What I Did For Love
I never knew how
My life was being played
I only knew my heart tugged
At the thought of others
Needing a kind word
A hand on theirs
I followed my heart
And let the world
Go about its business
I will stand here
In your sight
Giving you all
I have in my
Own heart and soul

As you all know because I have crammed it down your throats yesterday, today is National Multiple System Atrophy. There have been so many comments on my Face Book page that I haven’t been able to blog. Believe me I am not complaining. People have lit hundreds of candles in his name. Some have donated in his name. Others have worn purple as I still am today.
I was going through my comments and found this precious gift for my brother and I wanted to share with all of you. None of you have met my brother, but I believe in my heart you know him very well.
Dianne Cogar I see that man Al use to be
There in his eyes still strong and free
Though his heart yearns for better days
He knows deep down this is no phase
He fights through tears, through aches, and pain
And hides them well as his strength wanes
He knows too well what lies ahead
Though it is certain he has no dread
For in his heart I’m sure he knows
That as time passes his purpose grows
For from his experience, his loss and win
Those in the future will profit in
And in Al’s name there will come a time
When his legacy will be the sign
That those like him will face less dread
For answers will reach them just ahead
And in their hearts will always be
The man who brought the world to see
For Al’s a fighter, a leader, and more
A man with purpose we all adore
Without a doubt his heart stays sure
One day they’ll find the perfect cure
Here is the correct and easy route to the M.S.A. page if you want to light a candle for Al today.
Where Are You My Precious Love
Oh where are you
My precious love
That I may draw
Strength from
Your heart
That I might

Oh where are you
My precious love
That I may draw
Strength from
Your heart
That I might
Feel your power
And tuck me safely
Under your arm
And shelter me
From the evil
In the world
Where are you
My precious love
Can’t you see
It in my eyes
Can’t you hear
My heart beating
Here, look in
My direction
For I am
Waiting for you

Please Don’t Say You Don’t Love Me
Do not suck
The life out of
My loins for
I will crumble
In front of your
Feet, tears
Scrambling to
Do not suck
The life out of
My loins for
I will crumble
In front of your
Feet, tears
Scrambling to
Find a place to hide
My heart laying in
Pieces for the
eyes to see
Please don’t go
Stay near my side
Love me forever
Say you will never leave.

I can’t help but write again
As my heart is being squeezed
Tears won’t stop flowing
I loved you so long ago
When I could see you all the time
And now the barrier keeps us apart
But my love for you has never left my heart
I can almost feel God reaching down to you
I can feel his warmth entering the room
As he is calling your name and I see that
You have answered him back
You may be leaving
But your memories will forever
Remain in my heart
I loved you then
As much as I love you now.
Have a safe journey
Tell God hello from me
I wanted to say but one more time
While you are still here and can hear
I loved you then and I still love you now
Here’s a hug and a kiss A.W.

I turn around to see the tears
And ask why are they there
He tells me he is ready to go
That he no longer fears.
He speaks of mom and all his pain
And says he wants it gone
He says his life is of no use here
And has nothing here to gain.
My heart has cracked
As I see his tears fall
And hear the sadness in his voice
I must let him go, and not look back.
Some do not understand the ways
Of a human who wishes to die
We stand away and look from afar
And hope for him better days.
For those who know their time is near
There are no better days here
They have recognized life as gloom and pain
And want to be with the ones they hold so dear.
I wish for him with all of my heart
For his smiles to reappear
And I know without a second thought
That his smiles will return, when he does part.
I love my brother with all that I can be
I would not have missed a thing
The memories that I have buried with in
Are in the box, and only I hold the key.
I don’t know if you are right
About your time to go
But I will accept that in dreams or not
You are ready to see the light.
