Hello David...... Lisa here, remember me? I miss your smile and funky gaze you always gave me. Life down here really is a mess as you know. Hold tight to "Nan" as we are trying to as well. Talked to Bobby yesterday. He came to see your site and was very impressed. I wish we did one for mom, but she went upstairs before all of you, so she was busy holding the door, with a huge smile, wink,and kisses. There is not a single day that goes by that I don't think of all of you upstairs. I know you know that, cuz I feel you all as well. Grandma, I hear your giggle too. Gotta go now, went to a memorial for a friend today, but will check in on Deanna & Richard tomorrow. Love You, Love You, Love You.......Lisa

GOLDEN WHISPER
I DANCED WITH THE WIND
ARMS HELD UP HIGH
I LAUGHED ALOT AND SELDOM CRIED
FELT DROPS OF RAIN UPON MY FACE
RAN HARD AND FAST AND RAN THE RACE
FREEDOM FROM ALL CARES AND PAIN
THE WILD STALLION ON HAS BEEN TAMED
IVE FOUND THE HEART THE PART OF ME
IN A PLACE OF SERINITY
THE BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS ME HERE IS BEYOND COMPARE
DONT WEEP FOR ME IN THE DARKNESS
FOR I AM NOT THERE
I SEE THE SCREATS UPON THE MORNING
AND MYSTERIES OF THE NIGHT
NEVER BE AFRAID TO LEAVE JUST GO TO WARD THE LIGHT
GOD IS LOVE AND NOW I KNOW
ALWAYS LOOK TOWARD HEAVEN AND LET YOUR LOVED ONE GO
I HAVE FOUND PEACE THRU GOLD AND SILVER SKIES
I WILL BE THERE TO MEET YOU WHEN IT IS YOUR DAY
UNTIL THEN..
ITS NOT GOODBYE I AM NOT SO FAR AWAY

You are missed, This goes without saying. Sadness will alway's be with me and all who are within your circle. But I cannot let my anger subside. Of all people, after long conversation's of what we believed and why, I believed you would have stopped by in any fashion you chose to say that what I and most others believe, or hoped, is in fact truth... Your sceptisism fueled the fires of or debates. My unquestionable belief would piss you off..... "What proof" we would both ask of each other..Our answers were ...."we'll see, time will tell..."
Today... I am ready to say... You may be right.... You have not stopped to gloat or give that wry grin.... I say maybe, because I am not where you reside right now. You have alway's been slow in responding to important issues... So, I hope earth issues are not top priority and some day you will sit before me, next to me, unexplained fax, premonition or which ever way you want... Either way, I will finish this debate with you. I just had to let you know I am angry. Not with you, but with the situation. We aren't given any operating manual to handle life/death and as you know I am very disappointed with all... You passed the exam... I am waiting to take the test.... Give me a whisper...

If I could put time in a single tear drop,
letting it flow down the rivers to you.
Then I would know the best of my soul,
broke in the night and carried us through.
*
Remembering that fateful last moment
when I last saw you walk out of the door.
I heard you speak, "don't worry Mom",
a simple request impossible to ignore.
*
It is the memories I now so cherish,
every smile or laughter you shared.
On my keeping shelf of needful things,
your life is gently laid out for me there.
*
The smell of your hair in the sun-light,
as a young boy when you used to play.
To the husband and Father you grew into,
on bended knees I softly whisper and pray.
*
Now you are my luminous star,
which hovers high on the horizon above.
While fine threads of a more tender time,
weave a sad-voice crying out in love.
*
In a special place of silence I go,
where thoughts of you are never swept away.
Lingering there until my tears are spent,
I pick up the pieces to face yet another day.
*
In the mist of your splendor beauty,
after all of the sorrow spent in grief.
A dampen wisp of a kiss upon my heart,
looking for the answers of peace I seek.
*
If I could put time in a single tear drop,
letting it flow down the rivers to you.
Then I would know the best of my soul,
broke in the night and carried us through.

For You My Precious Child
I know you haven't left me,
Your presence I still feel,
The love you give surrounds me,
And your smile it seems so real.
While I lay at night in stillness,
Your voice to me so clear,
My heart starts beating faster,
When I know that you're so near.
Sweetheart come and take me,
To the Heaven where you live,
God knows I long to hold you,
I still have so much to give.
You wouldn't have to keep me there,
Just only for a while,
Long enough to hug you,
And to once more see your smile.
Can you hear me speaking,
Are you close enough to hear,
Will you please reach out and touch me,
So I'll know that you are near.
Could it be that you are sleeping,
While I dream again once more,
Or God showing what faith can do,
When I open up His door.
I hold you safely in my heart,
And you travel through my soul,
The days we spent together,
Were the happiest I'll ever know.
You are sweet like the breath of an Angel,
That lingers and will never leave,
I'll see you soon my precious child,
And no longer shall I grieve.
Before you have to go my love,
Please fly me to the stars,
I need to see where you rest at night,
And if I have to travel far

"When You Come Back Down"
You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you'll learn to play
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be, that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' inbetween your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire
And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, and if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

Elusive Butterfly
You might wake up some morning
to the sound of something
moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
you'll catch the fleeting glimpse
of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
you may see the floating motion
of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
you might hear footsteps running
through an open meadow
Don't be concerned
it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing
something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams
with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
echo softly in the distance
through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
as I ran searching after
something to believe in
You might have seen me running
through the long abandoned ruins
of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
that glided past you
followed close by heavy breathing..
Don't be concerned
it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing
something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams
with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Hello God
Hello God, I called tonight
To talk a little while ...
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own;
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep,
My family safe and sound;
Come and fill their lives with confidence,
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face,
Each hour throughout the day;
And not to worry over things,
I can't change in any way.
I thank you God, for being home,
And listening to my call;
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time;
I never get a busy signal,
And never had to pay a dime.
So thank you, God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow;
Good night, God. I love You, too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!

