 FROM YOUR ANGEL IN HEAVEN

 
 
I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.
 
No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.
 
I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.
 
When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.
 
Talk to me, just like you did
 On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.
 
And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.
 
For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.

This is for the Other Half of My Heart.  Another holiday, another day of missing you.  I may not see you in the physical sense, but I know you will be with me in the spiritual sense.  A Happy and Blessed Easter, my love and also give these wishes to our Lord and Saviour.  This day is in celebration of his love and the sacrifice he made for each of us.

 

~God's Garden~

 

God looked around his garden

and He found an empty place.

He then looked down upon this earth,

and saw your tired face.

 

He put his arms around you

and lifted you to rest.

God's garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best.

 

He knew that you were suffering,

He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never

get well on earth again.

 

He saw that the road was getting rough,

and the hills are hard to climb.

So, He closed your weary eyelids,

and whispered "Peace be thine."

 

It broke our hearts to lose you,

but you didn't go alone.

For part of us went with you

the day God called you home.

Hello, I'm looking for friends. I'm very outgoing I love to talk and help anyone that needs help. I lost my husband and best friend almost 4 years ago due to cancer. He was a very special person. I have one son and one grandaughter. I'm very close to all my family. I still have alot of relatives and close friends in kentucky I visit often. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Thank you for reading my profile.

For the Other Half of My Heart

 

In tears I saw you sinking

I watched you fade away;

My heart was fully broken

You fought so hard to stay.

 

But when I saw you sleeping,

So peaceful, free from pain;

I could not wish you back

To suffer that again.

 

A million times I needed you,

One million times I cried;

If love could have saved you

You never would have died.

 

If I could only have one wish,

One dream that would come true;

I'd pray to God with all my heart

For yesterday and you.

The Other Half of My Heart

 

I remember everything about you,

your voice, your smile, your touch,

the way you walked, the way you talked,

the way you looked at me, meant so much.

 

I remember all the words you said to me;

some funny, some kind, some wise,

all of the things you did for me,

I see now with different eyes.

 

I remember every moment we shared,

seems like only yesterday,

or maybe it was eons ago,

it's really hard to say.

 

You are gone from me now,

but one thing they can't take away,

your memory resides inside my heart,

and lights up my darkest days...

God came and set your spirit free,

Yet I sense your presence with me.

I hear your voice on a gentle breeze

Your laughter echoing through the trees.

 

Wherever I go I feel you near;

The essence of you is crystal clear;

Is this a blessing infinitely kind?

Helping to soothe my troubled mind.

 

Now you have left this mortal plane,

I have no doubts I will see you again,

For often in dreams you whisper to me,

The promise of love through eternity.

Life is but a stopping place

A pause in what's to be

A resting place along the road

To sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,

Different paths along the way,

We all were meant to learn some things,

But never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place

Far greater than we know.

For some, the journey's quicker

For some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends,

We'll claim a great reward

And find an everlasting peace,

Together with the Lord.

The Four Blessed Looks:

 

     1.   Look back and thank God.

 

     2.   Look forward and trust God.

 

     3.   Look around and serve God.

 

     4.   Look within and find God!

 

I asked God,  "How do I get the best out of life?"

 

God said, "Face your past without regrets, handle your present with confidence, and prepare for the future without fear!"

 

Without God, our week could be:

     Mournday

     Tearsday

     Wasteday

     Thirstday

     Fightday

     Shatterday

     Sinday

 

With God, our week is:

     Funday

     Cheersday

     Winnersday

     Trustday

     Flyday

     Sweeterdays

     Sunshinedays

 

Life is short, so forgive quickly, believe slowly, love truly and laugh uncontrollably.  Never regret anything that makes you happy.  It is said that time is like a river.  You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.  Enjoy every moment of life.  Have a blessed day today.

   I often sit where roses bloom

And the sunbeams dance on my face;

    Here, sensing your presence

    In this, our own special place.

 

On days when I'm feeling lonely

   Relaxing, I dream of the past

Midst the fragance of wild roses,

Where memories forever will last.

 

    Time can't erase the beauty

Of a love that was deep and true;

    In this garden I find my solace

Recalling sweet moments with you.

 

Darkness falls, rose petals close,

    I wipe a tear from my face,

    But treasure each day I spend

    Here in our own special place.
