I sometimes ask the Lord
Why He took You before me,
And though He's never answered-
I guess it was meant to be.
I tell myself You're watching,
That You're never far away;
I sometimes feel the slightest touch
When I bow my head to pray.
I know Heaven must have a window
With no curtain to hide the view,
I know You must stand there often
And watch me missing You.
I know You're helping me go on
You're guiding me through the pain;
I somehow sense You're telling me
There's more Sunshine now then rain.
Each new day now dawns with meaning
Something inside of me rings so true,
Today will slip into yesterday
And I'll be one day closer to You!

Tending To Her Love
~This angel up in heaven
In garden she enshrines
Is giving love to flowers
To make them each divine

Carefully she tends them
Flowers in their bloom
Giving them that extra love
So magnificence will loom

This angel has a special touch
As gentle as can be
A message that she sends to us
That every heart can see

Always when you love something
You nourish it each day
So it will give a bounty
Bringing greater love your way.~
"May this candle represent the light of LOVE.
We cherish the special place in our hearts that will always be reserved for you. We thank you for the gift your living brought to each of us."

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
Most of the battles of life
are won by looking beyond
the clouds to the sun.
And having patience
to wait for the day
when the sun comes out
and the clouds float away
One thing never changes,
It remains the same forever.
God truly loves His children
and He will forsake them never!