"To Those I Love"
~Author Unknown~
To those I love and those who love me:
When I am gone release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be thankful for the many beautiful years
I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you each for the love you have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on,
so if you need me, call and I will come.
Even though you cannot see or touch me,
I'll be near. And if you listen
with your heart, you'll hear all my
love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say
"Welcome Home!"

The Rainbow's End
Every time someone scrapes you
With a sharp word, or maybe two,
Just imagine you're at the rainbow's end
And how the magic will bring a mend.
Looking down life's pathway,
Or back o'er the one of yesterday,
Didn't we all look toward the rainbow?
Did not we find that special glow?
It's just a matter of looking yonder,
At the rainbow with total wonder;
Knowing the storm and rain of life is gone,
But, the shadow of the rainbow lingers on.
Spirits are bright, times are good again;
But, only if we're looking at the rainbows end.
Don't look for a dark and lingering shroud.
Look, instead, to the light shining through the cloud.
It's a covenant from God, for no more flood;
For our transgressions, He shed His blood.
So if we try to love, then hearts will mend,
As long as we look to the promise of the rainbow's end.

All heaven was in mourning,
The day that young man died;
When He closed His eyes, they said,
Ten thousand angels cried.
The angels shed their many tears,
Because He was God's Son;
But there is a special sadness,
When God takes the very young.
At times like that, I question God,
Why let a child die?
I cannot understand it,
And I need to ask Him why.
I, too, have heard the angels cry,
I've heard them cry first hand;
For I, too, gave up a child,
And I've tried hard to understand.
Yes, I received God's comfort,
Though I'm grateful, I want more;
I want reasons; I want meaning,
I am a parent who's heart-sore.
God can give, and God can take,
I am well aware of this;
But, why my baby ... why my child?
Why did God put him on His list?
Did I love my child too much?
Was he too good for this old earth?
Had his purpose here been filled?
Was that why he was taken first?
I awake each day with questions,
I fall asleep at night, the same;
So many times I ask God why,
I'm both saddened and ashamed.
But then, in reflective moments,
When my prayers are most intense,
One word keeps going through my mind,
Patience ... patience ... patience.
Maybe now is not the time,
To explain this great heartache;
Even if I knew God's reasons,
What difference would it make?
Can't I just be grateful,
For any time we had?
Accept God's action without question?
Why is that so very bad?
What's my hurry ... why my pressure?
Is my faith not strong enough?
God will explain it when He's ready,
Surely I can trust that much.
God understands my broken heart,
He, too, gave up a Son;
He knows the pain of one lost child,
He weeps with me, and we are one.
Just as I talk to God each day,
I talk to my precious child;
I blow him kisses, and I say,
"See you, honey, in a while."

Birthdays have a Heavenly reason
In prayer I asked the almighty God above,

To seek that he might also fill your heart,

A blessing to you for a joyous Birthday,

Each year brings blessings beyond measure.

With passing years our wisdom will show,
As blessings from God within us they grow,
The years indeed have meaningful reason,
Just as weather nature indeed has a season.

Wisdom of years within us all tells its toll,
And beautiful knowledge, Heaven the goal,
Many Happy returns may the angels relay,
In a joyous blessed truly Happy Birthday.

In My Mind
by Jenn Farrell
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair"
You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
"God really needed me,
That's why I couldn't stay"
It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I've always had my angel
My brother - whose heart was filled with love
Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you
"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."
------------------------------- January 22, 2005
The Broken Spoke
Our Family was like a Wagon Wheel, All working together to make a Home,
The Hub, the center, the main part,
Was LOVE, and Love alone.
The Spokes were all our family members, Father ,Mother,and Children.
The outer rim was what held it together, Jesus Christ our dearest Friend.
But One Day our Wheel was broken,
One of Our spokes was taken and removed,
Christ is still the head and Love still holds,
With God, together we have stood.
This wagon wheel will never be the same,
The spoke was a vital part,
It will forever be missed and Loved, and remain in all our hearts

An Angel's Christmas Wish
I looked through the clouds and what did I see,
The face of my mother, and her thoughts were of me.
He eyes filled with tears and her face looked so sad,
My wings fluttered softly and I felt so bad;
For I could do nothing to change how she felt,
Nor could I alter the hand fate had dealt.
My tears fell like raindrops, my heart felt so tight,
I lifted my face to heaven and told God of my plight,
For I can never be free just to fly,
As long as there's one lonely tear in your eye.
My years on earth were spent to please you,
And though what has happened was not my own choice,
The plan, my mother dear, came from a much higher voice.
As the birthday of our Savior and Lord draws so near,
I have a small plea I would like you to hear,
Remember me, Mom, with happiness and smiles,
And know when you do my soul will soar miles.
My wings will be light, and my heart will be free,
In the brightest sunshine is where you'.. see me.

Christmas Memories
When snowflakes dance on winter winds
And colored lights shine Christmas cheer,
When children's laughter fills the air
And family gathers from far and near,
I try to celebrate with them
And not let my hurting show,
But the empty spaces within my heart,
At this season, seems to grow
'Till oftentimes it fills the days
And many nighttimes too,
With aching thoughts and memories
Of Christmases I spent with you.
Yes, memories do hurt, it's true
But I have this feeling too.
I'm so glad I hold these memories,
For with them I hold part of you.
So for now I'll wipe away the tears
And join with loved ones dear
To celebrate this Christmas time,
For I know that, in my heart, you're here.

