WAITING FOR YESTERDAY
....by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001
I'm waiting in the shadows
Of the time that slipped away,
Not waiting for tomorrow
Only waiting for yesterday.
Today I have my memories
But tomorrow I may forget.
I yearn to live in yesterday
Where time will never quit.
Tomorrow holds no promise.
Yesterday holds everything.
I will never cease to long for
What tomorrow can not bring.
Someday I'll be in yesterday.
In the place where time stands still
Reliving all my memories,
Once again I'll be fulfilled.
In yesterday we'll be together
Where you can't be taken away.
Until then there's no tomorrow,
Only waiting for yesterday.

Christine, Luke's Mom...MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU (Luke Skywalker and Luke, sky... walker)
The truest words of all: I will not forget you.
You are in my waking thoughts,
my sweetest memories, my dearest dreams.
I will not forget you.
You have touched my soul, opened my eyes,
changed my very experience of the universe.
I will not forget you.
I see you in the flowers, the sunset,
the sweep of the horizon
and all things that stretch to infinity.
I will not forget you.
I have carved you on the palm of my hand.
I carry you with me forever.
— Ellen Sue Stern, Living With Loss, 1995
