hen somebody passes, a cloud turns into
an angel, and flies up to tell God
to put another flower on a pillow.
A bird gives the message back to
the world, and sings a silent prayer
that makes the rain cry. People dis-
appear, but they never really go away.
The spirits up there put the sun to
bed, wake up grass, and spin the
earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you
can see them dancing in a cloud during
the day-time, when they're supposed
to be sleeping
They paint the rain-
bows and also the sunsets and make
waves splash and tug at the tide.
They toss shooting stars and listen to
wishes.
And when they sing wind-
songs, they whisper to us, don't
miss me too much. The view is nice
and I'm doing just fine.
God has sent His angels
To gather here on earth
And surround us with their presence
From the moment of our birth
I believe they intercede
And oftentimes appear
To protect us in our time of need
Guardian angels always near
So never fear what lies ahead
As you travel each day through
For there are angels by your side
Watching over you

Heavens Music
Angel sending melody
From Heaven in the sky
Music that will fill the Heart
Golden notes now fly
Wind is sending harmony
as breezes enter soft
creating philharmonic sound
on Angel's wings they waft
Calm and peace to fill the earth
like gentle silent prayer
music now will enter hearts
like softest love you wear
close your eyes and hear him play
the bounty of God's best
traveling from way up high
each one of us so blest
Hear the sound of love today
so nestled in a breeze
take the time to hear the music
it puts your Heart at ease
music blends with nature's LOVE
such Glory that will stay
upon the souls of everyone
Love's concert of the day!
Door of memories will never close.
How much we miss our Angels no one knows.
Days will pass like years,
and we will remember
the memories in silent tears.
If we could visit Heaven even for a day,
Maybe for a moment the pain would go away.
I'd put my arms around you and whisper words so true,
That living life without you is the hardest thing to do.
No matter how we spend our days,
No matter what we do,
No morning dawns or evening falls...
When we don't think of you.
A Mother's Prayer
Lord, today is Mother's Day, but my heart is split in two.
Half is with the child still here,
The other with the child that is now there with you.
All the lovely presents are a nice surprise,
But the one thing I want most is missing,
And tears fill my eyes.
I know when you sent him, Lord,
You didn't promise how long he would stay.
All you said was to love him and treasure each and every day.
But Lord, it crushed my heart when you called for his return.
I feel like half a Mom, as I ache, weep and yearn.
But Lord, tell him I love him just as much as I did before.
And could you please make a window,
so he can see through heaven's door ?
Let him see that he is missed and thought of with each breath.
And that a Mother's love begins before life, and does not end with death.
So, on this Mother's Day, the Greatest Gift, I give to you.
For Lord, I know you missed him and you loved him, too.
A Symbol of Hope
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world.
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

ANGEL MOMS
We have shared our tears and our sorrow.
We have given encouragement to each other -
given hope for a brighter tomorrow.
We share the title of grieving mother.
Some of us lost older daughters or sons,
who we watched grow over the years.
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age, we cry the same tears.
We understand each other’s pain,
The bond we share is very strong.
With each other there is no need to explain.
The path we walk is hard and long.
Our children brought us together -
they didn't want us on this journey alone.
They knew we needed each other
to survive the pain of them being gone.
So take my hand my friend.
We may stumble and fall along the way,
but we'll get up and try again
because together we can make it day by day.
We can give each other hope.
We'll create a place where we belong.
Together we will find ways to cope,
because we are Angel Moms and together we are strong!
Hugs From Heaven
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress 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 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 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.
The angel of January teaches us to look within, to take stock of ourselves and our lives.
The January angel keeps us company as we ponder over those long, cold winter nights, helping us to be honest with ourselves and patient at the same time. Conveying the wisdom of an elder, the January angel takes our hand as we seek to glean understanding from our lessons from the past year. With this support, we can give ourselves both recognition and admonition in their turn. With this help, we can chart a new course or alter our present one.
We seek and receive the companionship of the angel of January to warm us through the winter of our introspection.

Remember me
.
Remember me when flowers bloom
early in the spring,
Remember me on sunny days
in the fun that summer brings.
.
Remember me in the fall
as you walk through the leaves of gold,
And in the winter - remember me
In the stories that are told.
.
But most of all remember
each day - right from the start,
I will be forever near
for I live within your heart.

I promise I won't cry forever,
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.
I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years,
But I need another day.
I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife,
I'll face it straight and true.
I promise I will endeavor
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever,
But I need to just today.
If I had one lifetime wish
One dream that could come true.
I'd pray to God so hard
For yesterday and you.
They say memories are golden.
Well, maybe, Son, that is true,
But I never wanted memories.
I only wanted you.
I love you, Son.
Rest softly now, my angel love
Upon billowed clouds of white.
Look downward from the stars above
Upon the world tonight.
While knowing that within my heart
Your love shall always be.
For though we are now worlds apart,
You're still the life in me.
Rest softly now, my angel dear,
As moonbeams cross the blue.
Your spirit shall be ever near
Each time I think of you.
As I continue on the course
To bring me Home, Once more
Your love shall be the guiding force
Leading to Heaven's door.
Rest softly now, my angel love
Atop God's golden stairs.
Look downward from the stars above
And know that nothing compares
To all the love you freely gave
In this life, 'Til the end.
Your heart shall live beyond the grave
Rest softly now, my son.

My First Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting in the snow.
The site is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear.
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent each of you a special gift from my Heavenly home above,
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessings or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tear,
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
And I will light a candle for you
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew,
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change.
I keep on moving on, you know it's not the same.
And when I'm walking all alone,
Do you hear me call your name?
Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise,
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes.
And through the good times and the bad,
We carried on with pride.
I hold on to the love and life we knew,
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night,
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
Paul Alexander
A Star in the heavens,
Still shining as the day you left,
Still showing your love and lack of fear,
Still twinkling your special smile.
A Star in the heavens,
But so distant, so far away,
But not without love and care,
But now at peace in your place.
A Star in the heavens,
I smile every time I see you above
A Star in the heavens,
The brightest, most beautiful star,
You Shine...So bright...Angel Star!

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly,
and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant;
they, too, have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others,
you may become vain and bitter;
For, always, there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing
fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself, especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture the strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune,
but do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be;
and whatever your labours and aspirations
in the noisey confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