Christmas Without You~
It's going to be a sad Christmas this year
without your laughter & without your cheer.
I'll miss the sight of you with your Santa's hat,
and the smile you shared from where you sat.
I'll think about all the Christmas's in the past,
and hold to the memories that slipped so fast.
For they're all I have left to remember,
on this sad Christmas morning in December.
I'll think about you and cherish each though;
I'll think of your smile & the happiness it brought.
And as I listen to the church bells ring,
your voice will echo as the choirs sing.
I can never tell you, my love, how sad it will be
to spend Christmas without you here with me.
I just wish you'd touch my heart in such a way,
that I could live through the pain of Christmas Day.
And, help me to remember that your love
is still sent to me from the Heavens above.
And although you won't decorate my Christmas tree,
Your spirit will light the lights for me to see.
Oh, I'll hear your voice in each Christmas song.
I'll see your face in each child that comes along.
And although my heart will be broken and torn...
I'll know you're with Jesus on this Christmas morn.
No, Christmas won't be the same without your smiling face
but I'll know you're in a much better place.
I'll think of my precious child in everything I do...
Cause, it just won't be "Christmas Without You!"

We light these candles in the winternight
Reminding our world of grief and loss.
We are a part of love, in tender league
With grievers everywhere a part of us.
A slow and shiny dance of candlelight
Now makes its way from hand to loving hand
For children who were once by our side
But have their home now in another land
The chain of candles sends its gentle glow
Around the planet as the hours pass
And every candle carries joyful tears,
A song of light to celebrate what was.
The children are with us, a friendly band,
They know the meaning of these candles best
They hear the love, they see the message move
Around the world, alive from east to west.
Let our candlelight remind the world
That all the children who have left this life
And all the children who are with us now
are kindred spirits when they first arrive.
And as the candlelight sends forth its glow
'cross artificial borders man invents,
let our children say again "
we know that peace on earth must be what life intends."
Now in the sky, the peaceful stars behold
Not only what we do, but what we mean --
Be our memories new or scarred and old,
The stars will not forget what they have seen.
We light these candles in the winternight
Reminding our world of grief and loss.
We are a part of love, in tender league
With grievers everywhere a part of us.

YESTERDAY WAS REMEMBERANCE DAY
HERE IS A POEM I FOUND;
Lights of Love
Can you see our candles
Burning in the night?
Lights of love we send you
Rays of purest white
Children we remember
Though missing from our sight
In honor and remembrance
We light candles in the night
All across the big blue marble
Spinning out in space
Can you see the candles burning
From this human place?
Oh, angels gone before us
Who taught us perfect love
This night the world lights candles
That you may see them from above
Tonight the globe is lit by love
Of those who know great sorrow,
But as we remember our yesterdays
Let's light one candle for tomorrow
We will not forget,
And every year in deep
December On Earth we will light candles
As................we remember

Holidays in Heaven
The Holiday Season is just not the same,
A smile is missing when saying one name.
For parents who’ve lost a daughter or son,
Nothing can bring back the delightful fun,
Of watching them talk, laugh, or just run.
The memories are all that we do have now,
We do go on…..only God knows how.
A New Year comes as midnight arrives,
Our Angels still a big part of our lives.
If only we could trade the presents we receive,
For one more day with those whom we grieve!
But nothing can bring back our beloved child,
The one that laughed, cried, and often smiled.
They are together in a much better place,
Watching us cry…..touching our face!
Although we miss them on Holidays to share,
Be assured their loving presence fills the air,
At home, in church, at New York’s Times Square!
So celebrating the Holidays are now hard to do,
But always remember they are thinking of you too,
Wishing you happiness and showing their love,
Not on this Earth, but from Heaven above!

Christmas With the King
To my dearest family that I left behind,
I need to touch your heart tonight.
For it's Christmas and you're missing me,
And the season doesn't seem bright.
While others are celebrating the holiday,
you find it hard to do the same.
You watch other families gather in splendor,
while you tearfully mention my name.
I know it was painful for you this year,
to decorate your Christmas tree.
For you cried as you hung each ornament.
Your thoughts were focused on me.
You shopped for presents for others.
Although you felt out of place.
When each day was over, I could see
loneliness written on your face.
You can't seem to get into the spirit.
To enjoy any festivities this year.
But think of the Christmases in the past,
and you'll feel my presence near.
Yes, and I come tonight to let you know
I'm happier than I could ever be.
I'm spending my Christmases in Heaven...
With the one who died for me.
So go out and feel that Christmas cheer.
Listen to the choirs as they sing.
And know that I'm happier than I've ever been...
Spending Christmas with the King.

My First Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees, around the world below,
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars , reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear,
for i am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs, that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the apin inside your heart,
But I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones. You know I hold you dear,
and be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift, from my Heavenly home above.
i send you each a memory of, my undying love.
After all "Love" is the gift, more precious than pure Gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep eachother, as my Father said to do,
for i can't count the blessing or the love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away taht tear,
Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
All around you, lights and laughter...
All around you, carols toll...
Christmas yes-but so soon after
Such a loss of heart and soul?
In the distance, bells are ringing:
Houses glow with festive light.
How can voices still be singing?
This should be a silent night.
Someday, Christmases may find you
Laughing as in days long past---
Memories may yet remind you:
Love alone is made to last.
So for now, may these words shine
Through night and day to where you are:
Love transcends the darkest times...
It is the light of every start.

