My Mom Is A Survivor

 

Today I went into Walmart to buy some coffee.  While in the aisle I realized that I was humming to a song.   No coincidence that out of the millions of songs available; "Calling All Angels" was playing.  Third time in a week this song has played for me.  Needless to say - I left Walmart smiling ear to ear.  Jay's signs/messages calm my soul and infuse new energy into my being.  Knowing that he is near makes me strive to live my life whole heartedly and not just exist; going through the motions.  I am a Survivor and not a victim. Today I was told by someone who is struggling that after talking with me she always has Hope.  It made me feel good inside my heart for I do have a purpose.  I also have HOPE......

My Mom is a Survivor

Kaye Des'Ormeaux

My mom is a survivor,

Or so I have heard it said.

But I can hear her crying

When all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night

And go to hold her hand.

She doesn’t know I’m with her

To help her understand.

But like the sands upon the beach

That never wash away...

I watch over my surviving mom,

Who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others...

A smile of disguise.

But through heaven’s open door

I see tears flowing from her eyes

My mom tries to cope with my death

To keep my memory alive.

But to anyone who knows her

Knows it’s her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom

Through heaven’s open door...

I try to tell her

Angels protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn’t help her...

Or ease the burden she bears.

So if you get a chance, talk to her...

And show her that you care.

For no matter what she says...

No matter what she feels.

My surviving mom has a broken heart

That time won’t ever heal.
