In memory of Nana,

If I had one lifetime wish,
And dreams that could come true.
I would pray to God,
With all my heart,
for yesterday and you.
If teardrops were a stairway
And memories a lane,
I would walk all the way to Heaven
And bring you back again.
A thousand prayers can't bring you back,
I know because I"ve tried.
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I"ve cried.
You left behind my broken heart
And a million dreams for you.
But I never wanted dreams,
I only wanted you.

After Glow

I’d like the memory of me

to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an after glow

of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times and laughing times

and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve,

to dry before the sun

of happy memories

that I leave when life is done.