IT'S HALLOWEEN
It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.
In masks and gowns
we haunt the street
And knock on doors
for trick or treat.
Tonight we are
the king and queen,
For oh tonight
it's Halloween!
~Jack Prelutsky~
Halloween is creepy full of scary sounds.
Kids are roaming in the night with their costumes on.
The moon is full high in the air,
gleaming bright everywhere.
Trample trample pat pat pat,
while everyone goes through the night.
Bags are full of candy,
for the sweet tooth kids to eat.
It is now getting late as the moon rises higher.
Rubbing there eyes fast asleep,
THAT IS HALLOWEEN

Dave's prayer
Father, with outstreched arms I seek your face,
with the faith of a child I've entered your holy place
Before your throne I knelt a trembling,
the sins of my youth I kept remembering
The sorrows of night are joy in the morn'
for in this place I've been reborn
With God almighty whose worthy of praise,
I'll spend eternity with the Ancient of days
Forgiveness came by the blood of the lamb,
the price was paid by the Son of Man

Marty Robbins Lyrics
A Little Spot In Heaven Lyrics
I don't ask you ,Lord, to lighten up my burden
I don't mind the trials on earth that I go through
Bein' down, I want to prove that I am worthy
Of a little spot in Heaven close to you
Years ago my Mother taught me all your meaning
Of the hardship and the pain that you went through
Know you ,Lord, that I am ready and I'm waiting
For a little spot in Heaven close to you
Precious Lord, forget me not don't pass me by
Though there must be others worthier than I
If you can then, Lord, here's what I'll have you do
Save a little spot in Heaven close to you
If my wish is more than I deserve, forgive me
Up in Heaven any place would surely do
But I've done my best on earth that's why I'm asking
For a little spot in Heaven close to you
At the altar years ago we got aquainted
And as time went on the love in my heart grew
If it isn't asking too much, Lord, then save me
Just a little spot in Heaven close to you

Should You Go First
Should you go first and I remain
to walk the road alone,
I'll live in memories garden dear,
with happy days we've known.
In spring I'll wait for roses red,
when faded, the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall,
I'll catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain,
for battle to be fought.
Each thing you've touched along the way
will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile,
though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain,
one thing I'll have you do:
Walk slowly down that long long path,
for soon I'll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
so I may take the same.
For someday down that lonely road
you'll hear me call your name.

Before I Go
When my life has reached its very end,
And I take that final breath;
I want to know I've left behind,
Some "good" before my death.
I hope that in my final hour,
In all honesty I can say:
Somewhere in my lifetime,
I have brightened someone's day.
That maybe I have brought a smile
To someone else's face,
And made one moment a little sweeter
While they dwelled here in this place.
Please be my reminder
And whisper softly in my ear ...
To be a "giver," not a "taker,"
In the years I have left here.
Give to me the strength I need,
Open up my mind and my soul ...
That I might show sincere compassion,
And love to others before I go.
For if not a heart be touched by me,
And not a smile was left behind ...
Then the life that I am blessed with,
Will have been a waste of time.
With all my heart, I truly hope
To leave something here on earth ...
That touched another, made them smile
And gave to my life ... worth.

The Dance
Garth Brooks
(Garth Brooks)
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

"It's Hard to Say Goodbye"
Through the mist of heartfelt sorrow
One can catch a glimpse of hopeful promise
That tomorrow the pain will be a little less.
And though a void will remain,
We must learn to fill it with joyful memories
Of the one who has blessed our lives for so many years
But whose time to leave this world has come.
To those of us left behind,
it seems their time was much too short.
And we feel robbed and angry,
and maybe even a little guilty
That we never did enough for them while they were here.
But in their heart,
they knew we loved them;
And we will always carry a part of them with us,
For they are a part of who we are.

MEMORIES OF YOU
I remember everything about you,
your voice, your smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.
I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.
I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.
You are gone from me now,
but one thing they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

The Everlasting Light
Those we love must someday pass
Beyond our present sight;
They must leave us and the world we know
Without their radiant light.
But we know that, like a candle,
Their lovely light will shine
To brighten up another place
More perfect, more divine.
And in the realm of heaven
Where they shine so warm and bright,
Our loved ones live forever more
In God's eternal light.

Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair"
You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
"God really needed me,
That's why I couldn't stay"
It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I've always had my angel
My brother - whose heart was filled with love
Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you
"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

REALLY GONNA MISS YOU
IT'S REALLY GONNA BE DIFFERENT WITHOUT YOU
TIME IS GONNA BE HARD AND SLOW
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
GONNA BE THINKING ABOUT YOU,

this is a songby celine dion;
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

As the days go on,
And the time passes by.
This heart still aches,
My eyes still cry.
Spring and summer has came and went
I see our trees of pine.
I think of holding you,
When you were here and mine.
You had a way about you,
With a very tender heart.
The look, the grin or smile,
You had those from the start.
You were the sweetest little boy,
Then became a fine young man.
I miss you more with everyday,
As only a Mother can.
I'd give anything to see your face,
That shining smile or silly prank.
No one will ever take your place,
The day you died, my heart it sank.
I often sit and wonder why,
You had to leave that day.
We did not want to see you go,
But knew you could not stay.
You were an angel in my eyes,
Now you soar with Heavens piers.
So let me say to you my Son,
Thank you for51 wonderful years.

SOLACE
Be patient with your unsloved heart
Don't feel as if your torn apart
Remember each an every smile
Each wound shall heal with while
Shed each tear your eyes behold
Find comfort in the stories told
Keep him alove in your memories
Think of his face with relaxing ease
Don't question his jaded fate
It was planned long before he reached the gate
He's touched so many lives
And brought tears to all our eyes
We loved his personality
It's hard to grasp reality
It's known, he was too young to go away
For some reason, God needed him today
He looks down and sees our sorrow
He'll be near throughout every tomorrow
He didnt cross the path of destiny without leaving a mark forever
Our endless memories will never sever
We wont think of the tears we've shed
Or forget the life he's led
Yet, we'll keep him in our hearts instead

WHEN YOU LOOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE;
The sharp edge of pain becomes dull in time,
But the hurt lingers on in our hearts our life long.
It's our "intimate" companion, but we wish it would leave,
However, it's part of life for us who grieve.
We can't let the hurt take control of our lives,
And yet there are so many times -
That we sit, and we cry and remember the past,
But we must find comfort in the things that last.
Things like love and faith, like trust and hope,
Like courage and strength to help us cope,
When we feel so empty and all alone -
When God has called our loved one Home.
Our thoughts become much deeper;
Our lives change in so many ways -
We participate, we laugh, we cry and go along our way;
No one knows the emptiness
We feel within our hearts;
Only God can heal the pain,
And His peace to us impart.
So, if you've lost someone you love
Who was so very dear,
I pray that God will comfort you,
For He is always near.
He's only just a whisper of a prayer away from you,
And He wants to take your burdens away, and be your friend so true.

