Memories

Memories




Memories are with me

No matter where I go

Sometimes I let them linger

Then I live them through.




Other times I push them

Yesterday is gone

I try to live for now

Because the past is done.




Happy memories I let stay

Those are great to visit

So I let my mind just stray

As I relax and sit.




The places are far away

The sights are not around me

Still at times I see them clear

When I let them be.




People I've loved that are gone

I can recall when I try

I don't do it too often

I miss them and I cry.




So memories have their place

In the doors of my mind's store

Sometimes I'll open one

Then it's yesterday once more.

This Tribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual For Monday


LITTLE ANGELS

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realise God loves children
Angels are hard to find.

If roses grow in heaven,
Lord Please pick one for me.
Place it in my Loved ones hand
And tell them it's from me.
Tell them that I love them
And when they turn to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheek
And hold them for a while.
Remembering them is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.



I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.

Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.

So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.



If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.

This Tribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit On Sunday Night As Usual

Everyone Have A Good Weekend



To My Dearest Family, Some Things I'd Like To Say.
But first of all, to let you know,
That I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every
Morning, Noon and Night.
That day I had to leave you
When my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on.
There's so much that we have to do,
To help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things,
That he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
Was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
The day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....
In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
And all those loving years.
Because you are only human,
They are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
It does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
Unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
All that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
You wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you
And many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
By taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
The world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
Who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....
My life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
Who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
As on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
And you've got Me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....
From that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....
You're coming here to Me.

The moment that you died,
My heart split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their LOVED ONES,
Treat them with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and they’re not there.

Monday Gift From Me To You
XxXxX

I send to you this Eve a gift of words, like a cloud delivering rain.
May they fall upon you ever so gently and wash away your pain.
For you and all your loved ones, I bow my head and pray.
May these prayers somehow guide you and help you find your way.

My thoughts and prayers are also with you, as you begin your day.
Only You and I, and God, know what these words attempt to say.
Never look into the past – move forward and straight ahead.
Do as your heart tells you, your soul will be fed.
Always remember how very special you are.
Your friendship to me is a beautiful, bright shining star.

For this friendship that we share, I send this small token,
May it somehow help you repair all that is broken.
There is a power on this earth greater than You and I,
He is the one who stirs your emotions and allows you to cry.

Our grief is like a river
We have to let it flow
but we ourselves determine
just when the banks will go.

Some days the current takes us
in waves of guilt and pain
but there are always quiet pools
where we can rest again.

We crash on rocks of anger
Our faith seems faint indeed
but there are other swimmers
who know what we need.

Are loving hands to hold us,
when the waters are too swift
and someone kind to listen
when we just seem to drift


Grief's river is a process
of relinquishing the past
By swimming in hopes of channels
We'll reach the shore at last.

In my thoughts and prayers. Love from Liz Stuart Maxwell's mum

Dear Mr Hallmark

I am writing to you from Heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my loved ones, as there finding it very hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a person who lives in heaven.
They are still my loved ones too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my family so.
They talk with me, and dream with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My loved ones carries me in there heart, there tears they hide from sight.
They write poems to honor me, sometimes long into the night
They plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
They write to other grieving familys, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr.Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind my family of there wondrous worth.
They need to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the people of earth will do.

Thank you Mr.Hallmark, I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me
Until I can do it for myself, when they join me in eternity

WISHING YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR

I just wanted to say THANK YOU
In a special kind of way
For all the messages and thoughts
You share with me each day

I've tried to think of all the things
That say how much I care
And so I'm sending special hugs
For all of you to share

So I'm sending you this message
It's what I want to do
To say how much I really care
For every one of you.
