1 - So from the start...

A loving home with lots to give and sacrifice for the taking
It shapes us right it shapes us wrong; we are beings in the making

When love surrounds our every move, a loving mother who is so caring
We are shaped and molded in ways not known; life is ours for the taking

We grow to be loving souls although selfish we may become
Of all the ones we care to love and miss she is the one

So no matter where the road may lead as Frost has made so clear
We choose a path and hope we keep and hold it near so dear

For she has done the best she can with six loving careless souls
Whom she built and shaped to be...Of her I cannot say no more

Although I will and she has earned a love of six and their respect
What we become and what we choose does not mean she failed the test

For words can only say so much and rhyme is but a choice
For me to share with all y’all her loving caring voice

Although a mess it may not be I promise with six it can
The odds are against our loving decree and Vegas for us has a plan

So fear no fear and love for all as she has taught you well
What you become and how you live puts you in heaven or hell

You crave a drag, a joint a pill or God forgive put it under your skin
It’s yours not hers it’s a choice not peers you choose what you are in

So blame but you, fortunate, or not, as you have now become
You choose the path you take the road a dead end for all will come

For death has looked us in the eye, through our brothers own
For we were six and now we’re five and one of us is gone

Does that have meaning? Has it changed? Have five really passed the test
For God has given us a call a thorough painful test

A time we remembered the loss the grief a true feeling of distress
We have all lost a part of us but have not passed the test

I look at all, but I can't judge, who we are and what we’ve become
However, all too soon we realize, yes she is the only one
She made us strong and weak at times for love is all but gone

So now the love that which we choose forever at our dispense
Is it what we make it all to be or a word in the past tense?

Oh get me right don't get me wrong
For this is a word I hold so strong

Yes, we believe as she has taught us to see
In love in a moment caught you will be

But can we ever carry through?
Forget a feeling that we once knew?

Will we as beings pass the test?
And live a life without distress

Of love, they say it is a sword with edges on both sides
A choice to stab and then retreat we must all choose our lives

But blame your life’s misfortunes, or love, whichever it may be
On you, your own, your choice, your love, whichever you will see

For you will see that we all know the life we choose on taking
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood your life you will be making

So if you are one who is weak at will, and fear what you will become
Remember you and do not forget that of your choices you are the one

And don't be fooled of the little bones that God has thrown your way
For a healthy dog you soon may be unless you go astray

An easy choice we all may think
But who are we to see?

The truths of love and life
That it wants us to be

Don’t get me wrong and don't you think
That I may know of this loving thing

For all I know that which you must
A loving soul, a caring heart, a life to give and not your own
Other than that, we are all but lost

But I will try to give you hope yes, she has taught me well
Or so I think, and in God believe our soul we must not sell

A loving wife a gift from God two loving girls to pass the test
I know the fortune of what I have and I will treat it well

We pray to you our every lord to help us be forever strong

In all your teachings of this life
A world more ruthless than a knife

Protect our soul,
Protect our love
Protect our loved ones from it all

From all the urges we might get
Of endless pain, that holds our chest

I turn to you, as we all should
To make us strong as you once could

For we are weak and you are strong
In heaven our loved ones belong

A life of love that we hold dear
However far, however near

Oh, give us strength to stay our course
A life of love and no remorse

For repeatedly we choose
Help us is in choice so we don’t lose

Of life and love, it is but hard
We choose the game, we dealt the card

We promise to forget you not
For life once gone, love is all we’ve got

So you keep strong and hold your course, as was once said without remorse...

I wish all well, I wished me best
To live this life and pass the test

Don’t be afraid to take a chance and give this life a second glance
Go on fly away and live it right
And fight this life with all your might

For of your mother's soul you have
And we have heard your loving laugh

And be not weak for you are strong
And lead the life that you belong

For high or mighty life may be
Love is weak and so are we

I leave you now to think this through
And do with it what you all must

For we are weak we are not strong
I wish us love beyond our dust

As we are set down in our rest
I hope we all can pass the test

Of every conviction and faith
Our life, our love is worth the wait

For what is life that is not lived
And what is love but an internal gift

Be remembered not for what you have done
But for everything you have now become

A wonderful self such meaningful words
Something to keep beyond this earth
