In Memory of Adelina Cruz

A million times I’ve needed you, a million times I’ve cried.
If my love could have saved you, you never would have died.
Things I feel so deeply are the hardest to say,
My Dearest Mom, I Loved You in a Very Special Way.
If I could have one wish, one dream, that could come true,
I’d pray to God with all my heart for yesterday and you.
No length of time can take away my thoughts of you today…
It’s been four years, Moms, and I miss you as much today as the day you went away….

RIP Adelina H. Cruz – August 26th, 1924 to April 10th, 2005.

What Makes a Father

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it “DAD”

Life Lessons

You may have thought I didn’t see,
Or that I hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we’d grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It’s written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be
The person I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I’ve grown up with your values,
And I’m very glad I did;
So here’s to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.
