For Jason

You never said "I'm leaving"

You never said "Goodbye"

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knew why

A million times I needed you

A million times I cried

If love alone could have saved you

You never would have died

In life I loved you dearly

In death I love you still

In my heart you hold a place

That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you

But you didn't go alone

For part of me went with you

The day God called you home

Love,

Mom

He Only Took My Hand

Last night while I was trying to sleep,

My son's voice I did hear.

I opened my eyes and looked around,

But he did not appear.

He said "Mom you've got to listen,

You've got to understand.

God didn't take me from you, Mom

He only took my hand."

When I called out in pain that night,

The instant that I died,

He reached down and took my hand,

And pulled me to His side.

He pulled me up and saved me

From the misery and pain.

My body was hurt so badly inside,

I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,

I've found happiness within.

All the answers to my empty dreams

And all that might have been.

I love you all and miss you so

And I'll always be nearby.

My body's gone forever

But my spirit will never die!

And so, you must all go on now,

Live one day at a time

Just understand-

God did not take me from you,

He only took my hand
