My Mother, Mona M.A.H.M.M. was born on my birthday.
She is and was my inspiration in all things. I have her
qualities of unconditional love and compassion.
I have not cried until now. My Mommy is gone.
My Mommy has died. I believe I will see her again one day.
We will stand in the presence of God, and we will reunite as
one through our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Until then Mommy,
I believe,
Moana ;) xoxoxo

♪♫♫ I Believe ♪♫♫
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been

Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time
Are holding you... and me

And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see,
I've got all the proof I need

There are more than angels watching... over me
I believe... Oh, I believe

That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends ..and if I'm right
Our love can even reach.. across.. eternity..!
I believe... Ooh, I believe

Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer, if I can...!

Oh, the people who don't see the most
See that I believe in ghosts

If that makes me crazy,
Then I am... 'cause I believe!
Oh, I believe...!

There are more than angels watching.. over me!
I believe
Oh, I believe...

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again...
......and I believe

Ponies
I remember the ponies in the distance.
I remember the ponies behind the fence, muscular,
breathing, how they worried the grass.
The ponies said: This day astounds us. The field is green.
We love nothing better than space and more space.
Ah, they knew what I needed to know.
They lived in their bodies.
If the ponies wanted to kiss, they kissed.
They moved like the shadows of airplanes.
They knew no hatred, but fear they understood.
The sky was shot clear with blue.
After the picnic, we gathered the tablecloth.
As we left, I could still see the ponies,
crowding one another, free and unbroken.