IF YOU HAVE A SON;
If you have a son, be he baby, teen or man,
And he's giving you some problems, you just don't understand;
Don't chide him for eering, don't yell, scold or scream,
Just tell him you love him, and things aren't as bad as they seem.
However serious or trivial the problems seem today,
In time, like the clouds above, they will all be blown away.
For God always tests and challenges our love and caring -
He presents us with our problems for solving and for sharing.
These are tests of faith and character, He gives us every day;
And as a Mother we must pray, and seek God's help along the way.
I held my sons and rocked them, I fed them and we cuddled,
I nurtured them and sang them baby songs, and nursed them through their colic.
They'd play in the park with their friends on the swing and slide,
Then we'd all head home for dinner, then sometimes go for a ride.
Later on came bathtime, bedtime and a prayer,
Then it was storytime always Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
But the innocence of childhood soon passes away;
It disappears, in what seems like a moment, and only the memories stay.
We pray that God will be their guide through their teens into manhood
We pray the values they have learned, they'll use
To grow up gentle, kind and good.
While there's life, there's hope, it is said,
So through our teaching we hope we've led
Our sons n the right direction,
And we hope that God will keep them
In His divine protection.
You never thought you'd see the day they'd come home for awhile,
To visit "Mom" and talk at length of the times they drove you wild.
So Mothers, if you have a son, cherish him, hug him today,
No matter what he's said or done -
Don't let it stand in your way.
Tell him that you love him now, never turn your back on him,
Because he'll always need your love whether he's a baby or a teen;
Whether he's tiny or grown, he'll always be your treasure,
And just to be his Mother is one of Life's greatest pleasures.

Loving Memories
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled the heart
That loved us well and true,
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

A Face In The Clouds
I looked towards the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
And wondered just were you have gone
with a hope it's a better place
Did you show yourself to me today
to tell me you're alright?
Or was it just a daydream
playing tricks upon my sight
Then I thought of when you left
you did not say a word
No hugs and kisses..
no good-bye was heard
You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
and hope you know we always tried
to keep you safe from pain
We will always feel the void inside
because you are not here
But each new thought you send our way
let's us know you're always near
So until our journey nears it's end
And we hear the angels sing
We'll face each new day as it comes
and live off the love you bring

I'm Everyplace
MOM and grandma don't mourn for me;
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight,
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach,
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful feves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of whigh you're so fond.
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring;
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, I'm everyplace!

Feelings
by Joy Curnutt
I feel like I’ve just existed
And now it’s been a year.
I don’t know how I’ve lived and breathed
Without you being here.
I know you lived your lifetime
As short as that seems to me,
But the pain in my heart is still so great,
Yet I know your spirit is free.
At times I think I hear you
The thoughts come to my mind.
I struggle for the sound of your voice,
But your voice I cannot find.
Yet you come to me in many ways
So I know you did not die,
You want to tell me that you’re close,
And to please stop asking Why.
Our lives on earth seem all too brief,
Or brief as it seems to me.
But where you are is forever,
God calls that Eternity!

Don’t Think I Do Not Grieve
by Brenda Penepent
Don’t think I do not feel;
because you see no tears.
A river rages deep inside
of grief, and loss, and fears.
Just because I do not cry now,
don’t think my heart’s not broken.
I keep inside the misery
of words not to be spoken.
Sometimes I smile, or crack a joke,
so you won’t see the pain;
or notice how my hands will shake,
or how I’ve gone insane.
Each time I chance to think of her,
my heart is ripped asunder.
The loss I feel is mine alone.
you will not see my thunder

The Angels were listening"
As I sat, here in Heaven,
With angels listening in,
The angels heard me praying,
They also, heard me saying.
Dear Lord God, our Father,
Let your light shine brightly,
On my loving Parents,
Who are left behind?
And look after them lord,
Please allow them, peace of mind.
The angels listened in,
When they heard me crying,
The angels listened in,
Of this, there is no denying.
Lord now that I am with you,
And my Parents, so bereft,
I ask you, turn their sorrow,
In to smiles today and tomorrow.
For as I am now here with you,
And hope, is everywhere,
With Angels, and the best of care!
Lord I finally plead of you,
For my Parents, who are left behind?
Through your Angels, please be kind.
There is much compassion dearly,
For My Parents, who are left behind?
And the wish that they see clearly
To find the strength and hope,
For hidden deep within us all
Is a determined spirit to cope?
Yes the Angels listened in,
And with me, they watch over you,
With guidance love and care,
Just look up, I am always there.
Be Patient, be still, listen and hear me.
Life goes on, and I will, see you, again.

