Quietly I Weep
By Lyndie Sorenson

Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence
Quietly I weep

I long to see your smile
Hear your laughter, hug you tight
But you're no longer with me
You've headed toward the light

I'm sure you are quite happy
Here on earth I miss you so
Asking that same question
Why was it you that had to go?

I am sure there is an answer...
One that might make sense
When others offer reasons
I'm just on the defence

If they could understand me
Know how hard life is with grief
Just hold my hand and listen...
That would be a great relief

Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence...
Quietly I weep

..Shooting Star..
*****************

I dont see many shooting stars
But on the nights i do
I always make one special wish
And hope my wish comes true

*****************

It often makes me wonder
If wishes do come true
Because ever since i made my wish
Ive been waiting here for you

*****************

For i will go on wishing
Upon every shooting star
And i will always love you
No matter near or far

♥ Only we who grieve ♥

♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.

♥ I Believe ♥
(Written By Skip Ewing and Donny Keyes Copyright 2002)
(Song performed by Diamond Rio)

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe

That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe

Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.

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 Sea and the Beach ☼
(Tessa Wilkinson)

The sea seems to illustrate pain and sorrow so well
It comes in and goes out
For a while it is there, overwhelming, covering everything
Then slowly the tide turns and it withdraws
For a while we can see the beauty of the shells, the seaweed
We can rejoice in the patterns in the sand
We can feel the corrugated ripples under our feet
Alive to what is around, and beyond
But then the tide turns and again it is all washed away, all overwhelmed
We feel like the crashing of the waves on rocks
Raw and out of control
Full of anger and rage
Battered and bruised
Tossed about like flotsam floating wherever we are thrown
There are so many questions. Why now? Why him?
But no answers
Then the sea calms and gently the waves lap the rocks
We are soothed and the inner turmoil is calmed
In time we can learn to move up the beach as the tide comes in
Out of its reach
Not to be overwhelmed
The pain is still there, but in control
We can recognise the pain
Revisiting the sadness
Acknowledging how much the person is missed
We learn to turn away and look to the future
Knowing the person will always be part of us
Always loved and always remembered

~~ The Angels ~~

May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring

May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall

May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed

May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold

May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter


~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~


~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~

I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun

I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met

Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power

Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools

And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you

When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there

~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~


~~ Guardian Angels ~~

When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on

Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side

~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~

Lots Of Love Always ~~ Elaine...x♥x

When the pain and grief are over
When it's my time to be by your side
I know you'll be waiting for me
And will greet me with arms open wide

Until then I'll go on living
Though the light in my life has gone
The road will be long and lonely
But I'll bear up and try to be strong

I pray that angels will guide me
Help me to get through this pain
Give me the strength to go on
Till we are together again
