Memories

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And the days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are 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.

God Bless x

SAND AND STONE
********************************
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT

DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE

THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND

'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE'

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE! AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.


AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:

'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE'

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'

THE FRIEND REPLIED
'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.


BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT'

LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.


THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON,
AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM,
A DAY TO LOVE THEM,
BUT THEN
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.


SEND THIS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET.


I JUST DID.


TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!

DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE!

AND IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK,
THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. X

A Face In The Clouds
I looked toward the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
and wondered just where you have gone
and a hope it's a better place.

Did you show yourself to me today
to tell me you're alright?
Or was it just a daydream
playing tricks upon my sight?

Then I thought of when you left,
you did not say a word.
We never said good-bye, but
in our hearts, your good-bye was heard.

You have changed our lives forever,
your time here not in vain,
and hope you know we always wanted
to keep you safe from pain.

We will always feel the void inside
because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
let's us know you're always near.

So until our journey nears it's end
and we hear the angels sing,
we'll face each new day as it comes
and live off the love you bring.

This day should be a day of love,
of prezzies and good wishes.
With hugs galore, theres smiles all round,
through gentle 'Mothers kisses'

Filled with love & appreciation,
- a day thats like no other.
but whats the point of Mothers Day
if you have got no Mother??

No bouqets & no chocolates
no luxuries for her skin.
No way to text her sweet words,
or cards to put your feelings in.

No one to go to Church with,
to get our daffodils off the priest
No one to sit and chat with
or eat my Sunday feast.

Nowhere to go, no one to take
for a little drink, (or three!)
Who'll worry what Im up to....
& offer to mind my kids for me?

Instead of this, theres cemetaries,
memories and prayers...
an Angel in Heaven wanting me
to know how much she cares.

She's at peace with her loved ones
where theres no more stress or fear,
- so i guess i know one lucky mum
who got her Mothers Day wish this year.

Lit A Candle
I lit a candle for you today
May it's light reflect my love your way
So great are you upon my mind
I had to stop and give you my time.

I thought of the memories we shared together
Enjoying the company of one another
I'm so glad for the time we had
Now without you, I am so sad.

My talks to you, now only goes one way
I'm sure you hear me up Heaven's way
I'd give anything to have you talk back to me
Of what a comfort that would be.

I lit a candle for you today
May it's light reflect my love your way
Now I must go until next time
I will forever keep you, gently on my mind.


~~~~Love Always Elaine~~~~

We Do Not Need A Special Day
We do not need a special day
to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake,
we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
as we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
no one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
but always a precious memory
of the days when you were here.

If tears could build a staircase,
and heartaches make a lane,
we'd walk the path to Heaven
and bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts
and there you will remain,
to walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.


~~All our love MAM~~

You were a precious gift from God above,
so much beauty, grace and love.
You touched our hearts in so many ways,
your smile so bright even on the bad days.
You heard God's whisper calling you home,
you didn't want to go and leave us alone.
You loved us so much, you held on tight,
till all the stregnth was gone and you could no longer fight.
He had called your name twice before,
you knew you couldn't make him wait anymore.
So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,
knowing that with our love we will be together again some day.

We know a smile we'd love to see
A hand we'd love to touch
We know a voice we'd love to hear
A face we love so much
We have never asked for miracles
But today, just one would do
To see the front door open
And our ANGEL come walking through

She is Gone


You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