Sons Bloom"
In the Garden of my heart
A rare beautiful flower grows
'Tis a flower picked by the angels
And so carefully it was chose
It only ever blooms
For a loving Son just like you
In the garden of my heart
It's indeed so beautifully grew
Only a loving Sons sunshine
Can make this flower grow.
For it's watered with the blessings
That only loving Son’s, like you show

Lord Dry My Tears
Dear Lord, I come to you tonight,
My heart's so sad and blue,
I need someone to talk to Lord,
I need to talk to you.
There's so much in my life right now,
I sometimes feel alone,
The problems that I'm facing now,
You said, you'd make your own.
Your know my heart, you feel my pain,
That's why I look towards You.
It's just that I don't understand,
These things I'm going through.
It seems that when I help someone,
It blows up in my face,
I sometimes feel that "you don't care",
What's happening in this place.
Why is it I don't feel your love
Or your amazing grace.
I need to feel your presence, Lord,
To know that you are mine,
I just can't go by "feelings" Lord,
I need you all the time.
I know your word is true_but Lord,
I need to feel your touch,
My heart is searching for you Lord,
I love you, oh so much.
I know you died upon that cross,
To take my sin and shame,
I guess you haven't turned away
That I'm the one to blame.
But do you think that you could reach,
Down from your throne above
And reassure me that you care,
And I still have your love.
You know that I'm just human, Lord,
Just made of simple dust,
And I can't handle things alone,
I need to feel Your touch.
I need to know that, though I fall,
You'll pick me up again
And help me through these problems, Lord
By holding to my hand.
So "Dry Away My Teardops" Lord,
I know not what to do,
But this I know, When I need help
I can always "count on You

I am your Flag
I was born on June 14th, 1777.
I am more than just cloth shaped into a design.
I am the refuge of the World's oppressed people.
I am the silent sentinel of Freedom.
I am the emblem of the greatest nation on earth.
I am the inspiration for which American
Patriots gave their lives and fortunes.
I have led your sons into battle from Valley Forge
to the bloody swamps of Viet Nam.
I walk in silence with each of your Honored Dead,
to their final resting place beneath the
silent White Crosses, row upon row.
I have flown through Peace and War, Strife and
Prosperity, and amidst it all I have been respected.
My Red Stripes . . . symbolize the blood spilled
in defense of this glorious nation.
My White Stripes . . . signify the burning
tears shed by Americans who lost their sons.
My Blue Field. . . is indicative of God's
heaven under which I fly.
My Stars . . . clustered together, unify
50 States as one, for God and Country.
"Old Glory" is my nickname,
and proudly I wave on high.
Honor me, respect me, defend me with
your lives and your fortunes.
Never let my enemies tear me down from my
lofty position, lest I never return.
Keep alight the fires of patriotism, strive
earnestly for the spirit of democracy.
Worship Eternal God and keep His commandments,
and I shall remain the bulwark of peace
and freedom for all mankind.
I am your Flag.

We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As taps began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.

"Illusion"
Sitting here under the stars,
wrapped in your jacket ,
I search for signs of you.
A shooting star,
a breeze in the stillness,
a light drifting toward me.
As tears blind me,
I turn off the pain by going elsewhere,
somewhere before now.
When I return
there is a fleeting moment
when I look down the street
in the direction you last walked,
and instead of agony
I feel anticipation
as I wonder what time you'll return
and what you'll want to eat.
then I realize that you are gone
It was all an illusion
I must wait til we meet again
In heavens gates you will await...
then we will reunite once again

Liberation
Now energy
In morning chill
Come round and see
From silent hill.
Leave pain below
In arid land
You'll rise and go
Pass waving strand;
With lightning flight
In shinning glow
Up to the light
Again you'll know;
Through starry dome
Across the sky -
Once more you're home.
Good does not die.

How Do I Miss Thee?
How do I miss thee?
Let me count the ways...
I miss the way you made me mad
I miss the way you made me glad
I miss the way you made me smile
And loving me all the while.
I miss the way you used to care
I miss the way you were so fair
I miss the way we used to chat
About this and about that.
I miss the way we stuck together
Through thick and thin, in any weather
I miss the way you made me feel
Like my life was so unreal.
But most of all I miss your love
That, surely was sent from God above.

A world beyond this earthly home
There dwells another place
A point beyond the moon and stars
And somewhere lost in space.
A place where heavenly angels sing
With flowing robes of white
A place amongst the rainbows
And radiant beams of light.
A place where peace and love is found
Before the throne of God
A place where splendid streets are paved
And saintly prophets trod.
A place where darkness never comes
Where everything is new
A place the glows with holy light
And shines the whole day through.
A place that has no tears to dry
There is no hurt or pain
A place for us to praise our Lord
And never die again.
A place that boast of mansions high
Mine eyes will soon behold
A place where Jesus calls to me
And waits on streets of gold.

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says,
"Grieve not for me."
Remember the best times,
the laughter, the songs,
the good life I lived,
please do carry on.
Continue my heritage,
I'm counting on you...
Keep smiling and surely
the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease,
my soul is at rest,
remember how truly
I had been blessed.
Continue traditions,
no matter how small,
go on with your life,
don't just stare at the wall.
I miss all of you dearly,
so keep up your chin...
until the day comes,
we're be
TOGETHER AGAIN!

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories are clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be(?)
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see your smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
Cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
that angels breath
And that love will live on
and never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.
A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

Ask My Mom How She Is
My Mom, she tells a lot of lies
she never did before.
From now until she dies,
she'll tell a whole lot more
Ask my Mom how she is
and because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how is she,
she'll say "I'm alright".
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how is she,
she seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see
nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."
For Gods sake, Mom, just tell the truth just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all of her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how is she
she'll lie and say she's fine.
I am here in heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile, and I'll be bold.
I'll say "You're lucky to get in here, Mom with all the lies you told."

