Together We Walk the Stepping Stones
by Barb Williams

(Thank you Barb Williams from YANA)

Come, take my hand, the road is long.
We must travel by stepping stones.
No, you're not alone. I've been there.
Don't fear the darkness. I'll be with you.

We must take one step at a time.
But remember, we may have to stop awhile.
It's a long way to the other side
And there are many obstacles.

We have many stones to cross.
Some are bigger than others.
Shock, denial, and anger to start.
Then comes guilt, despair, and loneliness.

It's a hard road to travel, but it must be done.
It's the only way to reach the other side.

Come, slip your hand in mind.
What? Oh, yes, it's strong.
I've held so many hands like yours.
Yes, mine was once small and weak like yours.

Once, you see, I had to take someone's hand
In order to take the first step.
Oops! You've stumbled. Go ahead and cry.
Don't be ashamed. I understand.

Let's wait here awhile so that you can get your breath.
When you're stronger, we'll go on, one step at a time.
There's no need to hurry.

Say, it's nice to hear you laugh.
Yes, I agree, the memories you shared are good.
Look, we're halfway there now.

I can see the other side.
It looks so warm and sunny.
On, have you noticed? We're nearing the last stone
And you're standing alone.
And look, your hand, you've let go of mine.
We've reached the other side.

But wait, look back, someone is standing there.
They are alone and want to cross the stepping stones.
I'd better go. They need my help.
What? Are you sure?
Why, yes, go ahead. I'll wait.

You know the way.
You've been there.
Yes, I agree. It's your turn, my friend . . .
To help someone else cross the stepping stones.

""Beloved Son of Sylvia""

 

We are connected , Tony and I ..

by an invisable cord , not seen by the eye

 It's not like the cord that connects us till birth..

This cord can't be seen by any on earth

  

  This cord does its work right from the start ..

it binds us together, attached to my heart

  I know that it's there , though no one can see..

This invisable cord , from Tony to me .

The strength of this cord,it's hard to describe ..

it can't be destroyed , it can't be denied

  It's stronger than any cord man can create..

It withstands the test , can hold any weight

  And tho you are gone ..

and not here with me ..

the cord is still there tho no one can see

  It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore ..

This cord is my lifeline as never before

  I am thankful that God connects us this way

 ..My love for my Tony , nothing.. can take that away.
