My name is Laura Smith, I have 5 children 1 son and 4 daughters.
My son is carrying on his dad's name Charles Edward Smith; who has a son also named Charles IV.
My husband died of lung cancer January 12th,1995.
I have always been able to write short stories, poems and my autobiography.
I had never written any songs until about a year or two after my husband passed away.
I had this particular one on my mind that constantly plagued me.

"Let Me Not Weep" and I wrote that very first song in my husband's memory.
Vicki and I went to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee last March and we won "Song Writers Of The Year".
I wrote the lyrics and my daughter Vicki composed the music.
and Harry King arranged it all...
Then I seemed to be on a roll and wrote eight more songs.
Meanwhile Vick wrote 3 songs of her own and we created our CD.
The creating of this CD was so important to us; that we braved
the slippery roads and the snow to drive to Winthrop to finish it.
I'm sure my husband has inspired me from the grave.
I feel he is always close by to help me when I need him; we were married 38 years

Who would have ever thought this possible!
I was just a mother raising 5 children, I only went to the 8th Grade.
Later in the early 80's I went back to school and got my GED.
I devoted my life to my children and my sick husband.
When he passed away at age 58, I thought my life was over too.

I met a fine man who also lost his wife about 7 years before we met, who died of lung cancer.
He lived in the country (which was my husband's plan for us)
he had a motor home (which my husband wanted, so we could travel the world together)
His wife's name was Laura (mine is Laura)
His mother in-law's name was Mary (my mother's name is Mary)
I truly believe that this union was arranged by our mates with the good Lord's help.

I am now living in the country, and traveling to various States with my new found soul mate.
He also inspires me to write alot of my songs.
I believe in miracles, I strongly believe in fate
I feel my soul mate and I are living proof of that!
I also thank you for letting me share a little about me and my life and family with you.
