My mother wrote this poem for me before she died... please dont not rip it or copy it without using her name.. Shirley Henley. Thank You.. Patty
==================================================
As I watched the tiny humming bird I could feel him watching me-
My eyes were wide with wonder as it flew from tree to tree.
He said you're like that tiny bird -
so little and so fast,
But stay with me a little while,
that's all I'll ever ask.
I promise i wont clip your wings, someday I'll let you fly.
she smiled- and placed a kiss upom the wind-
If you can catch and hold that kiss, I'll stay with you my friend.
I would like to stay and share your life,
but i cannot you see. I'm not like that tiny bird, that little bird's
like me.
Life is full of wonders, I feel that I must try
and if I let you hold me down I know that I shall die.
I sit and dream of the things I'll do
and all the things I want to be.
If only mom would let me go
someday and let me see.
But mom says life should not be hurried
so for now I have to wait,
for the love I know is standing just outside the garden gate
today I took another step that will lead me closer to the day
when the door will open wider and I'll hear my mother say...
The time is coming closer I must open up my hand
and let you go into a world that I no longer understand.
But your dreams will still reamain the same no matter what the cost
and so I open up my hand and let you walk across...
My heart it seems is breaking as you run on down the path-
to where your love and life is waiting
and
I hope all your dreams come true.
Just know when you start down that road-
if you should turn back
the door is always open if only just a crack.
I know love for you is waiting somewhere just along the bend.
Love is like a garden if you tend it gently, it will blossom,
it will grow.
untill you are surrounded by love and joy untold.
So walk on down the path of life
just remember as you do.
my love is always waiting
here at home for you...
To: Patty
I LOVE YOU!!
Mom
