I was never a huge grateful dead fan but I do love this song! I think the lyrics and music are beautiful. Thomas who is that adorable little imp in the pic He is a doll
I love the look on his face. Must be a mom thing LOl
I will look for the words to the song my daughter sang at My sons funeral the words were perfect for the occasion I will get them for you.
It was a song titled Beauty from Pain
The lights go out all around me one last candle to keep out the night and then the darkness surrounds me I know I'm alive but it feels like I've died and all that's left is to accept that its over My dreams ran like sand through the fist that I made. I try to keep warm but I just grow colder I feel like I'm slipping away.
After all this has passed I still will remain After I've cried my last there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today someday I'll hope again and there'll be beauty from pain You will be bring beauty from my pain
My whole world is the pain inside me the best I can do is just get through the day When life before is only a memory I wonder why God lets me walk through this place And though I can't understand why this happened I know that I will when I look back someday And see how you've brought beauty from ashes And made me as gold purified through these flames
After all this has passed I still will remain, After I've cried my last there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today someday I'll hope again and there'll be beauty from pain You will bring bring Beauty from my pain
Here I am at the end of me trying to hold to what I can't see I forgot how to hope this nights been so long I cling to your promise there will be a dawn
Then the chorus again.
I wish you could have seen my beautiful and brave baby girl standing in front of this huge church and without a mic fill the room with these loving words to help her sister in law and mother say that final goodbye to her brother as he lay in the open casket behind her. I was so proud that day that even through her grief she could find the perfect song to describe how we were all feeling that day. She stood up there so brave and tall and without tears sang one last time for her brother who had always been her biggest fan. I can only say that I was proud and can only hope that the saying you live on in your children is an accurate reflection of where her strength comes from
She set a high bar for her mother and I only hope I can live up to that strenghth. I hope if you are having a day that is not so nice that you will remember that it is always darkest before the dawn
Thanks for taking the time to read this and remember to tell those you care about that you do care. You never know what tomorrow brings so live everyday like it might be your last and love those around you like you have no time left. Live without regret.
Love Mamajena
