You had meant so much to me;

for you had been the only man

who had cared for me.

I thought you would be here;

but God did not see it that way.

For he took the angel

that he had sent down to me

so long ago. .

back up to Heaven to stay.

I was never the same. .

after you went away.

Things were over too soon. .

I had wanted for you to stay.

You had always meant so very much.

It has been thirty-four years. .

but I still long for my father's

loving touch.

Dear mother,

an angel

from Heaven.

Long ago,

she found me

unwanted

Took me home,

and loved me

like she should.

I never had

love before

or a home.

She treated me

like her child;

wanted me.

Means so much,

she grows old,

and too soon.

Her brown eyes,

showed her love

for her girl.

Is the sun,

brightens me

when so sad.

Forever,

love you, my

special one.
