Forever Loving Jay! 

It has been two years since my son, Jay took his flight to heaven. Two years of missing his hugs, laughter, love, singing, dancing, teasing and all that made Jay unique. Two years without Sunday morning church, Sonic runs, trips to Arkansas and daily mac & cheese. Two years without Jay! 

I wrote this poem for Jay when he graduated from high school. I’m sharing it in memory of Jay. 

A Mother’s Love 

If love could take away each hurt and dry up every tear If love could keep you safe and well I’d have no reason to fear 

If love could give you words to speak when no one understands The things locked deep inside your heart I’d place them in your hands 

If love could give you a perfect world you’d have sunshine all day long Angels would dance in your room each night while the heavens sing you a song 

If love could grant each “wish on a star” and make all your dreams come true The earth and the sky could not contain all the treasures I’d give to you 

But this thing called love is a mystery; it’s fragile yet very strong I can’t shield you from every heartache but I’ll be there when things go wrong 

My love and my arms have embraced you throughout all of these years And my love will reach through eternity until the end of time is here. 

My sweet Jay! How I miss you!
