My dad..Who I loved dearly..He had a hard life,and lots of losses in his life..He was a quiet
man,proud and independent.
He worked all his life ...down the mines of south Wales, he served in the army during the war, which
I think was his best years,he loved the Army,my dad wouldnt say two words ,but put him with another
old soldier and you wouldnt stop him talking..
I used to think my dad was not loving ,but now realise that he was from an era when love and
affection wasnt shown..
When my dad was dying I went to Wales to see him and told him I loved him a million times in those
last hours..I held his hand ,something he wouldnt have let you do if he was ok..
He knew he was going ...he lifted his oxygen mask off and said .."I love you "...I had waited years
and years for that...
Some people can't express what they really feel...but it is there .

On Angel Wings

On angel wings you do fly
On angel wings into the sky
On angel wings i do cry
Because those angel wings took you away
On angel wings the heralds sing
Is there no such lovely thing?
On angel wings you fly away.
I will see these angel wings again someday
When i am old and my time has come
On angel wings I will fly
Until I'm holding you once again
Smiling on angel wings.

MY PHOTO ALBUM

The photo album of my mind
Holds treasured thoughts of you,
And I can almost see again
The things we used to do.
I hear your voice; I see your smile;
I feel you close to me.
The photo album of my mind
Shows how we used to be.
Time may have changed us through the years.
But I will always find
You’re just as I remember in
The album of my mind.
And, as I turn page after page,
Such precious scenes I see.
The photo album of my mind
Is very dear to me.
It holds the pictures of our past
Like reels of film unwind.
I cherish all those photos in
The album of my mind.

~ Immeasurable (by Sean Ashcroft) ~

Laughter will still sound,
even though you’re gone.
But the decibels will dip,
with some smiles, painted on.
Hopes will still soar,
dreams float on high.
But the altitude will drop,
as will the supply.
Passion will still drive us,
desire wave us off.
But the revs will decline
and the engine might cough.
Time will be bejewelled,
lives lit by waltzing light.
But the carats will diminish,
its brilliance a lesser sight.
Yet memories have no volume,
love no mass nor weight.
These will broaden, widen, deepen,
a true measure of something great.

A BUTTERFLY CAME FLOATING BY,
I THOUGHT I KNEW IT'S FACE.
IT LANDED ON MY SHOULDER,
AND SPREAD IT'S WINGS OF LACE.

I LOOKED AND SAW IT SMILING,
AS IT WINKED AND FLEW AWAY.
I'M SURE I HEARD IT WHISPER,
'WE'LL MEET AGAIN ONE DAY.'

•♥ The Messenger ♥•
Written by Kirsti (Angel scribe)

From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....
○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○
Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

♥ I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.
♥ I asked God for a tree, He gave me a forest.
♥ I asked God for a river, He gave me an ocean.
♥ I asked God for the world, He gave me you.
♥ My heart is lost to you, always and forever.

For a beautiful angel. xxx

ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ In Peace Go Home ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ
� Alan Pemberton

Through veils of peace may you ascend
To promised planes above
Where comfort shall await you
In those summerlands of love.

Although my grief is deep and raw
Although my pain is great
I know that you are still with me
I know that you will wait.

For in God's time we'll meet again
Of this I am quite sure
I loved you so much on this earth
In absence even more.

Wise Men Say

•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~

Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes,
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies.
Wise men say we come again
To live another span,
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan.
Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure,
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law.
Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream,
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme.
Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form,
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm.
So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain,
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again.

(Alan Pemberton)

⊱♥⊰ ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR... ⊱♥⊰~

The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
FLY HIGH ANGEL FLY
