Mary's Poetry

This poem is dedicated to Mary's children, Cynthia and Jeff

Wish you were here

I can just see her, walking on the shores of heaven
Praising the Lord, watching the tide roll in
Friends that have gone on, Oh how I miss you so
And somehow I know if you could, you'd let me know
That your doing fine, and it doesn't hurt anymore
Things couldn't be better, and Heaven is worth waiting for
That you miss me too until then, you'll be praying for me
And I know if you could talk to me now
Here's what you'd say to me

Wish you were here
It's such a beautiful place
Wish you were here
Nothing but clear sunny days , it never rains
and no one complains, and we haven't seen a tear
We're having a great time,
Wish you were here

I can just see them, walking on the shores together
Their talking with Jesus, safe and secure in his love
Friends and love ones, walking in Heavenly peace
And I know if they could talk to me know
Here's what they 'd say to me

Wish you were here
It's such a beautiful place
Wish you were here
Nothing but clear sunny days, it never rains
and no one complains, and we haven't seen a tear,
We're having a great time
Wish you were here
Well it never rains, and no one complains
and we haven't seen a tear
Oh we're having a great time
And we wish you were here

These are some poems/songs that were written by Mary Stuart and 

taken from Mary's book "Both of Me" ... 

 

 

I live my life in a moment, 

the moment of my years,

A grain of sand on a beach so wide;

and ever the mighty ocean tide,

Sweeps away the footprints of each passerby,

So very small am I.

 

 

 

Sweet is to lie

Upon a grassy hillside,

Close my eyes and feel

A sun that's shining everywhere.

It warms a world that 

every blade of grass can share.

For a whistler on a windride,

It is lonely, lonely there.

A thrill to fly

Alon ga strange new highway,

Birds are going my way,

Wind fingers in my hair.

I'm flying by,

Music trails behind goes

Blowing through my mind knows

It's lonely, lonely there.

 

 

 

Cynthia lives in a yellow balloon

full of sunlight, sunlight.

She sees the world through a yellow balloon,

shining bright.

In her yellow balloon, when it thinks it's

the moon, she goes flying by,

You can't tell a balloon,

When it thinks it's the moon,

You're too high.

Cynthia lives in a yellow balloon

full of starlight, star bright.

She says we all live in different balloons,

and she's right.  Yes, she's right.

When her yellow balloon is the sun and the moon,

she goes flying by.

You can't tell a balloon

that's the sun and the moon

You're too high.....I wouldn't try.

A gentle wind blows where my Cynthia glows

in the sky.

 

 

 

I used to see a mountain, rising soft and blue,

When everything was easy and all I had to do

Was step across the shadowline

to make a soft blue mountain mine,

And I was sure of you.

I don't recall how many times we reached

to touch the sky,

We ran to catch a rainbow, but we never could;

No one told me why.

I don't recall how many times

the two of us have tried

To float across the river in a box of wood.

But I know I cried, how many times I cried.

I still can see the mountain, rising soft and blue,

The climbing wasn't easy, but what I know is true;

The mountain rising far away is made of rock

it's cold and gray,

And I'm not sure of you.

No, I'm not sure of you.

 

 

 

Looking out my window,

when the sun is shining high,

I can see a sparrow flying by; and a breeze,

I can see it bend the trees.

People come, people go,

Some I've never seen before,

But they live behind each door.

They're part of me, my reality

Is the place I see.

Looking out my window,

when the moon is shining white,

I can see the yellow squares of light.

Dark and still, just beyond my window sill

Shadows come, shadows go.

Then my window, as I pass, as become

a looking-glass.

My face I see; my reality

Inside of me.
