CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

We're wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like
As we grieve alone and pray,
longing for one who has gone before
To spend Christmas in Heaven today..

And so in our dreams we wander far
From the scenes and sounds of earth
‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir
As they sing of the Christ Child's birth. .

The Angels we envision there
As they join in the festive play
And there amid the throng is our Loved One
Spending Christmas in Heaven today..

There's joy in the faith that teaches
When our life's work is done
Of a place in Heaven awaiting
And the crown we worked for is won..

In our grief may we learn well the lesson
So to work and suffer and pray
As to merit the joys of our loved one
And to spend Christmas together some day.

✿ Comfort ✿

Ah! if we only dreamed how close they stand
…Who were our flesh and blood once, and are still
A part of us in sympathy and will,
…We should not grieve so, thinking death had banned
All sweet communion with life’s spirit-land,
…But fancy in each faint delicious thrill
That stirs us when Heaven’s cisterns overfill,
…Droppings of comfort some near love had planned.
Death brings them nearer to us: human sense,
…Earth-dulled, is all the barrier that hides
The adjacent country where each one abides;
…And we shall wonder, when we too pass hence,
Our hearts were thwarted by so frail a fence,
…And could not break the weak wall that divides.

~ May Doney ~

Angel Love
♥ڿڰۣಌ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ
Was we not meant to love you
Was we not meant to care
Of you our beautiful angel
Now living in Gods care
♥ڿڰۣಌ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ
You have now left to a life that is so free
You live in a garden so beautiful
With so many flowers and trees
♥ڿڰۣಌ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ
You was our ray of sunshine
One of Gods very best
But then God decided once again
That you needed a rest
♥ڿڰۣಌ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ
Sometime we think we can still hear your voice
As we wish you was still here with us
But we no you had no choice
♥ڿڰۣಌ♥ڿڰۣಌ ♥ڿڰۣಌ
But please always remember that we love you
And that our love for you our special Angel
Is very honest and true

*ღ..........*ღ*..........*ღ**ღ..........*ღ*.......... ღ**ღ..........*ღ*.......... ღ*

I watched a seagull spread its wings and rise into the blue.
Out towards the far horizon straight and strong it flew.
დ
But slowly it became a speck - and disappeared from sight,
vanishing behind a hazy veil of golden light.
დ
Lost to view – but still it flew, though not observed by me.
So it is when souls go out into eternity.
დ
They pass beyond the range of vision and we say they’ve gone,
but, like the bird that fades into the distance, they go on.
დ
On into a greater life, the journey to complete –
across the dim dividing line where earth and heaven meet.

დ For Those Who Weep დ

I have a pearl
to give to you who weep
whose beauty is born
from simple life
and fashioned out of pain.
it fills a mandala
with space to breathe
and gently gathers light.
It is not struck from rock
or circled like a diamond noose
to bind you by
but free and perfect
grew unknown
where nature turns invading pain
to beauty and delight.
დ
So hold it fast
and catch the spread of sunrise
in the single point of light.

Today Is My Birthday

Today is my birthday
Celebrate my life with you
And remember the good times
Forget the bad.
Look up towards the sun
And catch every ray of light
Upon your cheek.
For I am there with you.

Today is my birthday,
Be happy for me.
My life was full.
I had the pleasure of love
And the joy of my family.
Do not be sad
Look up towards the stars
And catch each twinkle
In your heart.
For I am there with you

Today is my birthday
My legacy is not wealth
Or mighty belongings,
My legacy is you and your life.
Spend it wisely and carefully,
Guard it always.
Do not be sad.
Feel the wind on your face
And in your hair
And know that I loved you
For I am there with you in your laughter
And in your hearts.

Today is my birthday,
Learn to live again without me.
Take my strength with you
For you are not alone.
Do not be sad
Feel the rain on your face
Feel all life's treasures and
Know that you are alive!
At each step of the way
I will help you
For I am with you always
Until we meet again.
Today is my birthday...

-::- The Other World -::-

It lies around us like a cloud,
A world we do not see;
Yet the same closing of an eye
May bring us there to be.
✶
Its gentle breezes fan our cheek;
Amid our worldly cares,
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers.
✶
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With breathings almost heard.
✶
The silence, awful, sweet, and calm,
They have no power to break;
For mortal words are not for them
To utter or partake.
✶
So thin, so soft, so sweet, they glide,
So near to press they seem,
They lull us gently to our rest,
They melt into our dream.
✶
And in the hush of rest they bring
’T is easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet a pass
The hour of death may be;—
✶
To close the eye, and close the ear,
Wrapped in a trance of bliss,
And, gently drawn in loving arms,
To swoon to that from this:—
✶
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
✶
Sweet souls around us! watch us still;
Press nearer to our side;
Into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helpings glide.
✶
Let death between us be as naught,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy be the reality,
Our suffering like the dream.

Say not, they die, those splendid souls,
Whose life is winged with purpose fine;
Who leave us, pointed to the goals;
Who learn to conquer and resign.
✰...✰
Such cannot die; they vanquish time,
And fill the world with glowing light,
Making the human life sublime
With memories of their secret might.
✰...✰
They cannot die whose lives are part
Of the great life that is to be;
Whose hearts beat with the world’s great heart,
And throb with its high intensity.
✰...✰
Those souls are great, who, dying, gave
A gift of greater life to man;
Death stands abashed before the brave;
They own a life death cannot ban.

The Reddened Rose

The beauty of the single rose
That lay below the brambled stem
It gently dies at sweet day’s end
No more to feel ~ life’s warmth within

~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~

My heart is like the reddened rose
Whose life has bled upon the ground
Fading with each passing breath
A heart that beats ~ without a sound

A silent silence ~ no one can hear
As deep within the pain grows strong
While thorns do prick the heart’s veneer
Sorrow sings ~ its lasting song

The bleeding heart that beats in me
With silent grief ~ of roses past
That lived in gardens of my life
Oh, they have breathed their earthly last

Withered petals’ sweet repose
Now undisturbed ~ they rest alone
As memory caries on the wind
Their beauty rests beneath the stone

I walk upon this hallowed ground
Where the lonesome wildwood grows
My heart will ever linger here
To bleed upon the reddened rose…..

Leaf after leaf drops off,
flower after flower,
Some in the chill,
some in the warmer hour:
Alike they flourish,
and alike they fall,
And the Earth who nourished them
receives them all.
Should we, her wiser sons,
be less content
To sink into her lap
when life is spent?

Walter Savage Landor
