~Overtake~

The poison conquers your brain.
We stand suffering silent pain.
A darkened lie so true.
All along somewhere we knew.
Behind the stone wall you hide.
Standing guard over ridiculous pride.
It's not you, we are aware.
Even so, It's just not fair.
Angry words meet angry tones,
Beating us down with heavy stones.
Hopeful we wait for an end.
Knowing all too well the beginning trend.
Pain and frustration breed heavy tears,
Weighing down in tired years.
Bad endings, good endings both in sight.
Your choice, is it worth the fight?

~Karen's Heart~

Your heart so big and full of love,
Has left us now for heaven above.
The stories and jokes we will miss,
But with happy thoughts we reminisce.
You left a legacy so proud and true.
What was right, you always knew.
Leading with love and caring with heart,
Your example got us off on the right start.
Always a happy face and a kind word,
And a vibrant laugh that will forever be heard.
The memories and good times will live on,
Even though it’s hard to admit that you’re gone.
It’s a comfort to know the angels directed your way,
And that we’ll be seeing you again someday.
Our hearts will always hold your memory tight,
And promise to help us here in this earthly fight.
I miss you, I love you, and thank you so much!
Your heart beats within the lives you touch.
