"MY MOM IS A SURVIVOR"

My mom is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night,
when all other are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night,
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her,
to help to understand.
But like the sand on the beach,
that never washes away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others..
a smile of disguise!
but through heaven's door I see,
my mom tries to cope with death,
to keep my memory alive,
but anyone who knows her knows,
It is the way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom,
through heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels,
protect me forever more.
I know that doesn't help her..
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get the chance, go and visit her,
and show her that you care.,
for no matter what she says...
no matter what she feels,
my surviving mom has a broken heart,
that time won't ever heal.
LOVE you MOM. 



"MY DAD IS A SURVIVOR"
 
My Dad is a survivor too
which is not a surprise to me.
He's allways been like a lighthouse
that helps you across a stormy sea.

But, I walk with my Dad each day
to lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others,
he cries when no one is around.

I watch him sit up late at night
with my picture in his hands.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
and wish he could understand.

My Dad is like a tower of strengh
he's the greatest of them all!
but, there are times when he need to cry...
please be there when he falls.

Hold his hand and pat his shoulder..
and tell him It's Okey.
be his strength when he is sad,
help him mourn in his own way.

Now as I watch over my precious Dad,
from heaven up above...
I'm so proud he's a survivor...
and, I can still feel his love.
