In Memory of my Mom, Doreen Beckett who passed away Monday July 19, 2004

Sunday afternoon we spoke
With a sadness in your voice
You knew the end was coming
and you didn’t have a choice

you spoke of all the things you’d miss
and how you loved us all
I told you not to give up
I was thankful for it all

I know now that as you faced the end
and held your memories close
The love that you felt for all of us
Is what always mattered most

If we could wave a magic wand
And make a wish come true
There's just one thing that we could want
One more day with you...

To laugh and cry with those you love
Totally free from pain,
How happy that would make us
If we could bring you home again...

They say that time heals everything
But is this really true?
I don’t think I will ever get over
The pain of losing you…
