In Loving Memory Of Barbara Jean Humphrey!!!
On Wednesday December 16 1998, my sister passed away.
No words can describe how it feels to lose a loved one.
I decided to dedicate a portions of this page to my sister.
I hope that wherever you are Barbara, you know
that you are truly missed and loved.
FOREVER


Forever in my heart
Forever on my mind,
It seems as if Forever
Ends in its due time.

For as we all are born
So we all must die,
Leaving friends and family
To wonder and question WHY.

Why are we even born?
Why does life have to end,
The biggest why I'd like to know
Why does life begin?

We are told we must accept
And we must go on,
To lean on each other
And not go it alone.

I never knew just how it felt
To lose someone you love,
To pray they went to heaven
And live with God above.

I still cannot believe it
It seem like a bad dream,
Why hasn't someone awakened me
Why is the world so mean?

I know that I'm not to question
Why He does what He does,
But that's exactly what I'm doing
'Cause He's taken someone I loved.

I'm trying not to worry
I'm trying to hold on,
I hope to see her once again
In the after life beyond.

DEATH


Death is like a thief
That robs you in the night,
It takes away a life
And then he quickly takes flight.

So silently he comes
And then he's quickly gone,
He comes to take away your soul
And carry it back home.

We don't know when he's coming
We don't know whom he'll take,
Just have yourself in order
Be right for goodness sake.

Because we don't know when or where
Live everyday as your last,
Live for the future in the present
We can't change our past.

Sometimes things happen in our lives
And we wonder why,
Sometimes the answers will never be known
Speculations may make you cry.

When you lose someone you love
You just try and remain strong,
'Cause life is for the living
And life must surely go on.

One thing that we must recognize
As hard as it may seem,
As sure as we're born we will die
Does the ends justify the means?

Maybe the Pearly Gates will be opened wide
Or maybe they will close,
We will have to wait and see
But God above already knows.

So let's live our life
As if each day is our last
Because we never know
When Deaths shadow will be cast.

Reflections

A full year has come and gone
Since I've seen your smiling face,
It's been tough some days
But I've handled it with grace.

I've come to accept the realization
That you're never coming back,
It was a tough pill to swallow
But I had to face the fact.

The picture of you smiling
Often flash through my mind,
What I wouldn't do to have had
Just a little more time.

Some days I really can't believe
That you are truly gone,
It seem like a big mistake
But no one can right the wrong.

I've prayed and asked the Lord
To guide and lead my way,
He's responded by showing me
That I'll see you again someday.
