Poem / Paula (Adam's Mom) Bruckner (Bereavement friend ) Every Minute That I Breathe
Photos on the mantle I won't change
For they still remind me of a day
You filled our hearts with laughter and your smile
How we loved you for a while.
The day came in blinking of an eye
When suddenly we had to say goodbye.
As you were soaring homeward through the blue
Part of me went right along with you.
Every time I hear you in my mind
Through my heart weeps my soul takes flight to the place
Where you are somewhere far beyond the farthest star
Now every minute that I breathe you live what I believe.
You gave me so much more than joy
In you I saw a reason for each morn.
In a world unwinding as it spun
Holding you would make me still again
Many would say your days with us were too few
But they were numbered by the Lord for you
A message of your life remains through time
Jesus gave you everlasting life.
Every time I hear you in my mind
Through my heart weeps my soul takes flight to the place
Where you are somewhere far beyond the farthest star.
Every time I see you dancing through my mind
though I long to hold you my soul takes flight to the place
where you live to watch you sing and dance what I would give.
Now every minute that I breathe you live what I believe.
One day I will see Jesus come for me
No one knows the hour he will come
I will fall at His feet for all He's done for me
Then straight into your arms I'll run.
Every time I hear you in my mind
Though my heart weeps my soul takes flight to the place
where you are somewhere far beyond the farthest star.
Every time I see you dancing through my mind
Though I long to hold you my soul takes flight to the place
Where you live to watch you sing and dance what would I give.
Now every minute that I breathe
Every minute that I breathe
Every minute that I breathe
You live what I believe
You live what I believe
