WISH YOU WERE HERE

 

Wishing you were here today

But I know it can't be this way

I think of you with each passing day

Together we'll be one - forever to stay

 

Each new day brings you closer to me

This is the way God meant it to be

Time stands between you and me

Sometimes it's hard for me to see

 

Until the day we can be together once more

Just want to say I love you so ever more

But I wish you were here but I'll just have to wait

But I will be waiting for you

 

AT HEAVEN'S GOLDEN GATES

 

ANGEL TOUCH

 

I felt a breeze which touched me today

I was touched in a special way

 

So light against my cheek I was gently touched

Could it have been an angel's touch

 

So long it's been since God called my child away

I close

 

I hear a soft voice "I LOVE YOU"

Please don't worry, I'm watching over you

 

My angel is always with me

And one day my angel I will see

 

 

 

MY RELEASE

 

I felt a release within my heart today

It felt really good but also sad in a way

I decided to accept my child is gone

Never more to return home

It's not I've given up hope you see

I know my child will always be with me

My child is gone, but never far away

I know we'll be together come some day

 

Oh yes, I miss my child so very much

Just to feel that wonderful touch

I still cry and the pain isn't gone

And sometimes I do feel so alone

 

I realized I need to let my child go

It was painful, but I felt better though

I sense happiness from my child

I felt a peace, I haven't felt in a while

 

I've started a new normal, a new me

I see light instead of darkness before me

This road will be long, detours along they way

I can do it for I am in control today

So Close To You

From Karen Kristy's Mom

My Beloved

(Dedicated to all our angels in Heaven)

The pearly gates are open wide,
To let an angel come inside.
No more tears no more pain,
Just sweet peace forever to reign.

You've done your work here on earth,
None but God knows your heavenly worth.
The master's voice you did obey,
His praise you sang both night and day,

Though friends and family weep for you,
We understand our heavenly Father
Needed you.

The time we shared was just a loan,
For now He's called you to your heavenly home.
Our hearts may be heavy and our tears may fall,
We're not to question for Christ knows all.

~ Ruth Scott ~

I Thought Of You

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and the day before that, too.
I think of you in silence, I often say your name,
But all I have is memories and your 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.
I shed tears for what might have been, a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone,
For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard him call;

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;

I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;

Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seems all to brief;

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

Grieving Silently

 

Why must I grieve silently.

When my heart is so loudly screaming?

The emptiness I feel is consuming me.

Oh God how I wish I were dreaming.

The silence arround me is deafening.

For nobody knows what to say.

To comfort this agony I'm feeling.

Since my daughter went away.

And each day the sun continues to rise.

And the earth is still turning.

Though my world has come to a screeching halt.

No one can ease my yearning.

For a part of me has vanished.

And a part of my heart has died.

And no one can hear my heartache,

or feel the turmoil I carry inside.

And I'll go on grieving silently.

And exist on a different plane.

And I'll keep my love for her deep in my heart.

Until we see each other again.

 WE DO NOT NEED A SPECIAL DAY

 

We do not need a special day

To bring you to our minds

The days we do not think of you

are very hard to find

 

Each morning when we awake

We know that you are gone

And no one knows the heartache

As we try to carry on

 

Our hearts still ache with sadness

And secret tears still flow

What it meant to lose you

No one will ever know

 

Our thoughts are always with you

Your place no one can fill

In life we loved you dearly

In death we love you still

 

There will always be a heartache

And often a silent tear

But always a precious memory

Of the days when you were here

 

If tears could build a staircase

And heartaches make a lane

We'd walk the path to heaven

And bring you home again

 

We hold you close within our hearts

And there you will remain

To walk with us throughout our lives

Until we meet again

 

Our family chain is broken now

And nothing seems the same

But as God calls us one by one

The chain will link again
