Since so many have written and asked what this piece means, I think it needs an explaination. I wrote this in memory of my son, Brian, who died of congestive heart failure at the age of six months. Today is Brian's birthday. He would have been 15 years old. This piece is about letting go of the sadness, letting go of Brian and releasing him to a Higher Power, a better place and wishing him well on that journey. It is also about being thankful that God chose me to give birth to one of His angels.
Today I set you free
to be who you need to be
Our paths crossed
In a magical place
It was the perfect choice
But your heart was too fragile
Our destination was not meant to be
Day by day, reflections
Of us in shattered glass
This is a place I can never return
Our destiny was never meant to be
Poems of love will now fade
Trails of tears will be distant
In the oasis two soul mates
Stand with faces silent
The thunder of forgotten dreams
Will now sound throughout infinite
May you be at peace
Under a gossamer sky
And fly on the wings of an angel
Throughout your journey
