The Dance
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
-Garth Brooks
I could not ask for more
Lying here with you • Listening to the rain • Smiling just to see the smile upon your face • These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive • These are the moments • I'll remember all my life • I found all I've waited for • And I could not ask for more • Looking in your eyes • Seeing all I need • Everything you are is everything to me • These are the moments • I know heaven must exist • These are the moments I know all I need is this • I have all I've waited for • And I could not ask for more • I could not ask for more than this time together • I could not ask for more than this time with you • Every prayer has been answered • Every dream I have's come true • And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be • Here with you here with me • These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive • These are the moments I'll remember all my life • I've got all I've waited for • And I could not ask for more • Chorus • I could not ask for more than the love you give me 'Coz it's all I've waited for • And I could not ask for more • I could not ask for more
-Edwin Mcain From Lissa
Family
The two-minute hug with a squeeze at the end
The smile with a tear drop that echoes amen
Voiceless words conveyed through a glance or a stare
"I'll do it" tells me how much that you care
Details define us, always in sync with a smile
My memory is vivid as I ponder awhile
Spaces between teardrops breaths laughter anew
"Member when...?" reminds me of how much I love you
All through the years, I have truly been blessed
You'll never understand how much you're the best
Family is hero, companion and friend
You are my family from now until end
Autie Sue
Remembering
Go ahead and mention my child,
the one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further
the depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
the tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent
pretending it doesn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my child
knowing that he has been missed.
You asked me how I'm doing.
I say "pretty good" or "fine."
But healing is something on-going,
I feel it will take a lifetime.

Tyler Ballou
You really know how to choose the fun things to do
Like picking up toys from the bottom of a pool
And swimming in the hot tub too,
And that’s why you’re so cool Tyler Ballou
Tyler Ballou
Let’s get some hot wheels track laid out
We’ll cruise around and around
We can take turns driving right through hot wheels town
And play station’s always on
It’s calling your name
It’s your favorite game to play
Again and again and then again and win again
You really know how to choose the fun things to do
Like picking up toys from the bottom a pool
And swimming in the hot tub too,
And that’s why you’re so cool Tyler Ballou
Tyler says any thing purple or blue that’s cool, ‘cause they’re my favorite colors
But don’t you mess around with my red school
And I love having fun with Brandon and Garret
They’re the best of brothers
And my dog Sheba
And all my cousins too
Hey lets stop by Mickey’s house
Say hi to Pluto, Goofy, Donald, Daisy
And just keep on waving
Cause there’s Minnie and Winnie the pooh and Jiminy cricket too
Tyler Ballou
You really brighten the room every time you smile
Spreading your love through your eyes as they shine
We know we can depend on you
And that’s why we love you Tyler Ballou
A room with a view
They gave you a corner room on the fifth floor
The city lights were like candy to a kid in a store
Like a king you'd lay in your bed so statefully
So thankful they gave you a room with scenery
You were always were so healthy, so full of life
So seeing you so helpless just didn't seem right
And how you kept your head so high I'll never know
I guess you knew you had a better place to go
Now...
You've got a room with a view
A window to the world
You always had your sights set high
And now that you're gone
Your memory lives on
And I see you smiling in my mind
With angels as visitors dropping by
Your room with a view
I'll always miss you
I'll always feel the loss
I have to remind myself that you're better off
I gotta believe even through these tears of mine
Wherever you are there's a sun that always shines
And...
You've got a room with a view
A window to the world
You always had your sights set high
And now that you're gone
Your memory lives on
And I see you smiling in my mind
With angels as visitors dropping by
Your room with a view
With angels as viitors dropping by
Your room with a view
(Carolyn Dawn Johnson) From Donna
Godspeed (Sweet dreams)
Dragon tails and the water is wide
Pirates sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moon bite moon beams every night
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet dreams little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel’s wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman’s in pajamas on the couch
Good night moon will find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet dreams little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel’s wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears amen wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet dreams little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel’s wings
Godspeed…
Sweet dreams
(The Dixie Chicks)
His boys were always there
When he was happy and wanted to play, his boys were always there
When he was grumpy and wanted to pout, his boys were always there
When he felt sick and couldn't play, his boys were always there
When he was in the hospital and couldn’t come home, his boys were always there
When he needed a partner for a video game, his boys were always there
When his body could no longer fight, his boys were always there
Now he needs someone to take care of his mommie and his boys are always there
Now he needs someone to look after his daddy and his boys are always there
His brothers will always be his boys and they are always there
What Cancer Cannot Do
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.

Something He Would Have Said
I was in this World for only a very short time
And before I could see all that was meant to see
Our Lord sent a messenger to retrieve me
For reasons known only to him and me
I didn't mean to bring you much pain and sorrow
But - Please try not to worry for really I'm Ok
For I no longer suffer any physical disorders
Through the Heavens I now can run and play
Besides - Our separation is only temporary
For Judgment Day is soon to be
And then you'll see someone run up to you
With open arms
And that someone will be me
