feelings
swirling circles
about my mind
wondering if I had
the strength
to decide it was
your time.
Did I have the right
to make this choice
that would change
our lives forever,
did I have the will
to sacrifice
our precious time
together?
Was I wrong in thinking
of myself
while you grew so
frail and weak,
was I selfish in
my desperate need
to have you here
with me to keep?
Into your bright
green eyes I searched
and found within
your soul,
the echo of a far-seen
wisdom,
the kind which only
angels know.
You gently rocked
my broken heart
and with angelic
calm
you lifted all the
guilt I felt
for wanting to hold
on.
You showed me that
the choice with which
I felt so wrecked
and torn
lay upon a path
God paved
the day that you
were born.
Somehow you made
me understand
the choice was never
mine,
it had been appointed
long before,
in another place
and time.
So as I lay you
down to sleep
your eternal spirit
shines
and our paths will
cross again someday
littlest angel of
mine.
