Protection






by Mary Guimont


I see the tears fall softly down upon your face
And my own heart begins to brake.

I want to protect you and keep you safe.
From life's pain and heartache.
But in order to laugh you have to cry.
In order to live you have to die.

The happiness and laughter children know
Does not last as they grow.
The happiness you have today

Is gone tomorrow
it is not yours to keep
but only to borrow.

I can not protect you from the pain
As the seasons of your life take change

 But I can lend a hand, a shoulder

And be your friend.
Nourish your soul
until your heart mends

Then all of a sudden he speaks to my heart from a whisper within my soul. That tells me what I long to know. That my life was made from the same beauty as the moon and the stars. I see my life and the four seaso...

In My Dreams

By Mary Guimont Last night I saw him. Beautiful smile, beautiful grin. He was alive and well in my dream I had yesterday again as though it seem Could this really be? Or did my imagination get the best of me? Upon seeing him I tried to hide. The lack of faith that I held inside. But when my eyes met his. They would not conceal. The doubt of faith that I feel. What dose it take? For one to believe, That life goes on That we never leave? That if we look. We will find. Those we love. Do not leave us behind. Not far from here They are all near. But doubt in our heart. Deny in our mind; A different place A different time. Yes, in my dream he did appear. To tell me he'd always been here. And that there was no reason to cry. That in death we do not really die. And in my dream he did show. That death comes for us to grow That it's n...
