~A
MILLION TIMES~
A million times
we've needed you
A million
times we've cried
If love alone
could've save you
You never
would have died
In life we
loved you dearly
In death we
love you still
In our hearts
you hold a place
No one else
will ever fill
It Broke our
hearts to lose you
But you didn't
go alone
Part of us
went with you
The day God
took you home.

~DON'T
CRY FOR ME~
I'm sorry that
I had to leave you.
A distant
voice called me away.
There was
so much left for us to share,
so much we
never got to say.
But all my
pain is far behind me,
confusion
finally laid to rest.
I hope my
life here had a reason.
What you do
now will be the test.
I died too
early, but I always knew I would.
I lived life
the way I wanted,
and always
looked for something good
in everyone.
As I look
down upon you now,
my hopes for
you are still so strong.
Better to
have loved and lost,
but we haven't
lost for long.
Dont cry for
me, beloved friends.
I've risen
beyond this world of fear.
Hold my friendship
in your memory,
and always
know that I am near.
I know the
grief will nearly kill you.
Dry your eyes,
and carry on.
Remember me,
for through
your lives,
my spirit
will live on.

~DOUGLAS~
As I am sitting
here thinking of what to say to you I can remember
all the good
times that we had over the years. How you always
thought of
me first before you thought of yourself. You were
the most wonderful
son a Mother could ever ask for and I would
have told
you that I loved youmany many times more if I had
known ahead
what was in store.
From Mom,
who loves
you with all of her heart,
and who can't
wait to hug you again someday.
~LETTER
FROM HEAVEN~
~Author Unknown~
To my dearest
family, some things I'd like to say.
But first
of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing
this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's
no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do
not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that
I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I
had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked
me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good
to have you back again,
you were missed
while you were gone.
As for your
dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you
here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so
much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me
a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost
on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you
lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I
are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think
of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you
are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there
would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that
I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were
to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing
is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer
to you now, than I ever was before.
There are
many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together
we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always
my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you
give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can
help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can
say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I
am contented....that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as
I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you
meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend
a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're
walking down the street
and you've
got me on your mind;
I'm walking
in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's
time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're
not going.....you're coming here to me.
~MY
SON~
I will miss
you more each passing day
It hurts this
heart so much
To know that
you are far away
Your face
I can not touch
Nor can I
see your smiling face
or hold you
close to me
For you are
in another place
So far, far
away
This love
I have inside my son
Belongs to
only you
But each night
it cries a tear
For the love
I have for you
So reassure
me of your love
And I'll get
by some way
I promise
to the heavens above
That I will
see you again someday
