To Everthing There is a Season To every thing there is a season, and a time A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to to every purpose under the heaven: embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

herished Memories
Remember Me Remember me with smiles not tears, for all the joy, through all the years Recall a closeness that was ours, a love as sweet as fragrant flowers Don’t dwell on thoughts that cause you pain, We’ll see each other once again. I am at peace……. try to believe It was my time…I had to leave. But “what a view” I have from here, I see your face, I feel you near. I follow you throughout the day, You’re not alone along the way.

From the very day that you were born You know you had my heart You blessed my life with so much joy Right from the very start.
That lovely grin would light the room, Even when times were bad, That little laugh would lift me up, Whenever I was sad. So you see, there could be no goodbyes for us It be too painful, dear Our connection still lives on Although you’re far from here I’ll look for you among the stars And within each dawn’s pastel sky And whisper words of love to you but never say goodbye
From Your Loving Mother
And when God calls you…you will be, Right by my side…right here with me. Till then, I’ll wait by Heavens door, We’ll be united…. evermore!
To My Sister I’m blessed to call you sister, I also call you friend; You’ve loved me unconditionally, And stood through thick and thin. You’ve shared my joys and sorrows, My laughter and my tears. You’ve been my inspiration, As we grew up through the years. When we were little children We laughed and played together; Then growing up you stood by me, Through good and stormy weather. There’s something God has given us, That’s more than family; He’s placed a love for you, my Sister, Deep down in the heart of me.
There is A Special Angel
There’s a special Angel in Heaven that is a part of me. It is not where I wanted her, but where God wanted her to be. She was here but just a moment like a night time shooting star. And though she is in Heaven she isn’t very far. She touched the heart of many like only an Angel can do. I would’ve held her every minute if the end I only knew. So I send this special message to the Heaven up above. Please take care of my Angel and send her all my love.
