If we did not go to sleep at night We'd never awaken to see the light, And the joy of watching a new day break Or meeting the dawn by some quiet lake Would never be ours unless we slept While God and all His angels kept A vigil throught this little death That's over with the morning's breath~~ And death, too, is a time of sleeping For those who die are in God's keeping And there's a "sunrise" for each soul, For life not death is God's promised goal~~ So trust God's promise and doubt Him never For only through death can man live forever! Helen Steiner Rice Don't let them say I wasn't born, That something stopped my heart, I felt each tender squeeze you gave, I loved you from the start. It doesn't mean I'm gone, This world was worthy, not, of me, God chose that I move on. I know the pain that drowns your soul, What you are forced to face, You have my word, I'll fill your arms, Someday we will embrace. You'll hear that it was "meant to be God doesn't make mistakes", But that won't soften your worst blow, Or make your hearts not ache. I'm watching over all you do, Believe me when I say to you, That I am always there. There'll come a time, I promise you, When you will hold my hand, Stroke my face and kiss my lips, And then you'll understand. Although I've do not breath your air, Or gazed into your eyes, That doesn't mean I never "was" An angel never dies...
