In Memory of Wayne (Will) Cox

11/2/87 - 11/10/03

  Join with me on this night

On November the 10^th

at 8:30pm

And light a candle

To glow in Wayne’s name

As you think of his life

And who he was to you

Remember his smiles

 Laughter and jokes

 His constant love of outdoors

And your times together

Join me this night

On November 10^th

To remember Wayne

Now a guardian angel

Of those he dearly loved

Watch the flickering flame

And know that he is near

Our love for Wayne will never stop

Nor wait for a special day

For he is in our hearts, minds and souls

As we remember him

Join me this night

On November 10^th

With your candle burning bright

Say a prayer in Wayne’s name

For his anniversary is here

Then hold your loved ones near

As I remember the life of my son

The Four Candles 

 

The Four Candles burned slowly.

Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...

The First Candle said, "I Am Peace, but these days, nobody
wants to keep me lit."

Then Peace's flame slowly diminishes and goes out
completely.

The Second Candle said, "I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable."

Then Faith's flame slowly diminishes and goes out
completely.

Sadly The Third Candle Speaks, "I Am Love and I haven't the
strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside
and don't understand my importance. They even forget
to love those who are nearest to them."

Waiting no longer,
Love goes out completely.

Suddenly...A child enters the room and sees the three
candles no longer burning.

 The child begins to cry, "Why are you not burning?

You are supposed to stay lit until the
end!"

Then The Fourth Candle speaks gently to the little child,
"Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn,
we can re-light the other candles."

With Shining Eyes the child took the Candle Of Hope and
lit the other three candles.

Never let the Flame Of Hope go out of your life.

With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are...

Peace, Faith and Love can Shine Brightly in our lives.

I Release You

I spent some time at your grave today

Seeking comfort in some small way

After crying tears and weeping endlessly

My mind was opened and I did see

You were not there for me to find

Nor did I see any such sign

I realized what I already knew

You are in my heart, with a love so true

A calmness crept into my mind

And strengthed as I sat there for a time

Today’s goodbyes were different than before

It seems I may have closed one door

A door held open until I was ready to see

Where I could find you was within me

To understand that where I can find you whole

Is deep within my very own soul

I feel as if I have released you today

And live with your memories in my own way

My grief is still raw and will always be

I now own it as part of my own history

Go now my son, and be who you are

To be my angel always near yet afar

Coming close whenever my needs are great

And always on the November 10^th date

Exactly a year it took for me to understand

My grief may be now but the future is in His hands

Tonight, somehow I see clearly through the pain

And know I am releasing you to Him, my son Wayne

We will be together with our Lord someday

Until then, my love for you will grow in its own way

The invitation was to commemorate
Your loved on this special date.
A time to To pray for him and his
A time to know what sorrow is.

I thought this time for someone else,
I hadn't thought of myself.
But something else came to light
As we lit our candles tonight.

I felt new things, thought new thought.
I cried and shook and felt a lot.
I thought that this was for him and you,
I never knew it'd help me through.

So thank you, Ann, for this invite,
A chance to share in your son's light.
I found myself with My Tisha again,
You both helped me deep within.
