for you patrick with love xxx

By...Isla Paschal Richardson
Read by Gregory Peck at Frank Sinatra's funeral, 1998
To Those I Love If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love To go along the silent way. . . Grieve not.
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me As if I were beside you there.
(I'd come. . .I'd come, Could I but find a way! But would not tears and And grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song Or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let the thought of me Be sad. . .
for I am loving you Just as I always have. . . You were so good to me!
There are so many things I wanted still to do. . .
So many things I wanted to say to you. . .
Remember that I did not fear. . .
It was Just leaving you That was so hard to face.
We cannot see beyond. . . But this I know:
I loved you so. . . 'twas heaven here with you

When tomorrow starts without me

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME AND I'M NOT THERE TO SEE. IF THE SUN SHOULD RISE AND FIND YOUR EYES
FILLED WITH TEARS FOR ME.I WISH THAT YOU WOULDN'T CRY...THE WAY YOU DID TODAY,WHILE THINKING OF THE MANY THINGS WE DIDN'T GET TO SAY.I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVED ME, AS MUCH AS I LOVED YOU AND EACH TIME THAT YOU THINK OF ME, I KNOW THAT YOU'LL MISS ME TOO.
BUT WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT AN ANGEL CAME AND CALLED MY NAME
AND TOOK ME BY THE HAND. HE SAID MY PLACE WAS READY IN HEAVEN FAR ABOVE AND THAT I HAD TO LEAVE THOSE I DEARLY LOVE. SO WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME DON'T THINK WE ARE FAR APART FOR EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF ME, I WILL FOREVER BE IN YOUR HEART.

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

A Bend In The Road

♥ღ♥ When we feel we have nothing left to give
and we are sure that the song has ended,
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
and the darkness of night has descended,
Where can we go to find the strength
to valiantly keep on trying?
Where can we find the hand that will dry
the tears that the heart is crying?

There's but one place to go and that is to God,
and dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint
and gain strength with Him at our side.
And together we stand at life's crossroads
and view what we think is the end.

But God has a much bigger vision,
and He tells us it's only a bend,
For the road goes on and is smoother,
and the pause in the song is a rest,
And the part that's unsung and unfinished
is the sweetest and richest and best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger
let go and let God share your load.
Your work is not finished or ended
you've just come to a bend in the road ♥ღ♥

with lots of love theresa xxx

my rock

my rock Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking, "When I phone,
I can talk of this or that!"
Then remember, I'm alone

you was always there
To answer my calls -
To listen to my "small talk"
Or when I climbed the walls.

At times, I didn't feel like talking
And somehow, you understood -
you Didn't say you wished I'd call
Or make me feel like I should.

Now, I wish I would have
More times, to show I cared -
To say, just how important
Were, all those times we shared.

I could have shown my love
So much more than I did -
I never, did it enough
Even when I was a kid.

Now it's too late to do or say
All those things I wish I had -
No way to ease the pain inside
When my heart is sad.

you was my "anchor" to this life -
The "rock", that I clung to -
The place, where I could turn
When, nowhere else would do.
Now, the ravages of time
Have worn my "rock" away -
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday.

with love from melinda & Alex´s family

The Rose beyond the Garden wall

A rose grew where all could see ჱܓ
sheltered beside a garden wall.
And, as the days passed swiftly by ჱܓ
it spread its branches, straight and tall...
One day, a beam of light shone through ჱܓ
a crevice that had opened wide ~
The rose bent gently toward its warmth ჱܓ
then passed beyond to the other side...
Now, you who deeply feel its loss ჱܓ
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
Its beauty even greater now ჱܓ
nurtured by God's own loving care.

Stars

Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones
Shine down
To let us know they
Are happy.

Good Morning Beautiful Angel Patrick

I will wait for you
Though we never had a chance to say goodbye
Remember me....
When winter snows are falling
Through a quite sky

I'll remember you
When, in our darkest hour
You held my hand and prayed
I wouldn't go...
But a silent voice called out to me;
My time had come
And I had to travel home

Since then I know your life
Has never been the same
For I visit you each day:
So many times I've felt your pain
I've watched you cry
And I've heard you call my name...

But now further along life's road
I stand in a timeless world
Just beyond your sight
Waiting for the day
When I can take your hand
And bring you across to this
Land of Golden Light...

Till then remember me
You understand -
And try not to cry
But if you do
Let your tears falls
For the happiness and joy we knew
And for the special love we shared
For love can never die

Unknown

Love Always Mary xxxx
