There are no better words to describe

  how Adriana has changed just each and

every aspect of my being.

I am so utterly blessed because she came

into my life - I am kissed by an angel.

 

 

 

 

 

As I looked into your eyes

I knew this love was true

And without reservation

I gave my heart to you.

 

But you were God´s own angel

Sent in human form

To set me free, to help me see

To guide me through the storm.

 

You had no recollection

Of the contract of your soul

For our Lord had bid you sleep on still

That you would make me whole.

 

A sacrifice so noble

I can hardly contemplate

The well of love within your heart

My gratitude is great.

 

My heart it was so fragile

So fearful and unsure

You knew there was no other way

To cleanse and make it pure.

 

 

 

 

So you took the heart I gave you

And you shattered its weak form

And as I bled, and tears where shed

God healed and made it strong.

 

It was a love much greater

Than the wordly love I craved

My spirit understood this

As my earthly being grieved.

 

Each time you seemed to leave me

You were never really gone

Our spirits were united

And I knew our love lived on.

 

I understand you were my mirror

The power was my own

To hate or love, the choice was mine

I´d reap what I had sown.

 

No one but you could do it

It was no easy task

To watch me cry, to let me die

To rip away the mask.

 

The mask I wore was solid

My faith in love was gone

And it was you who held the key

To let my heart go strong.

 

 

 

Had it been another

I would have walked away

Closed my heart, and let us part

You were my destiny.

 

No matter how my ego fought

I couldn´t lock the gate

I cared for you so utterly

There was no room for hate.

 

And so my heart it opened

with the grace of God above

I learned the precious lesson

of an unconditional love.

 

And then it didn´t matter

if you didn´t love me back

for the love I feel for you lives on

in the beating of my heart.

 

And so I lost, but yet I won

and that was your true goal

to return to me the power to love

to re-connect my soul.

 

I know that God is with you

and that when the time is right

he will too awaken you

to the beauty of your light.

 

And one day you will understand

the wonder of it all

and see the pure perfection

and precision of God´s Law.

 

My gentle precious angel

with these words I set you free

to walk your path

to claim your heart

to meet your destiny.

 

 

 

 

Mother and Child

 

We are connected,

my child and I, by

an invisible cord

not seen by the eye.

It´s not like the cord that

connects us ´til birth.

This cord can´t be seen

by any on Earth.

This cord does it´s work

right from the start.

It binds us together

attached to my heart.

I know that it´s there

though no one can see

the invisible cord

from my child to me.

The strength of this cord

is hard to describe.

It can´t be destroyed,

it can´t be denied.

It´s stronger than any

cord man could create.

It withstands the test,

can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,

though you´re not here with me,

the cord is still there,

but no one can see.

It pulls at my heart.

I am bruised, I am sore,

but this cord is my lifeline

as never before.

I am thankful that we are

connected this way.

A mother and child -

death can´t take it away!
