You're never alone, you've an angel,
Although it may seem far away;
Somewhere up in the sky,
Above where the clouds fly,
But that's where they come from,
Not where they reside;
You just have to call them to be by your side,
'Cause you're never alone,
You've an angel.

Soft fluttering of wings,
their transparent figures standing on the edge of eternity...
sleep neither day or night as heavenly guards,
watching daily over you and me.

Friends are like Angels
Friends are like Angels
Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.
Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.
Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,
Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious things.

Tributes For This Week Starting 19th October
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
FOR TUESDAY
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...
FOR WEDNESDAY
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
FOR THURSDAY
Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.
FOR FRIDAY
ROSES GROW IN HEAVEN
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved ones arms
And tell them they're from me
Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turn to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...
FOR SATURDAY
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
As you hold me close in memory,
Even though we are apart,
My spirit will live on,
There within your heart .
I am with you always.
When you lean on trusted friends
And their caring hugs enfold you,
Within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.
And beyond the far horizon
When we'll finally be together,
Where love will be eternal
And life will last forever.
I am with you always.
FOR SUNDAY
TRUE LOVE
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.

The flutter of your wings
~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~ *~♥x♥~
Sometimes when I'm very quiet
I can hear "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
The sound is like music to my ears
and it makes my heart sing
*~♥x♥~
When loneliness and emptiness
bring not a sound to hear
You know exactly what I need
as you flutter past my ear
*~♥x♥~
Sometimes when I'm very still
I can almost feel "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
Their feathery touch is like magic
and much peace and comfort it brings
*~♥x♥~
When I am left with no one
to hug or hold on to
You gently wrap me in your wings
and your love I feel is true
*~♥x♥~
Sometimes when I am all alone
and against the distant sky
I can almost see "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
It brings a tear of happiness to my eye
*~♥x♥~
When I look around and find not a soul
who cares if I live or die
You flutter your wings up in the clouds
and I find comfort in the sky
*~♥x♥~
You are my Guardian Angel
and when I hear, feel and see
This means you are close by my side
and are watching over me
*~♥x♥~
Sometimes when I feel so alone
you remind me that I'm loved
My angel sent down from heaven
with much love from up above
*~♥x♥~
The love and closeness I sense from you
is all the reassurance I need
That I am someone very special
and I will follow where you lead
~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~ *~♥x♥~

Just to Hear You Say I Love You
He left me & I lost a big part of me.
I'd go to hell & back over & over again
Just to hear you say I love you one last time
You were my everything
You were that special one
You were one in a million
I'm missing you
What did I do to deserve this
I didn't even get one last kiss
I need to feel you holding me
I need & I want to feel your touch one last time
God took you away from me
It seems he needed an angel
I'd cry for you
I'd even take your place in heaven
Because I love you
What did I do to deserve this
My life will never be the same without you
I miss you
I miss your touch
I miss your love
Its hard for me to tell you how
Much I love you as I'm standing over your grave
Why did you have to go
Why couldn't you just stay
I miss you
I'd do anything just to hear you say I love you one last time.
love always jackie xxxxxxX
missing our Angels in heaven for friday 16th of october Light A Candle
� J
light a candle,
see it glow,
watch it dance,
when you feel low,
think of me,
think of light,
I'll always be here,
day or night,
a candle flickers,
out of sight,
but in your heart,
I still burn bright,
think not of sadness,
that I'm not near,
think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,
I have not left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my little one,
so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
and you watch it dance
in your heart you'll know
that I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue
I'm sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you

Wings Of God
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I felt the soft feather touch
As I lay sleeping in my bed
Softly brush across my face
And linger on my head.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I thought I might be dreaming
An Angel in my view
More beautiful than words can say
I thought, what should I do?
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I laid there in deep silence
My eyes so big and wide
The smile was oh so glorious
As she sat down by my side.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I did not come to hurt you
I came from up above
To watch you and protect you
And cover you with love.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
She wrapped her wings around me
A vigilance she would keep
She held me in her sweet embrace
Until I fell asleep.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I know I wasn't dreaming
It is clear to me you see
The Angel in my vision
Was God watching over me.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆

An Angel Smiled

❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤
Today while I was lonely
and felt myself near tears
I thought I heard a gentle voice
whisper in my ears
❤
The words were ones of comfort
but what, I do not know
❤
They left me feeling better
and my spirits higher though
❤
So as I walked along
on this suddenly bright day
I knew my heart had lightened
'cause an Angel smiled today

We sit beneath the night sky
By the whisper of the windsong...
In the quiet of darkness.
And they are never far.
Those we have loved and cherished,
Those who have changed our lives
In some small or profound way
Are closer than we know,
Because it is their light
That shines on our world.
It is the brilliance
Of their souls
That makes our night sky glow
★
A star in heaven shines on just for you.
