'Till We Meet Again

I wonder what song was sung in heaven
When our first estate was kept
The voices of Angels
Through heaven they swept
Our Heavenly Parents pleased to see
The joy of their children
Who soon will be
Parted to an earthly probation
Where memories will be forgotten
And for some, life will just be
Without belief that we will live on
For eternity
We soon will be singing together again
Until that time comes
A song is kept near
A song, that for now,
Our spirits are singing
For only the Angels to hear
Until our joyous reunion
"God Be With You Till We Meet Again"

Why Am I Smiling?

The radio is turned up, windows rolled down
I can feel the wind blowing through my hair

I am smiling

My 3-yr-old sits in back crying, screaming, kicking
Radio is turned a little higher, wind is still blowing

Me, still smiling

Why do I smile?
Is it because I don't have strength to laugh?
Do I feel joy, or pleasure?
.....None of the above.....

We reach a stoplight, roll windows up
Take a deep breath; why do I feel so calm?

"mommmyyy" "M..O..MM..YYY!!!"

I feel strength; strength only a mother can feel
A certain strength only a mother needs

Destination is reached, FINALLY!!
3-yr-old falls into my arms; a kiss and a hug
It's over

And I am smiling!!!
