GUARDIAN ANGEL
Can you hear me?
Can you hear my cries?
Now that you're gone,
From all our lives.
We can't see you,
But I can feel you're near,
I can hear your voice,
A whisper in my ear.
I know you're inside me,
In my heart and my soul,
But I keep on crying,
It,s beyond my control.
Promise me you'll stay,
Close by my side,
Promise me you won't go,
And through life me my guide.
Watch me and protect me,
Help me good times and bad,
Share in my joy,
Or comfort me when I,m sad.
Keep me from harm,
Stay with me forever,
Love and care for me,
And leave my side NEVER.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS DAD

To those I love,
You hold on to me so tightly in your Hearts - where I shall always be.
Your concern has always been for me, but I wonder how you are doing.
You will never know all the prayers that have been prayed for you. the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in multitude of ways, but I find it so comforting to know you havent been left alone.
Please know that I am not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. Never let anyone tell you God doesnt exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel your emotions. Talk to Him and let Him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that I am doing just fine.
It's comforting to know that you hold me so close while struggling with the prospect of letting me go. You need to know, that we will always be together.
Eternity is not " out there" eternity is now! I have simply moved a little farther
ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love.
The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that I am safe in God's Perfect Love. I would like you to take some of the love you have for me and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have....and let others love you.... you are worth loving!
Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes and you will even find yourselves ot thinking about "me" from time to time. That's all right too....... All my needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your wolrd of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuble lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have the strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of me, never think of me as being alone.
Think of me as smiling laughing and enjoying all that God has prepared for me.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but
look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love and care about you. Live with them - love with them - share with them - laugh with them ...
Make everyday a celebration of life - a life that will never end.
We will meet again - and until we do - know that I am so very proud of you
for not giving up!!!!
DID YOU HERE ME WHISPER?
Did you here me whisper
When God took me by the hand
For I will always love you
I hope you'll understand
No one knew I was leaving
Only God and me
For I couldent stand the pain
Andthe tearsyou cry for me
I want to see you happy
Not looking so sad
One day we'll be together
And have back what we once had
LOVE YOU ALWAYS SWEETDREAMS NORM xxxxxxxx

With a burdened heart and a troubled mind,
I kneel by the side of his grave,
And I cry for my Dad, I love so much,
For no longer can I be brave.
I know he,d hate to see me cry,
But, everythings gone wrong,
And I need to tell him I love him,
I haven,t tolf him for so long.
He used to dry my tears away,
And put a smile in their place,
Oh God, I,d be so happy,
If I could only see he face.
You see, I miss him terribly,
We were close, him and I,
He taught me so many things, Lord,
He took the time to answer why.
Why did he have to leave me?,
I feel so all alone,
I long to hear his voice again,
To call him on the phone.
Oh Lord, please give me strength,
To bear this awful pain,
Tell him that I love him, Lord,
Slow these tears that fall like rain.
Assure me that we'll meet again,
Upon the Golden Shore,
And once more he'll be my Father,
In Heaven, Forever more.
Love You Dad
Never Forget You

A Parable Describing Death As A Transition to A Better Afterlife
-The Story of the Dragonfly-
Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in a while one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about with its friends. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily, it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.
"Look!" said one of the water bugs to another. "One of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you suppose she is going?" Up, up, up it went slowly. Even as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. Its friends waited and waited but it didn't return. "That's funny!" said one water bug to another. "Wasn't she happy here?" asked a second water bug. "Where do you suppose she went?" wondered a third. No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled.
Finally one of the water bugs, a leader in the colony, gathered its friends together. "I have an idea. The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why." "We promise," they said solemnly.
One spring day, not long after, the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up he went. Before he knew what was happening, he had broken through the surface of the water, and fallen onto the broad, green lily pad above.
When he awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come to his old body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings. The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from the new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself up above the water. He had become a dragonfly.
Swooping and dipping in great curves, he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by, the new dragonfly lighted happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs! There they were, scurrying about, just as he had been doing some time before. Then the dragonfly remembered the promise: "The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk will come back and tell where he or she went and why."
Without thinking, the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water. "I can't return!" he said in dismay. "At least I tried, but I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs would know me in my new body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too. Then they'll understand what happened to me, and where I went." And the dragonfly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air.

Letter From Heaven
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'm 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.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
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.
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.
FOR SUNDAY
Reply to "Letter from Heaven"
My Dearest Loved one:
I received your Letter from Heaven,
It made the teardrops fall.
But knowing you’re with God above,
Sweet memories, I will recall.
I know that you are with me,
For I feel your presence near.
And if I listen closely,
Your voice I then can hear.
I know you’re watching o’er me,
As you promised you would do.
And when I feel so saddened,
It’s your letter that sees me through.
When I lay in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
I truly feel your presence,
Like a warm and glowing light.
The rocky roads you mentioned,
And the hills that I must climb;
I’ve done exactly what you said,
By taking one day at a time.
I’ve tried to help others,
Who are in sorrow and in pain.
And now I am contented,
My day was not in vain.
I’ll lend a hand, as you have said
When someone is feeling low.
I’ll pray for them and be here,
‘Till on their way they go.
And when it’s time for me to go,
To join you in heaven high.
My wings I shall spread wide,
To my home up in the sky.

DEAR DAD
I know you're thinking we shouldn't cry, I am sorry...I can't stop.
I guess I never thought this would happen.
I cry for all the years longer Mum should have had you by her side.
I cry for the sunrises you will never see. The birthdays and holidays we will have to spend without you.
Sometimes...I just cry.
You were so strong and full of life, how could such a good heart so filled with love stop?
I know I need to be strong, I know that things will get better in time, but for right now I will cry, the pain is stronger than me.
There are so many things I wish I had said. So much more time I wish we could spend.
So Dad, I just want to tell you, I am sorry because I am crying right now.
I miss you and I love you and I always will.
I never got to say to you how proud I am that you are my dad, but I think you know.
I can't beleive this day has come, you can see all the things that we will not have you here for in life, and I have to believe that you will be there in spirit. I know you will be with me always, in my heart.
That and the memories are what I have left to hold on to.
I will miss you always and love you forever.
Your loving Daughter
Michelle

At the ending of the day when I'm weary
after a waterfall of tears have all been cried-
and I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary-
nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.
I lay my head upon my favorite pillow
just close my eyes to block all the sorrow-
wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside-
to do it all again- tomorrow.
And then I feel it-
inside me. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings.
The sun comes up, it's time to face the day
and I think that things are going to be all right-
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray-
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.
And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall
As I look at my reflection in the glass-
the eyes looking back at me make me feel small-
and I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?
And then I feel it-
inside me. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings. (Thank God for your angel wings)
