My Son...

*ღ*~~~~~~ A Son ~~~~~~~*ღ*

A Son to his mother is more precious
Than a mountain of diamonds or gold
From the first moment he is born
And he's put in her arms to hold

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


Her precious boy she will love forever
Even though they may have had to part
She can no longer hold him in her arms
But he'll always be there in her heart

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


The connection between the two of them
Is something that will last forever
One day mother and son will meet again
To spend eternity together.

From Me


If you see a sunset, it's me, smiling
From behind it.
If I go away far, and you see a star
If you find it,
I'm inside it.
You can fold it, and hold it forever,
If you hide it.
If our words and worlds sever -- if ever
I lose you;
If two thousand light-years or seven
Confuse you;
Remember me. Here and in Heaven
I'll see you.
I'll be beguiling my filing, still smiling
To see you.
When mountains, magenta and molded
Turn red,
Like you said,
You'll find the feeling you folded
Not dead.
You'll steal the swirling sky, turning
With me.
You won't be bounded, but burning
And free.

When I Get To Heaven
by Emily McAdams
At last I reach my final home
The gates swing open wide
I get a glimpse of glory
I can't wait to get inside.

An angel beckons to me
I hurry up to him
He opens up a golden book
And lets me look within.

I see my name is written
On the page that he turns to
He says you finally made it
I've been waiting here for you.

He points in one direction
And tells me "go that way"
So I start my tour of heaven
The place I get to stay.

I see the many mansions
And walk the streets of gold
And hear the angels praising God
Just like I had been told.

And then I spot my loved ones
They've been here many years
We hug and kiss each other
All smiles, there are no tears.

I look around for Jesus
I know He'll soon appear
I want to kneel and praise Him
He's the reason I am here.




He took upon Himself my sins
He paid the price for me
And by His victory over death
He finally set me free.

Free from all my worldly sins
And the evil Satan sent
Jesus came into my heart
Because I did repent.

I'll finally get to thank Him
When I bow before His throne
For all the times He carried me
When I couldn't walk alone.

I'll dwell with Him in heaven
With no sorrow, tears or pain
This was His promise to me
When to this earth He came.

There are many mansions up here
There's room for all of you
So to join us all in heaven
I'll tell you what to do.

Accept Jesus as your Savior
He will wash your sins away
He's waiting here to greet you
When you join us here one day.


ALL MY LOVE SWEET ANGEL. SHINE BRIGHT DOWN ON YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE MISS YOU DOWN HERE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT, LOVE ALWAYS GLORIA XOXO

A Thousand Tears
by Marissa Elizabeth Martin

I've cried a thousand tears for you,
Felt a thousand pains.
Screamed a thousand words for you,
Died a thousand days.

Now I'm empty and black like a hole.
Nothing's in use, I have nothing to control.
Where my heart once was, is where the hole stays.
With the pieces left in it,
you dropped them in the maze.

Except for a single piece,
The only piece I ever knew.
The piece I can't let go of,
The small piece of you.

I hold it tight but it's fading, and wearing away fast.
I have to keep a tight hold of it, I need you to last.
But I know eventually this piece of you,
Will fall from me for days.
Then the piece I held onto so tight,
Will too be lost in the maze.

ALL MY LOVE XOXO

A Face In The Clouds:
I looked towards the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
And wondered just were you have gone
with 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
No hugs and kisses..
no good-bye was heard

You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
and hope you know we always tried
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

*****************************************************************

☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ If I could give you but one thing,
On this very special day;
It would be all that you've wished for,
All those dreams you've tucked away.
If all your wishes and your dreams,
Could on this day come true;
I'd wrap them all with a pretty bow,
As my birthday gift to you.☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥

*A Message From Our Angels*

Don't judge me for how I left this world
Remember the love I gave
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made

Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad

But in time, memories will heal your heart
And I will forever be with you, in some way or part

Remember me when the Sun is bright
And laughter fills the air
On a moonlit night, or a whisper of wind
These things will tell you I am there

Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For leaving them without good-byes
They will never be the same

If I could go back in time
I'd say a last good-bye
I'd tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me..do not cry..."

From Heaven - Our Angels

"THE MOMENT THAT YOU DIED"

The moment that you died,
My heart split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a trip down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone by without you,
But it will never be the same.

For those who still have their babies',
Treat them with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and they are not there

♥With All My Love..To My Baby Mike..♥

Do you know our pain?
Do you know our hearts are breaking?

Your childhood years with fun and games.
Your teenage years sometimes brought pain.

You were there when you were needed.
Your love for us was all we needed.

Now you're gone and we're still here.
We'll miss you more each passing year.

Our hearts are heavy filled with pain.
Life will never be the same.

We saw a rainbow bright and clear.
We hope that means you're staying near.

If we could have just one more day.
We'd tell you all we didn't say.

We'd tell you how we love you dear.
And how we wish that you were here.

And when our saddest days are done.
One day we'll look and see the sun.

Maybe see a bright blue sky.
A river gently flowing by.

Thoughts of you will ease our pain.
we'll remember you and smile again.
