My cousin, Tito, touched many lives when he was physically with us. His presence will not be forgotten and definantly remain with us in our hearts. I am so proud to have a cousin of Tito's character. Until we meet again, this page is dedicated to him. We love you Tito.
"I'll lend you for a little time
a child of Mine," He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
or twenty or three
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
as solace to your grief.
"I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn,
I've looked the wide world over,
in My search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love,
nor thing the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
to take him back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child will bring,
the rist of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
we'll love him while we may,
And for the happines we've known,
forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand."
"To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me"
When I am gone, release me, let me go- I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me in tears, Be happy that we had these years. I gave to you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part so bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near And if you listen with your heart you'll hear, All my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and "Welcome Home".
