In memory

Birthday Blessings

Softly the leaves of memory fall.
Gently I gather and treasure them all,
Unseen, unheard, you are always near,
STILL LOVED, still missed, so very dear.
No length of time can take away,
My thoughts of you from day to day,
Whatever else I fail to do,
I never fail to think of you.

A daily thought
A constant tear
A silent wish
That you were here

candle burns in our hearts forever

Eternally

In quiet times I often sit
And find my mind adrift
To another place, another time
And oh! My spirits lift!

I see your happy, smiling face,
And that twinkle in your eye.
I hear you sing your favorite song
And I laugh...and then I cry.

Inside my heart Sweet Memories
Stay with me each day
I cherish, and I cling to them
For I miss you in every way.

Each thing I see...
Each thing I do, brings you close to me
For everything upon this earth
Brings Sweet Memories of you.

I imagine our reunion
Some day at heaven`s gate
It fills my heart with happiness...
But for now, I`ll have to wait.

Until my life upon this earth
And my work here is complete
Sweet Memories will keep me
Until at last again we meet.

An Angel`s Kiss

We go through life so often,
Not stopping to enjoy the day.
And we take each one for granted,
As we travel on our way.

For in your pain and sorrow,
An Angel`s Kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private,
For it is meant for only you.

We never stop to measure,
Anything we just might miss.
But if the wind should blow by softly,
You`ll feel an Angel`s Kiss.

A kiss that is sent from heaven,
A kiss from up above
A kiss that is very special,
From someone that you love.

So when, your hearts are heavy,
And filled with tears and pain.
And no one can console you,
Remember once again.

About the ones you grieve for,
Because you sadly miss.
And the gentle breeze you took for granted,
Was just an Angel`s Kiss.

TOGETHER FOR EVER

TO LEAVE THE OLD YEAR WITH
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the things that bind you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that`s past;
To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worth while of the days grown old;
To dare go forth with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that`s new;
To help your brother along the road,
To do his work and lift his load;
To add your gift to the world`s good cheer,
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.

THREE SPECIAL ANGELS

BALLONS TO HEAVEN

HOLDING THE KEY TO MY HEART

"To my dearest family, some things I`d like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I`m writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there`s no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

"Please do not be unhappy just because I`m out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said "I welcome you,

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do,
and foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day`s chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some

rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn`t understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o`er.
I`m closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I`d like it for you too....
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you

If you can help somebody who`s in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night... "My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented.... that my life has been wothwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you`re walking down the street, and you`ve got me on your mind;
I`m walking in you footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it`s time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you`re not going.... you`re coming here to me.

united in heaven

together forever

WITH EYES CLOSED

                                  With eyes closed for the final time,
                                             Tomorrow will not be,
                                      I`m free of pain and suffering,
                                            So do not weep for me.
                                     No tears, no sadness do I feel,
                                             My spirit`s so happy,
                                    Go on and live each day ahead,
                                         And know I`ve been set free.
                                          The beauty here is ecstacy,
                                      No need to grieve or carry on,
                                  I`m still alive though you can`t see,
                                           I`m home where I belong.
                                    A heart of gold stopped beating,
                                             two shining eyes at rest,
                                    God broke our hearts to prove,
                                               He only takes the best.
                                   God knows you had to leave us,
                                           But you did not go alone,
                                    For a part of us went with you,
                                         The day He took you home.
                                         To some you are forgotten,
                                    To others just a part of the past,
                        But to those of us who loved and lost you,
                                        The memory will always last.
