Thibutes For Week Starting 26th October


♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR MONDAY

In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear Loved One
That we do not think of you.

FOR TUESDAY

Nothing can ever take away
The love a heart holds dear.
Fond memories linger every day
Remembrance keeps them near.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.

FOR THURSDAY

Those we love we never lose,
For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.

FOR FRIDAY

Memories Of Me

I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done..

I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave behind
When life is done.


FOR SATURDAY

Separated For Now


Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.

Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this candle be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.


FOR SUNDAY

A Special Gift

You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...

For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!

However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...

Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.

We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

BUTTERFLIES FROM HEAVEN

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆

When we lose our loved ones they never die
For I know once heaven takes their souls
The Dear Lord leaves a little of them here
To turn into beautiful butterflies
So they can be near our hearts

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆

Blessed are those who can see the beauty
Of the life which has gone to what is "God's Art"
When we look for the angels
They will send us Jesus' love
I saw a butterfly today, my last prayer I gave away

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆

Heaven is more than souls of our loved ones
When a father, mother, a brother, sister or a child dies
Their hearts live in those who have loved them
Every grain of sand, every sunrise and sunset
All the good things we know and love
They all go to Jesus for Him to protect

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆

As a gift, The Lord, lets us have a glimpse of those we love
For a brief moment in time, for a short while
A butterfly is seen at our window, sent from heaven
Then we know, all will be well with those we love.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆

Angel Dust

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

The angel flies in and hovers over your bed
Blowing angel dust to bring you sweet rest
To settle over your tired, anxious spirit
Can you not hear it
The rustle of her fluttering wings
As the angel blows her dust and sweet rest it brings
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
With a smile the angel flutters away
To leave you in her masters care
Knowing the heavenly father is always there
Sending sweet night dreams to ease troubles away
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
So settle my child
And drift away to sweet peace and rest
Allowing troubles to drift away
And arise to joy in the morning
Of a brand new day

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Walking with an Angel

✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻

Walking with an angel,
I do it every day
Your guardian angel is with you,
come what may.
Assigned by God,
and sent to watch over you
He's with you each day,
no matter what you do.

You don't believe,
you don't think this is so
He guards each step you take,
he wants you to know.
Ever been close to death,
just one step away,
Catch yourself saying,
boy was I ever lucky today.

Luck didn't do it,
whether you realize it or not
Protected in his arm's,
the Lord has not forgot
You don't believe,
you don't think this is so
He guards each step you take,
he wants you to know.

More times than you know,
death does knock
But your angel will protect,
if you're planted firmly on the rock.
The next time you come close,
take a good look around,
He may be right next to you,
or no where to be found.

You don't believe,
you don't think this is so,
He guards each step you take,
he wants you to know
You may or may not see him,
but he's always there
Remember that the next time
you miss death by a hair.

Do you need an angel,
do you know where to look
All the promises are given,
just read it in God's book

You don't believe,
you don't think this is so
He guards each step you take,
he wants you to know

The minute you are saved,
you're assigned an angel of your own.
He will see you through,
till God calls you home.
On that day he will step forward
and take your hand,
He will lead you through the gate,
home to the promise land.
You don't believe,
you don't think this is so.
He guards each step you take,
he loves you, and wants you to know.

My place for you

•:*:• ♥•:*: •:*:• ♥•:*: •:*:• ♥•:*: •:*:• ♥•:*:

There is a secret place
Within the heart of me
Where thoughts of you return
Like haunting melodies.
The voice I loved, now still,
Is whispering inside,
It stirs fond memories
Which in my heart reside.
Old feelings spring to life;
It is as if you're near,
Speaking words of comfort
"Remember I'm still here".
I know it is a dream
My heart so loves this song;
Souvenirs I store away
In the place where they belong.

~GRIEF~

Grief
so
deep,
that it makes this tight hurting in my chest,
I feel alone with it...



Grief
so
deep,
that my subconscious is immersed in tears,
I feel alone with it...



Grief
so
deep,
that it makes me feel a hundred years old,
I feel alone with it...



Grief
so
deep,
that only I can know it so intimately,
I feel alone with it...



Grief
so
deep,
that I believe will always be there,
so alone with me...



Grief
so
deep,
that I know I can not handle it,
without You, God...

︽♥︽ Good Morning.. ︽♥︽

Special Angel..
I have just popped by to say..
I hope you have a great day today
It's October now..
And the leaves start to fall..
From all the trees that stand so tall

It's getting cold..
And the birds fly away
They will all fly back..
On a summers day

Before we know it Christmas will be here
You can party with your Angel friends..
And sing and dance and cheer

All your family miss you..
And love you very much
Please remember precious Angel..
Always stay in touch

You shine just like a diamond..
And glisten like the snow
Your family miss you so very much..
And that's a fact I know

Keep your family safe..
On this October day
For you will always be their Angel..
And in their hearts you'll stay

Angel whispers

☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

Last night I had a dream
When an angel I did see,
She took my hand in hers
And whispered "follow me".


I flew with her to Heaven
On wings of purest white,
We danced amidst the stars
That sparkled in the night.

On the pathway to the moon,
I looked down upon the earth
And suddenly remembered,
The moment of my birth.

The angel looked at me,
Her lips curved in a smile,
Knowing I'd recalled,
She'd walked with me each mile.

She was my special angel;
God's creation just for me,
To guide me in my life,
And through eternity

I didn't want to leave her,
As we stood in heavenly bliss,
But she whispered her goodbye
And departed with a kiss.

Awaking in the morning,
Warm sunshine stroked my face
Had I just dreamt of my angel,
Or was it real - that heavenly place?

I felt such peace within me,
It seemed so very clear,
Then I swear I heard her whisper,
"You know I'm always here'.

Just look at all these stars..
They shine bright up in the sky
God took you to heaven far TOO SOON..
Without given a reason why

Now you are the brightest star..
That lights up the sky at night
We love and miss you so very much..
God Bless..
Sweet dreams..
Sleep tight
