Tributes For This Weekend

FOR FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST


Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.

Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again,

I crash on rocks of anger,
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need

Are loving hands to hold me
When waters are to swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.

Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past,
By swimming in Hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.

FOR SATURDAY

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me


When I'm gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
Don't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you love.
You can only guess how much that
You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.

But it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me, grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comfort by trust.
It's only for a little while 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'll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.

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 will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home!"

FOR SUNDAY

Tears

Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.

When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.

In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.

If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.

Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.

Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.

No one will ever know.

Tributes for this weekend

FOR FRIDAY

I MISSED YOU

I woke up this morning
.....and I missed you
I got out of bed
.....and I missed you
I got myself washed
.....and I missed you
I got myself dressed
.....and I missed you
I came downstairs
.....and I missed you

I've only been awake a few minutes
And already I've missed you so much.
To those who've never lost a child,
Does that not make you understand?
Does that not make you see?
Just what my life is like now
How everyday is for me.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR SATURDAY

REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES

Remember the good times
Don’t ever feel sad
Remember the pleasure
And love that I had

Remember the laughter
And all that we shared
Remember with pride
For I know that you cared

And blame yourselves not
For what I did not see
My life had everything
You gave much to me

With love in our hearts
The memories will stay
Remember I'm only
A whisper away............

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR SUNDAY

♥♥ With Love ♥♥

They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.

I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.

I know your heart is hurting
The words we left, unsaid
I love you left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.

The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul.

For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray.

An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.

As I look down from the heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more weight than it can bear.

I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.

The joy I've found in heaven
Goes far beyond compare
The love that's so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.

The light is softly shining
There's no storm clouds here or rain
There's no teardrops found in heaven
There's no suffering, there's no pain.

You needn't be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we'll be together
One bright and glorious day.

So my love, you shouldn't question
My dear you need not cry
I've gone to be with Jesus
I really didn't die.

FOR MONDAY

Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.

Tributes For This Weekend

FOR FRIDAY 7th August

~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

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

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.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥


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.

Tributes For This Weekend

My Friend

I'm sending you this little note
It comes with love to say
I've asked your guardian angel
To watch over you each day

For whenever your feeling down
Your angels sure to know
And you'll soon receive guidance
And will know which way to go

Don't let your troubles worry you
Dear friend you will be fine
For your loved and protected
By a presence that's divine.

FOR FRIDAY

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

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR SATURDAY

Angel Mum’s

We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
We have given encouragement to each other,
Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
We share the title of grieving Mother.

Some of us lost older Daughters or Sons,
Who we watched grow over the years,
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age we cry the same tears.

We understand each other’s pain,
The bond we share is very strong,
With each other there is no need to explain,
The path we walk is hard and long.

Our children brought us together,
They didn't want us on this journey alone,
They knew we needed each other,
To survive the pain of them being gone.

So take my hand my friend,
We may stumble and fall along the way,
But we'll get up and try again,
Because together we can make it day by day.

We can give each other hope,
We'll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
Because we are Angel Mums and together we are strong!

FOR SUNDAY

So Little Time

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.

I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.

I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.

I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.

I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.

So smile when you think of me
and wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.

I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home to him.

FOR SATURDAY

DO YOU MAKE THEM LAUGH?

Do you make them laugh in heaven
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter
Like you did when you were here?

The very mention of your name
The memories of your smile
The little things you said and did
Are with us all the while.

You meant so very much to us
There's nothing left to say
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day

For no-one knows the heartache
That lies behind our smiles
No-one knows how many times
We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something
So there won't be any doubt
You're so wonderful to think of
But so hard to be without

We hold you close within our hearts
And there you shall remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

FOR SUNDAY

SWEET DREAMS

Sweet dreams are all I have of you,
They're all you left behind,
Those cherished, lovely memories,
Never again to find.

On earth you were so wonderful,
No child could I compare
To all the love you gave to me,
You were wonderful, so rare.

Sweet dreams they keep me going
Through the long and lonely nights
How I wish that I could hug you
Here and squeeze you oh so tight.

If I could walk to Heaven,
To see you every day
Just know I'd never want to leave,
I know I'd long to stay.

We parted here on earth my child
As God's will shall be done,
My dreams will become reality
When once more we'll be one.

I will love you for eternity,
Forever and some more,
Because you were the sweetest child,
The kindest and most pure.

If Heaven's full of Angels,
Like you were here on earth,
I thank the Lord for lending you,
For giving me your birth,

One day my child I'll see you there,
So please look out for me,
You'll see my smile so wide
Before you see my spirit free.

God takes the sweetest Angels first,
This we know is true,
For he came, looked around
And decided to choose you.
