Sometimes I can't remember what I did last
week,its a sad fact that as we get older
our memory fails..
. |
I was given a precious gift and want to share
it with you..
|
Last night I laid in bed thanking of your
birthday and what I could get for you.

As I slowly drifted off to sleep I began
traveling down a road I no longer knew.
Not a
single road mark did I recognize,the
road
was steep in places and I was getting
tired
but on I walked thanking just around
the next
bend I would see something I recognized
and in
doing so would be able to find my
way.
|
There were many dead ends and soon I came
to a cross road , in frustration,I cried
out in panic to God,I have traveled this
road before ,yet I can't remember the way
,I needed a memory of just one land mark
for then I knew I would be home.
|
You see I was trying to remember my very
first
memory of you ..
|
Then it came..A touch so gentle and soft
as if the wings of an angel had brushed against
my cheek as I turned my head on the pillow..
flying
so close
that I could feel the warmth
surround
me .
|
As I surrendered to sleep, tired as if I
had just taken a long journey ,I heard a
whisper a sound so faint almost not heard
by human ears.
|
It was my heart beating ,echoed in my ears,and
a voice saying ..
Not with
you mind --but with your heart ,come
I will
show you the way...

My Heart Remembers
|
The first sound I heard was your heart beating
,as I laid beneath your breast,the soft rhythm
kept me warm and constant.
|
Sometimes I would hear noises, faint strange
sounds that sometimes would make me afraid,I
would turn over and kick the best I could,
not knowing or liking this noise that intruded
into my peaceful little world.
|
Your Voice was the first I heard,and Loved
|
But there was one that I KNEW,and when I
heard
it I
felt save and warm ,sometimes
I could
hear
songs being sung by this voice
,I didn't
want
the sweet sound to ever stop.
|
I was content in my small world and thought
I never
wanted
to leave....
|
But strange things were happening and I grew
afraid.....
|
My world was getting smaller and some force
was pushing
me away
,I fought to hold fast,but
this
force
was stronger then I....
|
I fought hard and thought I heard my beloved
voice cry out in pain,crying out the same
way that I was crying out ,fighting so hard
to stay in my warm world,beneath the soft
swish ,swish, sound that was my constant
companion from the very beginning....
|
Your touch was the first one I felt
|
I seen a strange light,and this caused me
to cry
out as
loud as I could ,I never knew
fear
before
,it was something I did not like,I
felt
....something
..grab me I did not like
the touch
and cold
I was so cold ...
|
Then all of a sudden ,I heard your voice,I
knew
that
voice,I begin to calm down ,and
then
I felt
your touch so soft against my
cheek.
|
I wasn't afraid anymore,and soon drifted
off to
sleep.Peaceful
restful sleep,I loved
this
touch
,and soon learned that each time
I cried
out the
voice and touch would be
there.
|
I played this game often,this was even better
then
the small
world
I left.This touch was
the first
thing
I fell
in love them..

My Heart remembers.
|
You ask-- where did I find the words --Your
heart will always make itself known through
your words... Cliff and I went out to a Chinese
restaurant to eat Friday night .Cliff opened
his fortune cookie ,I left mine in the restaurant.
In the car I noticed Cliff had stuck my cookie
into his shirt pocket and laughing said to
him ..what you thank you need two fortune's..
it lay
in my car until today when I decided
to open
it...
The words
read...Your Heart Will Always make
itself
known through your words..
Sometimes I thank God knows the guestions
before you ask

My Heart Remembers --Happy Birthday Mom I
love You
Your
Daughter
