This one is actually a remake of a poem from a few years back. I tried to make it more song worthy. August 3rd marks 17 years since she was taken from me a 2nd time. The first time was due to adoption, the second time Mom passes away. Either way twice in a lifetime is too much to be taken away. The heartache stays deep no matter the time that passes. Knowing at least I know the next time we will be together, will be in eternity, helps me through my days but the sadness never goes away.
Twice in a Lifetime
You were young and scared
And I knew you cared
The day they took me away
Was a painful day
Forever etched in my heart
My faith
seemed to come undone
I had to
find a way to cope
To keep
alive the hope
Year went into year
My hope grew dim
Then one day your letters began to appear
Your words were salve to my soul
My hope returned, my was heart full
Bridge
Together again forever this time
Times for healing
Times for breaking down and building up
Times for weeping
Times for laughing
Times for second chances
Then came that haunting call
I felt like I had hit the wall
Don’t take her from me, Lord not again,
not today
Then you were gone
Separated once more,
How could I go on?
That devil he thought he won
My faith seemed to come undone
I had to find a way to cope
To keep alive the hope
Then the Savior called to me
He said he’d ease our pain and set us free
He would give us eternity

This poetry is not only Praise to God but it is also a testimony of His work in my life. Even when I haven't paid attention, He was there through it all. God Loves Me even though I am not perfect and that's enough for me.
