I have not turned my back on you
so theres no need to cry
im watching you from heaven
just beyond the morning sky
ive seen you almost fall apart
when you could barely stand
I ask the lord to comfort you
and watch him take your hand
he told me you are in more pain
than i could ever be
he wiped his eyes and swallowed hard
then gave your hand to me
although you may not feel my touch
or see me by your side
Ive whispered that i love you
while i wiped each tear you cried
so please try not to ache for me
well meet again one day
beyond the dark and stormy sky
a rainbow lights the way

We still recall when we were small
A loving father through it all.
We close our eyes and we can see
The way our childhood used to be.

A father's jobs are never done,
And Heaven must have needed one.
For angels came and took his hand
And led him to God's promised land.

A loving father lends a hand
And always tries to understand.
He watches over siblings small
While pushing swings and playing ball.

We know someday we'll meet again,
We'll hear him laugh and see his grin.
We'll close our eyes and then we'll see --
Our father waiting there with glee.

Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who hears this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com

Nothing is ever truly gone
like a puddle of water after the rain
It evaporates back into the clouds
and sometime later returns again.
Like the memory you'll forever hold
of your loved one that pasted on.
They are a part of your thoughts and heart
therefore they'll forever live on.
Yet as for now they are resting
for now they are at peace.
Say so long, never goodbye,
until once again in heaven you'll meet.

A hug can really say a thousand things
Never underestimate the hope it brings.
While a hug is free and is no big deal
Word free hugs say, I know how you feel.
A GTS hug can say even more and more
I know, I too have been there before.
A GTS hug says you will learn to cope
This from me, proves that there is hope .
With a hug, you learn to carry on
Although your beloved child has gone.
A GTS hug, will show that you deeply care
There are others who feel the same out there.

found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin i found

pennies come from heaven
that's what my dad told me
he said angels toss them down
oh, how i loved this story

he said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown

So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your loved one tossed to you

love and thought to you always

An angels kiss
We go through life so often
not stopping to enjoy the day
and we take each other for granted
as we travel on our way,
we never stop to measure
anything we just might miss
but if the wind should blow by softly
you'll feel ~~ An angel kiss
A kiss that is sent from heaven
a kiss from up above
a kiss that is very special
from someone that you love,
for in your pain and sorrow
an angel kiss will help you through
the kiss is very private
and it's meant for only you,
so when your hearts are heavy
and filled with tears and pain
and no one can console you
remember once again
about the ones you grieve for
because you sadly miss
and the gentle breeze
you took for granted
was just ~~ An angels kiss

When tomorrow starts without me.
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise,
And find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave,
All those I dearly love.

And as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I thought for all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
If only for a while,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you,
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

But as I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
When God looked down and smiled on me,
From his great golden throne.

He said this is eternity,
And all I've promised you.
Today your life on earth is through,
And here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But that this day will always last,
As each way is the same way,
There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.

But now you are forgiven,
And know at last you’re free,
So won't you come and take my hand,
And share my life with me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.......
