Merry Christmas!

At the ending of the day when I'm weary
After a waterfall of tears have all been cried
And I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary
Nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.

I lay my head upon my favorite pillow
Just close my eyes to block all the sorrow
Wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside-
To do it all again - tomorrow.

And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.

It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
Your lovin' angel wings.

The sun comes up, it's time to face the day
And I think that things are going to be all right-
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray-
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.

And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall
As I look at my reflection in the glass-
The eyes looking back at me make me feel small-
And I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?

And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.

It's you, my angel watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
Your lovin' angel wings.

Thank God for your angel wings.


All my love this Christmas and New Year. Thank you for all your candles, tributes and pictures this year, you have been a huge support to me and my family. I have met some truly amazing people on GTS, you all have hearts of gold, and have given me hope that there are some utterly selfless, wonderful people in the world. Thank you for everything. Love always. xxxxxxx

Christmas in Heaven
by Unknown

'Tis Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight!
It's wonderful here;
Everything is all right.

The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars,
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.

I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;
The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.

And tonight we'll all gather,
In reverence we'll kneel,
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is Real.

I think of my family
that I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine

Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,
Just love one another;
Live life to its best.

Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,
So I've heard them say,
Yet, Christmas In Heaven
Happens every day.

A Christmas Present

It's Christmas and I'll miss you
You'll never know how much
The greatest thing I could get
Would be just to feel your touch.

I know you're safe in God's arms
And you're as happy as can be
And I know that I'm being selfish
To want you here with me.

Have a lovely Christmas
I'll get by, you'll see
Just Promise me on Christmas day
That you will think of me.

Today I touched your face again
and watched you for awhile,
I talked of things deep in my heart
and wished I could make you smile.

I rubbed your head and told you,
how proud I am of you,
For all the little things you did
and the way you did each one.

You show such courage daily
and you teach me how to live,
To make each moment count in life
and to give all I can give.

Did I tell you 'You're my hero'
when I saw you yesterday?
Or did it slip my mind
as I gently put you away?

I know your time on earth is done,
but it's how you lived each day,
You made the most of what you had
and always found a way,
To touch the hearts around you,
to love while you may.

I wish with all my heart right now,
the face I touched today,
Wasn't made of paper
or neatly placed away.

But I will put you on the shelf again
for all the world to see,
I'll talk to you tomorrow
just like I do each day.
And I'll tell you 'You're my hero'
as I gently walk away.

Love to you always, and especially now as Christmas is approaching and our loved ones who cannot be with us are constantly in our thoughts.
I'm sorry I have not been on lately, having quite a hard time with money and health problems, and in case I don't get on before Xmas I want to wish all my GTS friends and their angels a very merry Christmas, and here's to the New Year.....may it be all that you wish for and more.

All my love, Mel. xxxxxxx

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.

.'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.

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♥

~MISSING YOU~

♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥ ♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥

We may no longer be together
As you're not here with me anymore
But I still feel you deep in my heart
Just the same as it was before.

When I gaze up at Heaven to you
And you look down on me
Our smiles light up the whole sky
For all of Heaven and Earth to see.

Knowing that you are at peace
Brings comfort to my sad heart
And I know God will take care of you
Now that we are apart.

Until we are together again
And sharing our heavenly home
I will always have my Angel in Heaven
Smiling down on me, and never be alone...

♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥ ♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
will change the way we feel.
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 cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.

Do Not Weep
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am a diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft star shine at night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry

I am not there.

I see you in the evening
and the darkness of the night.
You're with me in the morning,
when all the world is bright.
I feel you in a breeze,
like a tender warm embrace;
I feel you when a snowflake
falls softly on my face.
I hear you when it thunders
and the world seems at an end;
I hear you whisper softly,
'One day your heart will mend'.
I hear you in a bird song
the humming of the bees.
Your voice is strong and vibrant
in the waves of stormy seas.
I see, I feel, I hear you,
you're there in all I do,
guiding and protecting,
until my life is through.

.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.

Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.

So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.
