God gave me 3 BEAUTIFUL gifts... Life, Love and Family ... I give to Him my Faith in Him, my Loyalty to Him and my Praise for who He is!!!... My desire is to reach out and touch as many lives as possible for Him... YOU are SPECIAL!
Okay... this isn't spiritual... Just a catchy song that I can't get outta my head...

MOMMY PLEASE DON’T GO
by TAWNI BRANZ
Copyright 2007......
Mommy, please don’t go...
Can’t you just stay home with me?...
Daddy goes to work...
I need you here – I’m only three...
I know you think it’s what you need...
You say it’s your career
But, mommy, you’re more valuable
At home with me – right here...
Mommy, please don’t go...
There are no rewards out there
That can make you feel
As great as when our time we share...
I know that times have changed – and that
The world says you need more
But, mommy, won’t you stay with me...
Don’t see me as a chore...
Mommy, please don’t go...
You could teach me how to be
Someone who will know
That life is not about just me...
You say you want to be someone
You want to find your worth
But, mommy there will never be –
Not on this planet earth –
A person or a job that can
Reflect how great you are
Like I can as I grow – you’ll see
To ME you’ll be a star...
Mommy, don’t you know
That family matters most in life
When all is said and done
It’s more than fine to be a wife –
Who stays at home and loves her child
With everything she’s got...
You mean the “whole wide world” to ME –
And, mommy – that’s A LOT!...
Mommy, please don’t go
There are no rewards out there
That can make you feel
As great as when our time we share...
I know you think it’s what you need...
You say it’s your career
But, mommy, you’re more valuable
At home - with me - right here...
Mommy, please don’t go
Mommy, please don’t go!!!
I wrote that one day after my little girl clung to my neck refusing to let go, sobbing, Mommy PLEASE dont go, as I dropped her off at daycare where strangers work to make a living so that I could go to work to make a living... I thot about it ALL day and realized how messed up it is...
(I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN SET THESE WORDS TO MUSIC AND RECORD IT AS A SONG. THE SAME FOR MY LYRICS "MY LITTLE BOY, MY SOLDIER - PLEASE COME HOME
THE WORST WORDS... by Tawni Branz
I wrote this a few weeks after my mom passed away...
THE WORST WORDS
By Tawny Branz
Copyright 2007
WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT THE WORST WORDS THAT I EVER COULD HAVE HEARD WERE “SHE LOVED YOU, DEAR, SO MUCH” –
I THOUGHT – OH GOD, I’VE GOT TO SEE HER
AND, WHAT DO YOU MEAN – SHE LOVED ME? SHE STILL LOVES ME?
RIGHT? SHE LOVES ME!
MY DAD – HE WRAPPED HIS ARMS AROUND ME TIGHT CAUSE I WAS FALLING
STANDING IN THAT HOSPITAL – THE SOUNDS OF NURSES CALLING.
OH, GOD – I CRIED! OH PLEASE, NO, GOD! I HAVE TO SEE MY MOM
JUST YESTERDAY WE WENT TO LUNCH – SHE’S FINE – SHE CAN’T BE GONE?
I DIDN’T GET TO SAY GOOD-BYE – THIS JUST CANT BE - I’M DREAMING
OH, WHY THEN AM I STANDING HERE – OH WHY THEN AM I SCREAMING?
WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT THE WORST WORDS THAT I EVER COULD HAVE HEARD WERE “SHE LOVED YOU, DEAR, SO MUCH”
I THOUGHT – OH GOD, I’VE GOT TO SEE HER!
SHE’D ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO STOP BY LAST NIGHT TO VISIT
IT’S NOT MY FAULT I DIDN’T GO – IT’S NOT MY FAULT!
OR IS IT?!
I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SEE HER -OH, IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN THIS
I WOULD HAVE SET ASIDE MY STUPID PLANS - I FEEL SO HOPELESS!
THEY LET ME IN TO SEE HER - LAYING THERE – BUT SHE’S
NOT BREATHING
I HARDLY CAN CONTAIN THIS PAIN – THIS ANGER – SO MUCH GRIEVING
AT LEAST I KNOW SHE LOVED ME – NOT JUST CAUSE MY FATHER
TOLD ME - BUT WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE FOR ONE MORE CHANCE TO HAVE HER HOLD ME.
WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT THE WORST WORDS THAT I EVER COULD HAVE HEARD WERE “SHE LOVED YOU, DEAR, SO MUCH” IF ONLY SOMEHOW I COULD HEAR HER
SAY THOSE WORDS – I LOVE YOU - BUT I’LL NEVER HAVE THAT HONOR
I STILL CAN HEAR MY FATHER’S WORDS – THOSE PAST TENSE WORDS
SAID FOR HER.
My mom, my BEST friend... I loved her more than just about anyone... But after she passed ohhh how I wished that I had done a better job of showing her just how much!
DONT WAIT SO LONG TO LET YOUR LOVED ONES KNOW JUST HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM! YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THAT DAY WILL COME WHEN THEY ARE NO LONGER HERE TO SHOW OR TELL THEM.
