To Honor You, by Connie Byrd
To honor you, I get up every day and take a breath.
And start another day without you in it.
To honor you, I laugh and love with those who knew your smile
And the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge.
To honor you, I take time to appreciate everyone I love,
I know there is no guarantee of the days or hours spent in their presence.
To honor you, I listen to music you would have liked,
And sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.
To honor you, I take chances, say what I feel, hold nothing back,
Risk making a fool of myself, dance every dance.
You were my light, my heart, my gift of love, from the highest source.
So everyday, I vow to make a difference, Share a smile, LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE.
Now I live for us both, so all I do, I do to honor you.

Beautiful! The pic the poem but mostly the lives they represent. They lost is great but the joy remembering both of their lives is far greater! God gave us such amazing gifts when He gave us both of them and I'm thankful for the time I got to spend with each of them,both have touched my life. Thanks Kerri for sharing your life with us you are one of the amazing unforgettable people in my life!
Much Love and Many Hugges
