In Memory of My Mother
By Michael Himes
These are the tears
of every apology
I never got to make
thru the years
you wouldn’t even talk to me
hear what I’ve got to say
now your gone
and I won’t get
another chance
to say these words
But Mom
I love you
no matter what
despite all the hurt
despite all the hurt~
We all make bad decisions
it’s a fact of life
but eventually one wrong turn
can be made back right
we all deserve a second chance
a million times
if we show that we’re willing
to try to do what’s right
These are the tears
of every apology
I never got to make
thru the years
you wouldn’t even talk to me
hear what I’ve got to say
now your gone
and I won’t get
another chance
to say these words
But Mom
I love you
no matter what
despite all the hurt
despite all the hurt~
It’s not my place to judge anyone
for anything they might have done
we never know the circumstances
that cause such choices
to become what happens
being righteous isn’t always easy
but it’s always right that’s true
you never know the choice you’ll make
till your feet are in their shoes
These are the tears
of every apology
I never got to make
thru the years
you wouldn’t even talk to me
hear what I’ve got to say
now your gone
and I won’t get
another chance
to say these words
But Mom
I love you
no matter what
despite all the hurt
despite all the hurt~
Getting Better
By Michael Himes
A mind undefined
by the sources from outside
who in time would contrive
your perception of what’s right
based on civilized standards
that were presented by the flawed
when your soul is soo pure
from the beginning made by GOD
Life is perfect so delight
in all the blessings that you have
despite what you’re going through
even when you don’t understand
the universe will never give you
anymore than you can take
just when you feel you’re on the verge
of complete and total break
along comes a sign
that the darkness leads to day
and that there’s strength still inside you
that there IS a saving grace
you are loved beyond measure
more than you will ever know
all you have to have is faith
that these things will pass on too!
