For You Grandad

If we could only speak to you,
And hold your loving hand,
No matter what we said or did,
We know you'd understand.

Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane we so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our lives to share,
But in our hearts you're always there.

Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.XxXxX



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

A Kiss that's sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss that's very special
From someone that you love.

For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For it's meant for only you.

So when your heart is heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again.

About the one you grieve for
And so sadly miss
That gentle breeze you took for granted
♥♥♥ Was your Angel's Kiss. ♥♥♥

Letter From Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I would like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this letter 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, It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. I need you here badly, your part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." 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 days 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, 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, If I were to tell you, you would not understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. I am 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 step at a time. It was always my philosophy and I would 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 was worthwhile. 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 them 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 your 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.

For The Loved Ones

I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
Then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
Or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way.
Those we love remain with us,
For love lives on.
And cherished memories never fade,
Because a loved one's gone …

For You Papa

I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart
