| I know you had your faults..
I know you were silly at times.. I know you were sick... I know you were set in your ways.. I know you were stubborn, but a strong person because of it.. You were only human... It never stopped me from loving you. Your views on life were different from mine, I tried to distance myself from you, make myself different.. You are still within me..Now I realize its a good thing.. Dad kept us together,He stuck by you all these 34 years... I knew he loved you, you might have loved him more.. Just like your Song.. More than the greatest love you ever known... You are the reason I have my sense of humor, You kept me laughing with the songs you made up, From toilet humor, to just plain silly songs. You taught me its okay to be a kid, all your life..to have fun in life.. Because life is short. Your world was Dad..and Ally and I.. You loved your family, you missed your parents.. and your sister.. I know you were proud of me... because I have stuck to what I need to do.. when things go bad for me. You taught me my morals... you taught me love.. You taught me right from wrong, Why I never steal...why my faith is so strong. I know you worried about me not having social skills, because you did shelter me and Ally.. But thats what life is for, I learned that on my own. I know you were easy to please, you loved Dad, your Charlie perfume, your Diet Pepsi, Jesus. I tried to be a good daughter, in your eyes, I was.. My self issues wonder if I was.. but if you say I was..thats all I need. You were my mommy, I was your wiggleworm, your rosebud.. your first born.. Hats off to my Mother..the Futa Woman.. May you watch me now from above, with your family, finally together, much song and dance, and may you finally gaze upon your Lord..who never left your heart, along with his mother.. the one you had the vision of in your room so long ago. I love you Mommy.. Written 1/15/07 by Angela Rogers |
| The Rainbow Ride Written by Heidi Spitzer |
| All I ask is you do not tear
I haven't left you at all my dears. I have choosen to go on that last rainbow ride. But know I am always by your side. So many to greet me there at heavens gates. What a joyous reunion I await. I am coming home now to my lord. My spirit guided by a golden cord. The peace I feel on this painless ride. Into the heavens I reach the golden sky. Almost as if I had wings the rainbow guides me through the flight. I am home now but fear not you are always within my sight. The joy that awaits me here. So glorious, peaceful, please do not fear. We will be waiting for you when your time comes. But for now stay you are needed by someone. Oh the beauty of the reunion that will be. When you ride your rainbow to me. Oh the joy, the peace that will await you. The elation to see you come home. |

| Guardian Angel Prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear, To whom God's love committs me here, Ever this day be at my side, To light, to guard, to rule, and guide. From sinful stain Oh keep me free, And in each hour my helper be. |
