In Loving Memory of Madeline Rae McCall

November 24th, 1999~December 26th 1999


Empty Socks

Empty socks she used to wear...
Now carried in my pocket, "handled with care".
A piece of clothing, others may say.
But one of the last things my angel was wearing,
When Jesus called her away.

I carry them with me, 'cause I can't let go...
Oh! How I miss my angel so!
Empty socks once filled with tiny feet.
No longer needed, for she walks on a golden street.
Overcome with despair, where do I start?
Surely a pair of socks can't fill the void in my heart.

I'm honored to be your daddy, and so proud of you!
Your mommy and I miss you, and don't know what to do.
We will carry you with us, and try to carry on,
Til we're reunited again by God's Heavenly Throne.

Empty socks, maybe not so empty after all...
For they are filled with memories of our Madeline Rae McCall.

My Heart Is My Haven

My heart is my violin,
Your spirit tugs at its strings.
It sings a song of the place you're in,
I treasure our tender symphonies.

My heart is my map,
Of your travels afar.
If only it were a long winters nap,
But I am with you wherever your are.

My heart is my book,
That tells of our precious memories.
It has become my favorite nook,
To dwell in our heart-spun reveries.

My heart is my vision,
Of all the lives you've touched.
