RUBEN
Heaven is much nearer now
That Ruben is over there.
It seems I hear the angels
As they sing his welcome air.
I hear the dear familiar voice,
I see the tender smile.
At last his gentle loving hands
Will rest a little while.
If he could speak to me
I know he’d tell me not to grieve
As I linger over odds and ends
I cannot bear to leave.
How precious are the memories
That flood my aching heart
How many are the little things
That set Ruben apart.
How very much we loved him,
How much we love him still.
And lonely is the empty place
That no one else can fill.
MY REASON FOR LIVING
My reason for living and recovering as much as I did - My Mom.
I will one day give her the life she truly deserved.
You mean everything to me Mom.
You stayed strong despite my illness wrecking havoc on our family,
but you helped me get to this point.
I Love You,
Ruben
