Just a little while

Just to hear your newborn cries
Feel your baby skin
Smell your sweet smells
Lasts just a little while

To be able to go back
Cherish those moments more
Linger in each of your breaths
For just a little while

I'll never get those moments back
But we'll make more each day
If God lets me stay with you
Just a little while

~I love you Jakob Ethan Mink!  You were my first true love and always will be.  I know sometimes you think I am the worst mommy ever, but I promise everything that I do, I do to make you a good man one day.  I pray each day for you and hope that God guides you in the right direction all your days.  

From this to that

How can you go from this to that
In the span of twenty six years
How can we be smiles one day
The next uncontrollable tears

How is life so fragile
You didn't plan it that way
How could you be gone
You had so much more to say

How can my heart hurt for you
When you don't feel any pain
How can I forget your smile
When it's seared inside my brain

How will life go on from here
Different but it will go on
How do I know this for sure
You were here, now your gone
