Remembering You

 


Birthdays were special to you
Anniversaries were special to you
Visitors were special to you
Christmas too.
Remembering you, remembering you.


Art was special to you
Music was special to you
Cooking was special to you
Christmas too.
Remembering you, remembering you.



Laughter was special to you
Praise and worship were special to you
Reaching out was special to you
Christmas too.
Remembering you, remembering you.


Your mom was special to you
Your sisters were special to you
Your wife and children were special to you
Christmas too.
Remembering you, remembering you.


Friends and relatives were special to you
Coworkers were special to you
Everyone you met in your life was special to you
Christmas too.
Remembering you, remembering you.


Pets were special to you
Plants were special to you
Truly there was no living thing that was not special to you
Christmas too.
Remembering you, remembering you.


Remembering you this Christmas, David, and blowing kisses Heavenwards to you. There is a David-sized hole in our hearts and in our lives, which reminds us of everything that was special to you, and everything that was special about you.

Fog Outside, Brightness Within

 


Fog outside, brightness within

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Waking up refreshed

Ready to give the day your best

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Stepping out of bed

With a clear and sharp head

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Enjoying the break of dawn

Savoring the early morn

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Brushing your hair

Meditating, or saying a prayer

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Bed done, a hot cup of coffee or tea

Soft music, or silence and complete serenity

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Time squarely on your side

Maybe you can even go for a walk, run, or ride

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Fog outside, brightness within

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin


Waking up refreshed

Ready to give the day your best

This is how the day should begin

This is how the day should begin
