upon a star,

for the gift of time.

Time to see my daughtergrow up,

my husband grow old

and watch my dreams come true,

for time to share love with my family,

for time to grow ever closer to my parents,

for the time to give and recieve the gift of love that bless my life,

provide me with hope and

allow me to dream big.

One day I woke up

my feelings- they felt all strange.

I paced around

-thinking curious and wondering-

What was going on inside my head?

Why am I so unable to explain them?

 

Then instead of looking to the inside

I began to look around

I looked into my daughter's eyes

and saw straight into her heart

a love I allways knew was there

I found inside of me

I looked next into my husband's eyes

and much to my surprise

I found his heart so full of love

and blessed smile of love in mine

 

But when I looked into my mother's eyes

I finally understood

In her eyes I saw the gift she had

given me at my birth

It was then that I realized

I was not just recieving love

from my husband

or my daughter

or my mother

or my father

or my brothers

This love came with a special gift

a gift that can not be brought or sold

but one that is found only in the

hearts of those who truly have love to give

Not only were love and peace

given to me

I was given love to share

from my heart

unconditionally

to yours

with all my love

Christa

Days on end

hours go by

silently passing

through the moments

we treasure

in colorful memories

some precious

some sad

some angery

some glad

all part of our

"walk of life"

Both good and bad, funny and sad.

Dreams fulfilled, experiences shared

A lifetime building a foundation with people who care

You are ushering in another day

untouched and freshly new

So here I come to ask you, God

If you'll renew me, too.

Forgive the many errors

That I made yesterday

And let me try again, dear God

to walk closer in Thy way

But, Father, I am well aware

I can't make it on my own

So take my hand and hold it tight

For I can't walk alone......
