TO HONOR YOU

by Connie F. Kiefer 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 the time to appreciate everyone I Love,  I know now there is no guarantee of 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 very highest source.

So everyday, I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh and Love.

Now I live for us both, so all I do, I do to honor you”

written by Connie F. Kiefer Byrd for her son
