About me

I HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED MY STATUS TO BE A GTS FRIEND TO SOME OF THE ANGELS I LIGHT CANDLES FOR, I REALISE NOW THAT THIS CAN BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME PEOPLE, I NEVER MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE OFFENDED AND I WILL REMOVE MYSELF STRAIGHT AWAY AS A GTS FRIEND, PLEASE ALSO LET ME KNOW IF YOU NO LONGER WANT ME TO LIGHT CANDLES FOR YOUR ANGELS, AND I UNDERSTAND IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LIGHT ANYMORE CANDLES FOR MY BABY.

I'M SORRY GRACIE IF YOU ARE ALONE, MUMMY AND DADDY LOVE YOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You ask me how I'm feeling,
but do you really want to know?
The moment I try telling you
You say you have to go

You ask me how I'm holding up,
but do you really care?
The second I try to speak my heart,
You start squirming in your chair.

Because I am so lonely,
you see, no one comes around,
I'll take the words I want to say
And quietly choke them down.

Everyone avoids me now,
Because they don't know what to say
They tell me I'll be there for you,
then turn and walk away.

Call me if you need me,
that's what everybody said,
But how can I call you and scream
into the phone,
My God, my child is dead?

I am tired of pretending
as my heart pounds in my chest,
I say things to make you comfortable,
but my soul finds no rest.

How can I tell you things
that are too sad to be told,
of the helplessness of holding a child
who in your arms grows cold?

Maybe you can tell me,
How should one behave,
who's had to follow their childs casket,
watched it perched above a grave?

You cannot imagine
what it was like for me that day
to place a final kiss upon that box,
and have to turn and walk away.

If you really love me,
and I believe you do,
if you really want to help me,
here is what I need from you.

Sit down beside me,
reach out and take my hand,
Say "My friend, I've come to listen,
I want to understand."

Just hold my hand and listen
that's all you need to do,
And if by chance I shed a tear,
it's alright if you do to.

A Kiss
We never stop to measure
Anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angels Kiss
A Kiss thats sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss thats very special
From someone that you love
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For its meant for only you
So when our hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again
About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And that gentle breeze you took for granted
Was just an Angels Kiss x

LOVE TO YOU ALL.

Yesterday evening

We'll Never Say Goodbye

I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears
•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•

You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall;
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I’m sure I hear you call
•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•

A part of you remains with me
That none can take away
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of new day.
•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•

I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh
But this I know-- we’ll meet again
And never say goodbye

LOVE TO YOU LORRAINE

Friday evening

~Pennies Come From Heaven~


Found a penny today
Laying on the ground
But its not just a penny
This little coin I found

Pennies come from heaven
That's what my Mum told me
She said angels toss them down
Oh, how I loved this story

She said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown

So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your loved ones have tossed to you

FOR SATURDAY

~God's Garden~

God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again

He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

FOR SUNDAY

~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for;
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realised
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.

LOVE TO YOU LORRAINE.

THINKING OF YOU LARRAINE AND BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GRACIE LOVE TO YOU BOTH XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thursday evening

God's Lent Child
Ill lend you for a little while,
A child of mine, God said
For you to love the while she lives,
And mourn for when shes dead.
It may be six or seven days
Or forty two or three,
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for me?

Shell bring charms to gladden you
And (should her stay be brief)
You’ll have her memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay
Since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below
I want this child to learn.

I‘ve looked this whole world over
In my search for teachers true,
And from the things that crowd lifes lanes
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love
Nor think the labour vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
This lent child back again?

I will do that I heard them say,
Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joys this child will bring
The risk of grief well run.
We will shelter her with tenderness
Well love her while we may
And for the happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for her
Much sooner than we planned
Well brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.

LOVE TO YOU.
