It is a year now since that fatal day / Grampa K.
It has been over a year since that fatal day
When God took Dakotah and Austin away
To be with Him everyday.
I still know not why
this had to be
I have asked many times, Why me?
Tears still flow like a river to the sea,
My heart is still heavy.
It's hard to believe
how two little lives can affect me.
I can still hear their laughter
see them smile
and hear them playing.
To think of their dreams of being grownup someday,
To be a great football player, doctor, or what may
The dreams of these little boys
will never fade away.
How great they could have been
here on Earth, I do not know
But their greatness in heaven
can never be told.
To be with them in Heaven is my future goal.
Until that time comes
when God calls me home,
I will keep my boys in my heart
for they will Never Grow Old.
Love, Grampa

The Dream
She, in her yellow dress
no worries or fears
plays in the meadow
smelling the wildflowers
feeling the dew on her toes
She,
LITTLE SUNSHINE
I'm waiting for you, little sunshine,
For the day when I have you to hold.
I miss your warmth, though my arms
by Jay Halseth
Can you see the Angels?
Remembering those who have lost children to early
Her dad played this game
every night before bed
This
Hard Words
Cold and hard some people's words sound
they think it will get me up from the ground
but hard words can not hurt
