Yesterday is over
I cannot bring it back
The memories they linger
Still open just a crack.

I pit my will against it
To remember is only pain
And yet a smile comes to my lips
We're together once again.

My mind plays tricks against me
Some thoughts can make you real
I cose my eyes and listen
And stop trying to conceal.

And there you are across the room
As alive as one can be
You smile in my direction
How wonderfu to see.

I look past you and see the desk
Where all my toys now stand
The many gifts you gave to me
Unexpected and unplanned.

The little dog with angel wings
The feathers in a jar
The statue of a tennis girl
A dog that looks like "Star"

A photograph in a gold frame
When you were just a kid
And pictures of your siblings
Taped slightly overhead.

It is all there,these realities
That I can see and feel
Yesterday was not a fantasy
You lived and you were real.

Electronic Magic .
Written by Mimi

Electronic magic came my way
When in a store I walked one day
I had to have this brand new toy
And told my child, my youngest boy.

In the mail came his earmarked check
I placed my order. What the heck!
Brought my Web home, prepared to play
Now wasn't that a wondrous day?

Lo and behold the little box
Opened a world that once had locks
I surfed the Net and plunged right in
On my face a perpetual grin.

I learned to Search, I learned to find
My Web was always on my mind
People came and people went
Some I found and some were sent.

At times they became my reality
Though never seen, they are real to me
Unseen friends, bosom pals
They became real guys and gals

I step back and take a look
It is a machine, it is not a book
It has no voice, no eyes to see
Then the magic must only come from me.

You Squeezed My Hand
Written By Mimi

You squeezed my hand. It was hardly felt
I didn't recognize the old man laying in the bed
With an oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth
Was that you?
Where was the younger, taller, more vibrant person?
Sickness reached out long bony fingers
And pulled out your spirit and talent
And left me only a shell I didn't recognize.

You squeezed my hand. It was hardly felt.
I came to tell you it was time to let go.
I promised you I would tell you. It was like pulling the plug.
That is when you squeezed my hand.
It was hardly felt.
It meant "I understand."
And then you died.

The Phone Rang.
Written By Mimi

The phone rang as I walked upstairs
Ready for sleep and nightly prayers
The phone rang.

The baby sitter sent me down
To take the call. She wore a frown.
The phone rang.

"Hello!" I said, feeling very grown
I was six years old and answered the phone
I heard no voice.

"Hello, Hello, is anyone there?
If you don't speak, how can I hear?"
The man spoke

"Do you know a man named John?
Do you know he's dead and gone?"
His voice roared.

"Do you mean John my very own Dad?
Why do you make me feel so sad?"
The man sighed.

"I'm sorry little girl, I really am
Telling you wasn't part of the plan"
And I cried.

It wasn't very real to me
I was just a little girl you see.
The phone rang.

The Visitor
Written By Mimi

The little angel hovered
Her wings fluttered to and fro
She knew no other way to say
"God said HE love you so."

"I bring you peace and rest your heart
From pain too deep to bear
You know your friend is in heaven now
Under GODS kind loving care."

"For now the journey's over
His soul knows peace at last
Whatever wrong he did on earth
Is done. And in the past."

"Now it is time to say goodbye
And get on with your life
Be kind and gentle to others
Who may suffer illness and strife"

"That is why I come to you
This message to convey
Celebrate the love he shared with you
In each and every day."

"And when the time arrives for you
To enter heavens gate
He will be first in line to say
It was a long long wait."

The angels wings did flutter
Her kind eyes clear and blue
"Keep love alive and always know
GOD cares, and loves you too."

She flew away, without a sound
Her message filled the air
The little angel sent by God
To remind me HE is there.

So when you feel alone and sad
And don't know which way to go
Remember what the angel said
"GOD said he loves you so."