PARTINGS
IF I SHOULD GO AND LEAVE YOU HERE
DO NOT FEEL SAD AND SHED SUCH TEARS
FOR WHEN THE SUN BEGINS TO RISE
SOMEONE IS BORN AND SOMEONE DIES
LOVE IS ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
IF EVER NEAR OR FAR APART
A SOUL SO FULL OF WONDER AND AWE
CANNOT STAY FOREVER IN ITS SHELL
IT MUST BREAK FREE AND BE APART
OF THE EVERLASTING MYSTERIES
GOD GRANTS US FREEDOM FOR AWHILE
TO EVER BE A LITTLE CHILD
AND THEN ITS TIME TO TAKE FIRST STEPS, TO TRY AND BE YOUR VERY BEST
TO LOVE ANOTHER WITHOUT RULES
TO TRY NOT TO JUDGE OR CALL THEM FOOLS
TO TRY AND FEEL ANOTHER NEEDS
MY FATHER GOD,I SAY TO THEE
I AM SO GLAD YOU SET ME FREE
TO SEE THAT WE ARE RAINBOWS IN EVERY HUE
YOU LOVE US ALL,WE ARE ALL PART OF YOU...

IT MOVES OUR GENTLE SPIRIT
HOW RESTFUL WE FEEL
AND HOW PEACEOVER COMES US.

AND BOWS AS IF IT KNOWS.

AND THE WIND SENDS AN ANSWER

A MEMORY HUG
Your loss has left a hole in your heart.
That hole never goes away...
you learn to live with it.
With acceptance of the loss
and changes in your life,
the pain lessens.
Eventually memories fill up the space,
but it never goes away.
Then, when you least expect it,
a memory spills out
of the hole in your heart
and washes you clean again with tears.
Think of it as a "MEMORY HUG"

A DAY, A WEEK, A LIFETIME
When I wake up in the morning
I ask myself
How will I get through this day
Without You
As I dress and prepare to start my day
I wonder
How will I go on
Without You
As the day slowly slips away
I remember how you made me laugh
And I smile
Without You
At the end of the day
As I prepare to close my eyes
I know in my HEART
I couldn't have gotten through the day
WITHOUT YOU

But A Moment
You'll always be my child-I think of you each day,
Even though you must remain so very far away.
A love as strong as this, I've never felt before;
But you had to go away-up through heaven's door.
You'll never have to suffer, or feel pain or hate,
just peace and love and happiness-
God has given you this fate.
I hope that you can feel just how much I care;
And, When my days are over, in a flash-I will be there.
Pure unbounding joy! We'll never have to part.
You'll be right by my side-And not just in my heart.
But, until that day, when my dream is real-
I think I understand, just how I should feel...
"Mom, I am fine!" this must be what you would say-
"Please don't be so sad, we'll meet again one day:
I'm with God above - so don't cry for me,
Our parting is but a moment compared to eternity."

LOVING MEMORIES
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stills the heart,
That loved us well and true,
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one,
Nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now our hearts are sore,
As times go by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

FORGOTTEN? - NEVER!
Friends may think we have forgotten
When at times they see us smile.
Little do they know the heartaches
That our smiles hide all the while.
Beautiful memories are wonderful things.
That last till the longest day.
They never wear out.
They never get lost and
can never be given away.
To some you may forgotten.
To others apart of the past.
But to those who loved
and lost you...
Your memory will always last.

Remember Me
To the living I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So, as you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea-
Remember me.
As you look in awe at a mighty forest
And its grand majesty
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart,
Your thoughts and your memories
Of the times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed,
For if you always think of me,
I will never be gone from your side.

There Is A Special Angel
There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.
He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn't very far.
He touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
I would've held him every minute
if the end I only knew.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send him all my love.

May you always have an angel by your side,
Watching out for you in everything you do,
Reminding you to believe in brighter days
And make your dreams come true.
Giving you hope for those lonely nights,
And someone there to catch you when you fall.
I wish I could be with you holding your hand,
And wipeing away your tears,
So I'm sending you an angel,
To take away your fears,
to guide you and protect you,
Though all the coming years.
So hurry home my dearest son,
however far you fly,
You'll never be alone my son,
On earth or sea or sky.
My heart will travel with you,
until the war is done.
Then your angel will guide you safly home,
my child, my boy, my son.

I Want You To Know
by Angela
A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.
Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.
All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.
I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.
I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.
A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.
Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.

Stairway To Heaven
You can hear it said quite often,
"I know Heaven Is My Home";
But no-one is in a hurry
to begin that trip alone.
It's a one-way trip to Heaven...
To their Mansion that awaits;
But they can't take friends and loved ones
with them, through those Pearly gates.
And there's something about leaving,
while their loved ones are still here.
All alone, facing that journey...
So, I guess that is their fear.
They just want to "live" forever;
Death is not their favorite thing...
They're "afraid" to go to Heaven,
where the Angels always sing.
Yet I have my own opinion,
of what "death" will bring for me.
And I know I won't feel lonely,
All Because of "Calvary".
Jesus promised He'd be with me;
'Said I'd never be alone;
I believe "On Wings of Love"
That my Lord will take me home".
I will wear a robe of white and then
At last His face I'll see.
I know death is just "A Stairway"
To the one who died for me.
I can hardly wait to see that
"Holy One of Galilee";
That has been my one desire,
since I heard He died for me.
What a thrill to touch His face;
To hold the hands of "God's own Son"
and I'll cherish That one moment,
When He says, "My Child Well Done".
"Death Is Nothing But A "Stairway"
To "God's Heaven" Up Above.
Jesus has for me, a "mansion"
and my "Deed" Is Signed "With Love".

