ANGEL CRYIL XXXXXXXXXX

Last night at bedtime I looked out
to say goodnight to you
and out the window through the clouds
a star came shining through...

It sparkled and it twinkled
like a precious diamond stone
it looked as if it winked at me
and I felt less alone...

On earth we can see starlight
even if the star has gone
and though you are not with me
your light still does shine on...

So though I cannot kiss your face
or hug you oh so tight
I'll look to Heaven, see a star
and whisper your goodnight...

DREAMS

I had a dream last night..
Like the night before
That a beautiful angel came..
And knocked at my door

I opened the door..
With much delight
There was my angel
Glowing so bright

I could not believe it..
I had to wipe my eyes
For my angel had flown..
Down from the sky

I held my angel so very tight
In my dream I had last night
Was it a dream?
Or was I awake?
I hope it was real..
For mine and my angels sake.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Our Reunion in Heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ



We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.

How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.

A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.

Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more

Heaven

If we could visit heaven,ღ♥ღ
Even for a day,ღ♥ღ
Maybe for a moment,ღ♥ღ
The pain would go away,ღ♥ღ
I'd put my arms around you,ღ♥ღ
And whisper words so true,ღ♥ღ
That living life without you,ღ♥ღ
Is the hardest thing to do.ღ♥ღ
No matter how we spend our days,ღ♥ღ
No matter what we do,ღ♥ღ
No morning dawns or evening falls,ღ♥ღ
When we don't think of you xx.ღ♥ღ

OUR LOVING GRANDAD XXXX

special grandad
♥ღ♥
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.
♥ღ♥
LOVE ALWAYS GRANDAD.
LOVE YOUR AMY.

♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥

One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥

The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Our dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥

It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)

When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

CRYIL

No further away than a picture,
A smile, or remembered phrase,
Our loved ones live in memory -
So close in so many ways.
For how often does a sunset
Bring nostalgic thoughts to mind
Of moments that our loved one shared
In days now left behind!
How often has a flower
Or a crystal autumn sky
Brought golden recollections
Of happy day gone by!
Yes, memory has a magic way
Of keeping loved ones near -
Ever close in mind and heart
Are the ones we hold most dear.
