~ 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
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."

♥ The Promise ♥
(by Diane Robertson)

Of angel wings and heavenly things
There’s very little known,
For those who have the answers
Are, forever, from us gone.
Life in the hereafter,
In faith, I must accept;
Thoughts that trouble not the people
With families still intact.
But, those of us who’ve travelled
Down the lonely path of grief,
Are forever seeking answers
To the riddle, which is life.
We trek through shadowed forests
Past the ugly shroud of death,
Toward a promise for the future
Of a kinder, better place.
So, we look to see the angel wings
And listen for the hymn
That God will send to guide us
When we leave to be with Him.

❁ The Tapestry of Life ❁
(Author Unknown)

"Tis said that old Time is a shuttle,
Swift weaving the web of our days;
In and out fly fast speeding moments
Thro' the warp and the wool of earth's maze.
***************************************
At times all the colors seem sombre,
Again there are dashes of bright;
Anon all life's threads knot and tangle,
And only defects meet our sight,
***************************************
Full often we stand and in wonder
We gaze at the unveiling loom,
Which hides the design of the fabric
Until we have reached the dark tomb.
***************************************
Only this do we know that the groundwork,
Thro' which the bright colors are twined,
Is woven of charity's fibers,
Which serve the threads closely to bind.
***************************************
And when the last thread has been broken,
And the loom is forever at rest,
We shall see that our life's great Designer,
Knew what for His children was best.

High Flight.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of; wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air;
Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark nor even eagle flew;
And while, with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high, un-trespassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

☆•☆ A MESSAGE FROM YOUR ANGEL ☆•☆

♥ I'd Rather See You Smiling ♥
(� Alan Pemberton)

You must not think that I have gone
Please don't grieve or pine
I'd rather see you smiling
Laughing - working - looking fine
Death is an exciting key
Which opens many doors
It leads us into other worlds
Quite similar to yours
Life is not an accident
Death is not the end
God designed a mystery
Life and death do blend
So do not think that I have gone
Please don't brood or pine
I'd rather see you smiling
Laughing - working - looking fine


☆•☆ A TENDER REPLY ☆•☆

♥ I Promise ♥
(Author Unknown)

I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.

I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.

I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.

I promise I will endeavour
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.

The years will fall like autumn leaves upon her memory.
The touch of Time will ease the heartache, gently, tenderly...
It cannot always be like this; the agony will cease.
And I, resigned, shall find at last - my healing and my peace.
There comes a time when grief must end and sorrow pass away.
Never will she be forgotten - but there'll come a day -
when I shall remember her without a stab of pain -
happy in the secret knowledge that we'll meet again.

(Patience Strong)

♥═══♥ Life is a Journey ♥═══♥

Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey:
From childhood to maturity
and youth to age;
From innocence to awareness
and ignorance to knowing;
From foolishness to desecration
and then perhaps to wisdom.
From weakness to strength or
from strength to weakness
and often back again;
From health to sickness
and we pray to health again.
From offence to forgiveness
from loneliness to love
from joy to gratitude
from pain to compassion
from grief to understanding
from fear to faith.
From defeat to defeat to defeat
until looking backwards or ahead
We see that victory lies not
at some high point along the way
but in having made the journey
step by step
a sacred pilgrimage.
Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey;
A sacred journey to life everlasting.

God bless you for remembering my beloved Grandad 25 years after we lost him. The kind messages of love yesterday meant so much to me and my family. Much love. xxx

Rest your weary head and drift off into dreams,
Frolic in the sunshine and bathe in God's moonbeams.
Use the stars as stepping-stones to take you to your peace,
The pain of life forgotten now you have found release.
Without rain a flower folds, the petals drop and die,
There was no way to save you, you couldn't even cry.
So we cry all the tears instead as we must let you go
To Heaven, and God's garden to blossom and to grow.
The little seed is planted, you'll be watered every day,
The angels will tend all your needs as in their arms you lay.
Your life will be amazing now and full of wondrous things,
Rest in peace, our dear, sweet Annie, go fly on angels wings.
