A Port in the Storm

"A House Of Hope"

Josh Krieser

Josh Krieser’s CD, in memory of his mother, Sue Leslie, raises money for A Port in the Storm

Sue was a young woman whose dying wish was to have a house built for people like her. The music playing from Josh’s CD is an instrumental version by Minnedosa musician, Fred Scott, of Josh’s song “Mommy’s Valentine”. Please go to current fundraisers page for details on how to purchase Josh’s CD.

At the age of 7, Josh wished he could send his Mommy a Valentine card in Heaven. He wrote down his memories of her and what he recalled her saying to him. With the help of his grandmother, Barb (Susie’s Mom), Josh wrote this special tribute song to his Mommy.

Mommy's Valentine

Mommy, I’m making this Valentine for you

Saying that I love you, in pretty colours too.

You’ve been gone five years and that’s too long

For a little boy to cry,

Longing for his Mommy, whose home is now on high.

I see your pretty picture smiling down at me

Gazing at me proudly snuggled on your knee.

Things went wrong but you stayed strong

And tried so hard to stay,

My little heart went with you, the day you went away.

I feel your love around me, you live within my heart

Someday the time will come, when we will never part

Though the time seems long I’ll send along

This special Valentine

I was your greatest treasure, now your memory is mine.

Vocals: Josh Krieser
