My Christmas Wish For You

My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.


Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the gravesite.
They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong. love mandy and family xxx

.'Christmas in Heaven'

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
.
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
.
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
.
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.

FOR THOSE I HAVE LEFT BEHIND

I have not gone far...I still see...
Those tears you shed...are for me...

I am not unhappy...I am not sad...
I just thank God...For all we had...

I did not choose...To go away...
But God told me...I couldn't stay...

He reached for me...with loving care...
Come with me child...If you dare...

Reach out your arms...to those below...
Blow them a kiss...So they will know...

Let the breeze of your kiss... Pass across their brow...
Let them know you are safe...and happy now...

Now dry your eyes...And remember me...
For where I am...Was meant to be...

To you that I have left behind...
The love we've shared...Will always bind...

If a breeze should pass...Across your brow...
Remember from where it came...And how...

Until we meet again one day...
I've not gone far... I am just away..

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Just think of me,and i'll be there.
I'm always around,i'm everywhere.
I'm in your dreams when you sleep.
I hear your cries when you weep.
Don't be sad,wear a smile on your face,
all my sufferings in a better place.
Ive left this world,my bodies gone,
but in your hearts my soul lives on.
I know you'll grieve and suffer pain,
but one day we'll be together again.

The Gift Of Knowing You
~x~
There are gifts of many treasures
For both the young and old,
From the tiniest little trinkets
To great boxes filled with gold.
~x~
But, put them all together
And they could not stand in lieu,
Of the greatest gift of all
The gift of knowing you.
~x~
When your times are filled with troubles
Sadness, grief, or even doubt,
When all those things you planned on
Just aren't turning out.
~x~
Just turn and look behind you
From the place at which you stand,
And look for me through the shadows
And reach out for my hand.
~x~
I will lift from you your burden
And cry for you your tears,
Bear the pain of all your sorrows
Though it may be for a thousand years.
~x~
For in the end I would be happy
To have helped you start anew,
It's a small price to pay
For the gift of knowing you.
~x~love liz xx

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥


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.

♥ღ♥

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.
♥ღ♥

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

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.
♥ღ♥

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

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.
♥ღ♥

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.
♥ღ♥

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

I Dreamed Last Night of Heaven

I dreamed last night of Heaven
As I followed you there
I felt your presence, heard your heart,
I almost touched your hair.

I remember crying
Just because I missed you so
Though I was right behind you
I didn’t want you to go.

I begged for a reminder
To help me see your face
A thing to hold and touch
But it left an empty place.

I looked for you in everything
I asked for you by name
I know that you were with me there
I’ll never be the same.

I dreamed last night of Heaven
I ache for one more glimpse
Of the love I felt while near you
And the beautiful heart I miss.

WHEN ANGELS CAME FROM HEAVEN

When angels came from heaven
And flew away with you
We were left heartbroken
Not knowing what to do

There was no warning signs
Just a pair of pure white wings
And now we miss you very much
And all the joy you used to bring

We feel an empty space inside
Its a place you used to be
And no one can replace you ever
Even though now your free

We keep asking the same question
Why did it have to be you
But theres never any answers
So what more can we do

We just hold on to your memorys
And keep that space open for you
And when we meet again some day
Our skys shall all turn blue

We miss you more each day that passes
As absence makes the heart grow stronger
And we shall love you forever more
No matter where you wander.

SPECIAL FRIENDS
There are moments in life when you miss someone

so much that you just want to pick them from

your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;

but often times we look so long at the

closed door that we don't see the one,

which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.

Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile,

because it takes only a smile to

make a dark day seem bright.

Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;

go where you want to go;

be what you want to be,

because you have only one life

and one chance to do all the things

you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,

enough trials to make you

strong,

enough sorrow to keep you human and

enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily

have the best of everything;

they just make the most of

everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always

be based on a forgotten past;

you can't go forward in life until

you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying

and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end,

you're the one who is smiling and everyone

around you is crying.



Please send this message to those people

who mean something to you (I JUST DID);

to those who have touched your life in one way or another;

to those who make you smile when you really need it;

to those who make you see the

brighter side of things when you are really down;

to those

whose friendship you appreciate;

to those who are so meaningful in your life
god bless you William.
******************** ****************
REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU LOOK UP AND THE STARS KISS YOUR EYES,
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A FLOWERS VELVET INSIDES.
I'M WALKING BESIDE YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO,
FEEL MY PRESENCE I'M WITH YOU.
YOU'LL FEEL ME THERE,
CARESSING YOUR FACE AND YOUR HAIR.
I CANNOT BE WITH YOU, THOUGH I WANT TO BE.
BUT YES I AM WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU SEE.
FEEL MY LOVE AND KNOW IT IS ME
MY ANGEL

Love Liz xx
