MEMORIES

Precious and painful ...bitter and sweet
etched in my heart ...ever so deep.

We all have them ...and some are so dear
wouldn't trade them ...for years and years.

Some so painful ...wish you'd forget
leaves you feeling ...nothing but regret.

Memories I'll cherish ...till the day I die
when out of this earth ...my spirit will fly.

And when I'm gone ...and you are still here
just close your eyes ...and I'll appear.

Memories you'll feel ...like a sweet gentle kiss
savour the moment ...the feeling of bliss.

The warmth of the sun ...the smell of the rain
memories envelope you ...in all of your pain.

I know you'll be sad ...but try not to grieve
as after all ...memories I leave.

Hold to them tight ...don't let go
memories of the heart ...I cherished them so !

ANGELS AND FAIRIES
∗

I believe in angels,
And I believe in fairies, too,
They're not one and the same, you know,
They are distinctly two.
Angels are within the heart,
Fairies ... in the mind,
Angels ... always there to care,
Fairies ... just sometimes.

∗

Fairies like to tease and play,
They dance and entertain,
They tickle chins and noses,
Like bubbles in champagne.

∗

Angels are more serious,
They do heavy-duty things,
Like easing fears and wiping tears,
And hugging with their wings

∗

Angels are assigned by God,
They very rarely show,
Fairies oft are seen in dreams,
And, at will, they come and go.

∗

Fairies live in fantasies,
They are wee, tiny things,
They flit about erratically,
On dainty gossamer wings.


∗

Angels, though, are very real,
They come in different sizes,
Large, medium, small, petite,
It's hard to recognize them.

∗

Fairies make all people smile,
Young and old alike,
To see one bathing in the dew,
Is a pure delight.

∗

Angels, on the other hand,
May fill our eyes with tears;
We're overwhelmed with gratitude,
They've watched over us for years.

∗

When we've been saved from trouble,
It's not coincidence,
God's placed angels in our path,
To stand up in our defense.

∗

Fairies offer fun and frolic,
Both to small folk and full-grown,
But when people's lives are over,
Then angels take them home.

∗

God's angels and earth's fairies,
I think are quite essential,
They surely are related,
For both are quintessential.

My beacon light, my guiding star
Whether you are near or far
You light the path and show the way
And bring me grace to face the day

That grace, a gift of inner glow
Comforts me and helps me grow
And in a meadow flying free
The butterfly you saw in me.

In my minds eye we can stroll
Hand in hand and heart to soul
Each new dawn again I face
Forever held in you embrace.

So as I gaze out in the night
I think about your guiding light
Each star shining helps me cope
By sending me it's rays of hope.

While we are so far apart
A spark of you lives in my heart
And lights the fire of love's true flame
Each star is echoing your name .

If I could talk to you, I would never stop. If I could see you, I would never look away. If I could be with you, I would never leave I love you

I need to tell you something,
That I hope will help you see...
I'm not sad in heaven,
Because God is here with me.
***************************
It was on the day I left you,
That I saw the tears you cried,
But please don't worry about me,
God keeps me by His side.
***************************
I'll save a place here for you,
In heaven next to me...
Where we can be together,
The way you wanted us to be.
***************************
For now, please know I love you,
And dry those tears you cry...
I'll wait for you in heaven,
Where we will never say goodbye.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY
⋱♰⋰17th March 2011 ⋱♰⋰

St. Patrick's Day
♥
St. Patrick's Day is here, you see.
♥
We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three.
♥
We'll count the leaves and look them over,
♥
And maybe find a four-leafed clover.
♥
I'll sew green buttons on my vest,
♥
Green for St. Patrick is the best.
♥
I'll wear a green hat, very high,
♥
And dance a jig--at least I'll try!

If I could take all yesterdays and create them anew
until your vision of me was completely brand new
and your heart in a swoon was suddenly free
Heaven could not hold you, and you would come back to me...............
Can't believe it's been 4 year's since you passed away, still feels like yesterday :( ...................
Miss you Uncle John X x x x x

A Dream of Christmas

I had kindled the hearth to warm my toes and started some Hickory brew
To heat up my insides as well, as another December day was through.
And breathing in that wholesome scent, I closed my worn eyes tight
Resolved that I might dream a bit that cold and snowy night.

In the almost formless shadows, the quiet cabin came alive.
Whispering messengers delivered me gifts as the clock struck Ten-and-Five:
The crackle of the fire, the creaking of the floor,
The childlike wintry whining of the wind beneath the door.

Like an echo ever-coming, sounds bounced from every cob:
From the eaves to the boards to my ivory doorknob.
And then in fright and worry I spun around in place
And there before my ornate mantle crept the shadow of a face.

The shadow bore a beard that stretched almost from sight.
It flickered and it quivered in the muted candlelight.
It seemed to hold immense respect for whom it reflect
And in that moment it was enough just to stay circumspect.

But as my nerves were calming enough to clearly think
The most surprising, brilliant light forced my eyes to blink.
There when I reopened them in beauty that made me gape
Were glistening elven sprites about and Santa donned in velvet cape.

Lo! It was the grandest thing to watch that cheerful pack
Race to lace the finest ruby ribbons round my tree and back.
From Santa's sleeves red ringing bells shot out like from a gun
Followed by green garlands and globes that filled the room as he spun.

Betwixt this glorious tumult open flew my shutter doors,
A gusty wind freezing cold the candles to their cores.
Gone was all illumination, in black the chamber stood.
I heard but recapitulation of the horn owl in the wood.

Then again the hearth flames livened allowing me to see -
No Christmas bells rang anywhere; no ribbons wrapped my tree.
My visit from Santa Claus had been but reverie.
So with a smile I lay me down to again with Santa be.
