When the sun comes out, that’s me telling you, “Good morning”.
When the wind blows, that’s me trying to get your attention.
When the rain pours, that’s me telling you “I miss you”.
When a thunderstorm happens, that’s me telling you, “That wasn’t a good idea.”
When twilight comes, that’s me telling you, “Good night”.
When the snow falls, that’s me telling you, “Everything is okay up here”.
I may not be there with you, but I’ll watch over you.
I may not be there to talk to you, but I’ll watch over you.

Listen to me.
Look for my signs.
For I am your guardian angel, I will watch over you with great care and love.

Though your loving voice is silent now,
And Death's cold hand has touched your brow,
We know your spirit has but flown
To kneel in love at Jesus' throne;
And, there, surrounded by a throng
Of friends and family, you join the song
Of joy that you have been set free,
From pain and illness---liberty!
And though we'll miss you every day
And all your kind and loving ways,
We would not call you back from there
Where such great happiness you share;
And so we'll trust God's promise sweet
That someday in heaven again we'll meet.

There is a place called heaven,
In the beautiful skies.
When a person is in need,
The angels arise.
God's precious jewels,
Are the angels from above.
They are God's creatures,
Full of love for you and me.

Graceful, free,
they move in silent knowing,
gently nudging, not intruding,
they guide us down the path.
Listen closely, softly speaking,
they know where we need to be,
and when...
and even why.

An Angel watches over you,
At night she stands by your bed.
She tucks the covers under your chin
And kisses your sleeping head.
Sleep well, my darling child.
And dream your gentle dreams,
For your Guardian Angel bears
Your hopes to God on her wings!

FOR FRIDAY
COMFORT
Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home
The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain
But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace
Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.

FOR SATURDAY
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But know 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
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
FAREWELL
The sand of time are running low
And soon my children I must go
My heart with love for you is filled
But soon its beating must be stilled
I leave no treasures of any kind
Only my love I leave behind
Take it and share it between sister and brother
And always be kind to one another
Weep not beside the grave for me
Don't bring me flowers I cannot see
Only ashes lie neath the cold sod
Just pray that my soul has gone with God
Some of you perhaps may weep
When my eyes are closed in eternal sleep
But try to remember it won't be forever
For God can bring our spirits together
I pray that I go to a world far above
To be with the others that I love
And to wait awhile on that Heavenly plain
Until the day we shall meet again.

Gone Are the Days
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there;
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows;
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*
"Let it not be said my life was in vain;
I've just moved on to a higher plane,
So I can keep better watch over you,
As you move on the way you need to do.
Though my short life has reached an end,
I'm waiting for you around the bend.
I beg you-- please don't weep for me!
It's not so bad, for soon you'll see
That I will linger long past this sunset
In the hearts of you who love me yet."

Missing You
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆
No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How I miss you, nobody knows!
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
I've never stopped loving you--
I'm sure I never will;
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say,
But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so,
And I always will.

Those we love must someday pass
Beyond our present sight;
They must leave us and the world we know
Without their radiant light.
But we know that, like a candle,
Their lovely light will shine
To brighten up another place,
More perfect, more divine;
And in the realm of heaven
Where they shine so warm and bright,
Our loved ones live forever more
In God's eternal light.

Let Memories Surround You
*♥* Feel no guilt in laughter,
For they know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile
That they're not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever--
They would not want you to.
They'd hope that you would carry on
The way you always do.
So talk about the good times
And the ways you showed you cared,
The days you spent together,
All the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you;
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture
A time, an hour, a day,
That brings them back as clearly
As though they were still here,
And fills you with the feelings
That they are always near.
For if you keep those moments,
You will never be apart,
And they will live forever....
Locked safe within your heart *♥*
