A Message From Heaven - Unknown Author

Perhaps you aren’t ready yet,
To have to say Goodbye.
Perhaps you’ve thought of things
You wish you’d said, Well so have I.

For one thing, I’d have told you
Not to worry about me.
I’m with the Lord in heaven now,
You knew that’s where I’d be.

I’m sorry that you’re feeling sad
For I am happy now.
I’ve asked the Lord to ease the hurt
And comfort you somehow.

It’s hard at the beginning
But I know you’ll make it through.
I hope it helps to know
That I’ll be waiting here for you.

With Love From Your Angel XX

We Miss you

Your life in eternity has just begun.
Now you can walk, your legs are brand
new.
All of heaven is now in your view.

Look all around,it's all in your sight,
There will never be another dark night.
Flowers and jewels, the street of pure gold,and all of the things that have been told.

I can just imagine the smile on your face as you walk all around in that beautiful place.
Greeting our loved ones as you walk along,while singing heaven's most beautiful song.

This is so very hard,but it will all be okay,it isn't goodbye,we'll see you one day.
We love you and we'll miss you and at times it will be tough,but as with everything,God's grace will be enough

We Miss You So Much

My shining star burns bright in the dark sky,And anywhere I go it's sure to catch everyone's eye.With a smile that could light up a thousand nights,And the courage to fly to undiscovered heights.♥*•.To help and protect me in everything I do,You're the one to help me make it through.With open ears and a heart that stays true,You know what to say when I'm feeling blue.♥*•.The way you read my mind and always see,Just how I wanted everything to be.You looked past the outside, viewing the real me,And took out of my life all the uncertainty.♥*•.The uncertainty I had of years to come,you showed me who I could get help from.You would be my guide and let me lean on you some,And show me that sometimes you just need to have fun.♥*•.You know exactly when to let down your guard,And to only keep fighting when things start to look hard.I want you to stay in my life and never go farFor you are my one, and only, shining star
