If I could speak, I would tell you how the light shining through giant acacia trees is like heaven kissing my tender cheeks.
If I could speak, I would tell you how birds soaring, landing and once again taking flight stupefy my mind.
If I could speak, I would tell you how the leaves floating in the wind is like me dancing to the trumpets of cherubim
If I could speak, I would tell you how the feel of the grass, the morning dew and its dry roughness in the afternoon sun comfort my restless feet.
If I could speak, I would tell you how the wind blowing on our faces is the Universe breathing, telling the truth of our stories.
If I could speak, I would tell you how water calms my soul, soothes the chaos in my mind and that is why I play with it, sprinkle it, splash in it, taste it, feel it running through my fingers, because it purifies my spirit.
If I could speak, I would tell you the waves talk to me like an old friend, that the sound it makes crashing to the shores is sweet, sweet music to my ears.
If I could speak, I would tell you that God loves me and you so much, that he gives us the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind, the skies and all of the earth. So how can we not marvel at this beautiful miracle called life?
If I could speak, I would tell you how much I love you, Mama and Papa. And I would tell you every single day that you did good. And all that you have given me, all that you are to me is more than enough.
And if I could speak, I would tell you, in not so many words but in a language that is strong, simple, loud and clear, how much I love you, in the most gentle of kisses, in an embrace so tight as I serenade you with the most beautiful songs borne out of my heart, all the days of our lives...

Grace, Hope, Faith
Tonight I pray for
Grace,hope, faith
Let me not lose sight
of the bigger purpose
I look at your eyes so gentle
and all I can utter over and over
is I love you,
I love you, I love you
When all seems lost
You smile at me
lashes flickering
Eyes twinkling
You hold my face
in the gentlest of gaze
brushing my hair
behind my ear
You embrace me tight
as if I am the child
and kiss my tears away
"Mama", you say
With this
the world floats away
the storms cease
and life is beautiful once again
And so today, and everyday
Grace, I pray, grace
to endure, to stand firm
to hope and be strong
For my little prince
and feisty king
my heaven-sent
my cherubim
my Morgan, my Garret...
Grace,hope, faith
Let me not lose sight
of the bigger purpose
I look at your eyes so gentle
and all I can utter over and over
is I love you,
I love you, I love you
When all seems lost
You smile at me
lashes flickering
Eyes twinkling
You hold my face
in the gentlest of gaze
brushing my hair
behind my ear
You embrace me tight
as if I am the child
and kiss my tears away
"Mama", you say
With this
the world floats away
the storms cease
and life is beautiful once again
And so today, and everyday
Grace, I pray, grace
to endure, to stand firm
to hope and be strong
For my little prince
and feisty king
my heaven-sent
my cherubim
my Morgan, my Garret...
My Lifeline
Another life I once lived
Another dream I once dreamed
Now this
My true bliss
Morgan and Garret
My eternal gratitude
To the heavens above
The purest laughter for even
The slightest happy memory
My answered prayer
My joyful anticipation of everyday
When I see you both
my boys
all I am able
To say over and over is
I love you, I love you, I love you…
Like a perpetual knot in my heart
My lifeline
My redemption.
Another dream I once dreamed
Now this
My true bliss
Morgan and Garret
My eternal gratitude
To the heavens above
The purest laughter for even
The slightest happy memory
My answered prayer
My joyful anticipation of everyday
When I see you both
my boys
all I am able
To say over and over is
I love you, I love you, I love you…
Like a perpetual knot in my heart
My lifeline
My redemption.
