white feathers ov an angel

At the ending of the day when I'm weary
after a waterfall of tears have all been cried-
and I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary-
nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.
I lay my head upon my favorite pillow
just close my eyes to block all the sorrow-
wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside-
to do it all again- tomorrow.
And then I feel it-
inside me. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings.
The sun comes up, it's time to face the day
and I think that things are going to be all right-
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray-
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.
And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall
As I look at my reflection in the glass-
the eyes looking back at me make me feel small-
and I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?
And then I feel it-
inside me. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings. (Thank God for your angel wings)

A rainbow lights the way.

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 an angel to comfort you
And watched her take your hand.

She told me you are in more pain
Than I could ever be.
She wiped her 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.

They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.

I know how much you miss me sylv,
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.

I know your heart is hurting sylv,
The words we left, unsaid
I love you’s, left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.

The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger sylv,
Within your grieving soul.

For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray.

An angel came to see me sylv,
She took me by the hand
an angel they called margaret,
from the heavenly golden land,

As I look down from heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more grief than it can bear.

I long to bring you comfort sylv
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.

The joy I’ve found in heaven sylv
Goes far beyond compare
The love that’s so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.

The light is softly shining
There’s no storm clouds here or rain
There’s no teardrops found in heaven
There’s no suffering, there’s no pain.

You needn’t be so troubled sylv
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we’ll be together
One bright and glorious day.

So sylv you shouldn’t question
dear sylv you need not cry
I’ve gone to be with Jesus
I really didn’t die.xxx

SENT WITH MUCH LOVE

for all my family with love. ♥

its me again hear me,
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ♥

Always With You

I will be with you no matter where you are,
I will be the breeze you feel or the brightest star,
A gentle butterfly with colours all aglow,
I will be with you no matter where you go,

When you feel someone standing close to you,
Do not be afraid for it is I coming through,
I have not really left you,
For I am all around you,

Although you can not see me,
You will feel me close to you,
So until the time is right,
Just remember me with love,

For one day in the future,
You will join me in Heaven above.

in memory of jeff.xx

don't ask me if I'm over it yet

I'll never get over it
Please, dont tell me he's in a better place
He's not here with me

Please, don't say at least he isn't suffering
I haven't come to terms with why
He had to suffer at all

Please, don't tell me you know how I feel
Unless you have lost a husband
Please, don't ask me if I feel better
Bereavment isn't a condition that clears up

Please, don't tell me you had him for 60 years
What year would you chose for your husband to die?
Please, don't tell me God never gives
More than we can bear

Please, just say you are sorry
Please, just say you remember my husband
Please, just let me talk about my husband
Please mention my husbands name
Please, just let me cry.

THE GIFT OF MEMORY……

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
Of 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!

I AM YOUR ANGEL......

I am an angel by your side,
Don't be scared or try to hide.
For I am here guiding you the way,
By your side here to stay.....

I will be with you, when times are hard,
So please do not worry, or put up a guard.
For I want you too see I am still here,
To keep you safe, and keep you near....

As an angel I want so much for you to know,
'How much I Love And Miss You So'
So if you see me, please do not hide,
I am the angel by your side...

Family Chain

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

I PROMISE I WILL HEAR…..

Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand
When you thought I had died

And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life
Than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go

No more pain, hardship,
Or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.

You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.

I will always be with you,
However far you walk
I will always listen,
When you feel you need to talk

So when you are saddened
Or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge
That I am always there.

One day soon I will share with you
The happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end
Six feet beneath the ground

Forget about graveside visits
And fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers
Is surely not the way

When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.
