Angel on your doorstep

I left an angel on your doorstep.
His winsome smile to see you by.
So look beyond your golden tear drops
he'll clear your sorrow when you cry.

Life's day to day crushing pressure,
took a toll on what we had.
Divided time and what we measured,
left us empty and feeling sad.

I'm not with you on this earthly plane
as you've known me here before.
But I still lie deep within your heart,
perhaps a little more.

So find that angel on your doorstep.
His winsome smile will see you by.
He'll take you past your tears and sorrow,
til we're together side by side.

I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now. He set me free!


A Letter To My Family

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,
Where I dwell with God above.
Where there are no tears or sadness,
There 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 so badly,
as part of MY big plan
there’s so much that We have to do,
to help our mortal man.”
 
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do,
And foremost on that list of mine
Is to watch and care for you.

I will be beside you,
Every day of the week and year.
And when you’re sad, I’m standing there
To wipe away the tear.

 And when you lie in bed at night,
The days chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you
In the middle of the night.
 
When you think o f my  life on Earth,
And all those loving years,
Because you’re only human,
There’s bound to be some tears.

Do not be afraid to cry,
It does relieve some pain.
Remember, there would be no flowers,
Without a little rain.
 
I wish that I could tell you,
Of all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you,
You would not understand.

One thing is for certain,
Though my life on Earth is over,
I am closer to you now,
Than I ever was before

And to my many friends,
Trust God knows what is best.
I am not far away from you,
I’m just beyond the crest.
 
There are rocky roads ahead for you,
And many hills that you must climb.
Together we can do it,
Taking it one day at a time.

It was my philosophy,
And I’d like for you too,
That is, give unto the World,
So the World will give to you.

If you can help someone
Who’s in sorrow or in pain,
Then you can say to God at night,
My day was not in vain.

And now I am contented
That my life, it was worthwhile.
Knowing, as I passed along the way,
I made somebody smile.
 
When you’re walking down the street,
And you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps,
Only half a step behind.

And when you feel a gentle breeze
Of wind upon your face,
That’s me giving you a great big hug,
Or just a soft embrace.
 
When it’s time for you to go
Remember you are not going,
You are coming home to me.
I will always love you, From that place way up above.

I will be in touch again soon,
P.S. God sends his Love.

Don’t think of her as gone away
Her journey’s just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting
From the sorrow and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort,
Where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.

And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she was loved so much.

In Our Hearts

We thought of you with love today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.

We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
