Description:
Hello, My name is Vonnie. I have 6 children and live in Pennsylvania. On 2/10/2006, my life was changed forever. My 18 year old daughter was killed by a drunk driver. My life as I knew it, ended that day.

ETERNAL DAY

Posted by vonnie in Loss of a Child

If tomorrow you should wake to find,

that the lord has called me home.

If tonight I heard him calling me,

and you were left to carry on.

 

Take faith in all the love we shared,

for our hearts had beat as one.

Listen to the song inside,

of the broken heart, that must live on.

 

For you are still apart of me,

and I apart of you.

And it's the love we shared in life.

that lights the way to see you through.

 

For life is just a passing thought,

a moment in God's plan.

But we all must take the journey home,

when guided by God's hand.

 

And when we meet on the other side,

all storm clouds rolled away.

Our souls shall walk in the perfect light,

of God's eternal day.

THE MASK

Posted by vonnie in Loss of a Child

With morning light, I dry my eye's and slowly push the pain inside. I'll keep it in a hidden place, where they can't see it on my face.

A brand new day get on with life. I'm still a mother, still a wife. Crawl out of bed put on the smile. if only for a little while.

When people ask me how I feel, Oh I'm just fine and how are you? They'll never know it isn't true. I keep the sorrow locked away, so they'll believe the words I say.

I hear them say that I'm so strong, but deep inside I know thier wrong. For breathing seems sometimes a task. It's getting hard to wear this mask.

This mask that hides the pain inside, I put it on the night you died. It hides the agony of living on, after one of your childrens gone.

They say that time can heal all wounds, but I know that this can't be. For there's not enough time that can go by, to free me from this misery.

And late at night when it's just me. I slip off my mask and set my tears free. For from myself this pain I can't hide, it's always there, it's always inside.
