If tear's could build a stairway,and memories a lane,I'd walk right to heaven and bring you home again.I thought that I would miss you so,and never find my way and, then I heard the angel say "SHE WITH YOU EVARYDAY" "THE SUN,THE MOON,THE WIND,THE STARS will forever be around,reminding you of the love you shared,and the PEACE SHE'S FINALLY FOUND. Once upon a memory someone wiped away a tear, held me close and love me,THANK MA. LOVE U MA, your son,DAVID