Memories of You, My Child
Today, I awoke with memories of you,
our days were too short,
our memories, far too few.
Every season which passes,
each anniversary of that day,
I look up to Our Father,
and I begin to pray.
O, Father in Heaven,
hold my child close;
And give my child the love,
which they need the most.
Allow my child to look down
and see us here below;
May all the love we bear,
be theirs to know.
I realize that with You, Father,
my child is even more blessed;
But, it's difficult, you see,
as we do our very best.
To live each day,
without them in our view,
but I know my child is happier,
up in Heaven, with You.
Take my child by the hand, Dear Lord,
and give to it a flower.
And tell my child that we still cherish and love,
and are so happy that they were ours.
We borrowed our dear one from You, for just awhile,
savoring each moment we had;
They're all safe now, away from every harm,
and we are ever so glad.
Touch our hearts, Father,
and mend all the broken pieces.
And may the love we hold for our child,
extend to others, as it reaches,
Out to the hurting,
those who are grieving and in the same pain,
and may we feel Your mighty embrace,
as we remember once again.
May we linger safely until we, too,
cross upon the Golden Strand,
and there to greet us on one side will
be Our Sweet Jesus,
and on the other, our little Angel,
with an outstretched hand.

Our hands held you ever so closely,
to the lovestrings of our hearts.
We never thought we'd lose you,
or that, so suddenly, you'd depart.
Memories of you strengthen us,
as we continue on with our lives.
Not a single day, a single hour goes by,
that the image of you isn't before our eyes.
It seems as only yesterday,
you held so tightly onto my hand.
And now, you've gone to live in Heaven,
and are now one in the Angels' band.
If love alone could have saved you,
you would be with us still.
We loved you ever so deeply,
and we always will.
Though death has come between us,
you shall always be here in our hearts.
We hold you close in memory,
just as we did,
before your journey to Heaven, you embarked.

Missing You
No words I write can ever say,
How much I miss you everyday.
As time goes by the loneliness grows,
How I miss you...nobody knows.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
But all I have are memories,
And a photo in frame.
No one see's me weep.
But the love I have for you,
Is in my heart and mine to keep.
I never stopped loving you,
I don't think I ever will.
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches this world are many,
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you....and miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply,
Are often the hardest things to say.
But I just can't keep quite anymore,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart,
That no one can fill.
I love you...and I always will.

HAPPY VALENTINE DAY
Find a Star
Twinkle twinkle little star
from you, my son I wont be far,
Up above the sky so high
you'll be the twinkle in my eye,
Look to the sky and make a wish
knowing it's you that I miss,
You I love and you I see
when bright stars shine their light on me,
For when you look into the sky
sometimes the stars dont seem so high,
Before you're off to bed at night
dream with me by our starlight,
Make a wish that could come true
know that I am dreaming of you,
Wanting you badly here with me
in my heart you'll always be,
So dont give up when dreams seem far
just look up and find a star...

A Valentine From Jesus
I love you.
You are mine.
Your name is written upon My heart.
Your prayers are precious to Me.
Your life is in My hands.
I am always with you.
I am nearer to you than your own heart.
I gave My life so that you
might live forever with Me.
All I ask in return is your love.
Be My Valentine,

P.S. You are precious in my sight,
and honored, and I love you.

YOU ASK ME HOW I'M DOING
My son went first,he lives with God
And here I must remain.
Now it's up to me to learn
To live with grief and pain
You ask me how I'm doing.
I don't know what to say
Sometimes I'm doing pretty good,
It's different every day.
Sometimes I smile, sometimes I cry,
Sometimes I feel okay.
Sometimes I think I'm going nuts,
It's difficult to say.
Sometimes I hear him call my name
Or see him wave goodbye
Sometimes I feel him here with me
And then I start to cry.
His gentle hugs are memories now,
His smiles are gone for good.
I'd love to hold his hand again:
Oh, if only I could.
It's lonely here without him
But the world keeps right on turning
And the pain I'm feeling in my heart?
That keeps right on burning.
So ask me how I'm doing
And I won't know what to say.
I haven't really, truly known
Since David went away.

ANGEL
If You Come Across an Angel
Every day, in the world around us,
real-life angels are doing the things they do...
and bringing more smiles to the world around them...
Real-life angels build bridges instead of walls.
They don't play hide-and-seek with the truth,
they do whatever they can to help you.
Real-life angels understand difficulties
and always give the benefit of the doubt.
They don't hold others up to the standards
they can't live by themselves.
Real-life angels are what "inner beauty" is all about.
Real-life angels don't hold things against you;
the only thing they hold...is you.
They take your hand in theirs
when you could use a little reassurance.
They walk beside you when you could do with a little
guidance and direction in your life.
And they support you in your attempts to do what is right.
Real-life angels multiply your smiles
and add to you interegrity.
They make you feel like,
"Hey, I really am somebody who matters."
Then they quietly prove to you how beautiful
and true that feeling really is.
If you come across an angel like this,
you are one of the luckiest people of all.
If someone in your life
is wonderfully like an angel to you,
it's important to let them know.
It's the nicest compliment you could ever give...
in all the days of your life
and in all the years that you live.

Hugs From Heaven
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

Angels Are Among Us"
When others tell me that they don't believe in angels...
I look into their eyes and smile....
As I believe angels are everywhere... all around us..among us..
You may not see halo's hovering over the top of their heads...
Although, you see the brilliance of their love reflecting beauty from
within...
You may not see wings attached to their backs... fluttering in the winds...
However, you see and feel their spirits soar like eagles...
They are there with a kind word..
a helping hand....
a listening ear... and an open heart....
I believe that angels come in so many forms to reach out to us...
In my eyes the ones who do not believe are ones deceived by all
the skepticism of the world..
I say... look around my friend...
Angels are among us...
As in my eyes you are an angel....You are my earth angel..
Sent from above...made with love...
I'm so thankful for the blessings, you my friend, have bestowed upon me...
My friend... My earth angel...
you are a angel David
