The presence of an angel is like a snowflake lightly touching you with its special gift,
then evaporating into your warmth as you hurry on your way.

Guardians
By Adrienne Jones

After a morning there is an evening
And when the evening’s gone, another day.
If your heart’s broken, it will be mended,
For we will rise for you like guardians.
And we will sing your soul to keep
And we will keep the dark at bay
And we will lift you up to greet the morning.
If in your lifetime this world of troubles
Should come to peace among the nations,
Your heart, in gladness, would leap to heaven
And nevermore you’d need your guardians.
But we will sing our world to keep
And we will keep the dark at bay
And we will lift you up to greet the morning.

A Prayer for Spring

Like springtime, let me unfold
And grow, fresh and new,
From this cocoon of grief
That has been spun around me.
♥ღ♥
Help me face the harsh reality of
Sunshine and renewed life,
As my bones still creak from
The winter of my grief.
♥ღ♥
Life has dared to go on around me.
And I recover from
The insult of life's continuance.
I readjust my focus to
Include recovery and growth
As a possibility in my future.
♥ღ♥
Give me strength to break out of
The cocoon of my grief.
But may I never forget it as
The place where I grew my wings,
Becoming a new person
Because of my loss.

x I'm Still Here x

Your heart has been heavy since that day
The day you thought I went away.
I haven't left you I never would
You just can't see me,though I wish you could.
It might ease the pain that you feel in your heart
The pain that you've felt since you believed us to part.
Try and think of it this way,it might help you to see
That I am right here with you and always will be.
Remember the times we were out in the yard,
You could not always see me yet I hadn't gone far.
That's how it is now when you look for my face
I'm still right beside you still filling my place.
I find it to be so very sad
That seeing and believing seem to go hand and hand,
The love and the loyalty the warmth that I gave,
You felt them,did not see them,but you believed just the same.
I walk with you now like I walked with you then
My pain is now gone and I lead once again.
My eyes always following you wherever you roam
Making sure you're okay and you're never alone.
Our time was too short yet for me it goes on
I won't ever leave you,I'll never be gone.
I live in your heart as you live in mine
An enduring love that continues to shine.
That day will come and together we'll be,
And you'll say take me home boy,and once again I will lead.
Until that day comes don't think that I've gone
I'm here right beside you,and my love it lives on.

A Little boy
A special friend
A little fighter
Right to the end.
Gone from our lives
But not from our hearts
We'll keep you there always
Like we have from the start.

We never lose a joy we once have known,
We never lose a love so tender grown,
We never lose a smile whose seed was sown
Deep in our hearts.
Earthly life may pass,
But 'tis not lived in vain...
Joy, love and smiles live on forever
Just the same.

☆ I'm Going To Board A Dream ☆

I'm going to board a dream today,
And sail off on a cloud,
And drift to the end of a saffron sky
Where the sentries rightly proud
Push back the thin prismatic bars to let a dreamer in.
I'm going to sit where the dawn drips gold,
And watch the day begin
With quiet sifted generously on
Mountain slope and plain.
Where shepherds rouse their drowsy sheep
With prodding staff and cane.
I'm going to slide down the golden shafts
Of sunbeams through the trees,
And kiss the cheek of each sleeping child
And rout the bumblebees.
☆
And when the sun reflects high noon,
And the South to siesta goes,
I'll curl myself in the perfumed depths
Of a cool white rambler rose,
And all the lazy afternoon I'll watch
A spider spin
A patient web of flimsy lace,
And in the evening pin
The twilight with a studded star;
Then draw nights jewelled shroud.
Oh, I'm going to board a dream today
And sail off on a cloud.

In this dim world
of clouding cares,
We rarely know, till
‘wildered eyes
See white wings
lessening up the skies,
the Angels with us,
unawares.

To Hold A Moment

I sought to hold a moment in my hand...
A shining bit of time that would not stay,
and while I clutched it close beneath my heart...
I felt its fragile beauty slip away.

In frantic haste I closed my other hand
upon its shimmering beauty as it lay...
But time cannot be brought back once its gone
...nor yet one single moment forced to stay.

♥ You Are a Rainbow ♥

You are a rainbow
Shedding light, joy and hope
...here only briefly, yet living on in memory.

A rainbow is a promise
Bringing hope for a better future
...reminding us to enjoy the moment before it is gone.

A promise is a kiss
From you to me
...the hope that carries through the darkness.

A kiss is love
That knows no boundaries
...the link between you and me that can never be broken.

♥ An Angel's Touch ♥
(Believe)

A feather fell to earth today
and touched my aching heart
I felt an Angel close to me
With wisdom to impart:

When sadness seems
to overwhelm
And take away the light,
Remember that the
sun will rise
As morning follows night.

Believe that you can overcome;
Believe that you can win;
Believe that you are in His care
And let the sunshine in.

The Reddened Rose

The beauty of the single rose
That lay below the brambled stem
It gently dies at sweet day’s end
No more to feel ~ life’s warmth within

~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~

My heart is like the reddened rose
Whose life has bled upon the ground
Fading with each passing breath
A heart that beats ~ without a sound

A silent silence ~ no one can hear
As deep within the pain grows strong
While thorns do prick the heart’s veneer
Sorrow sings ~ its lasting song

The bleeding heart that beats in me
With silent grief ~ of roses past
That lived in gardens of my life
Oh, they have breathed their earthly last

Withered petals’ sweet repose
Now undisturbed ~ they rest alone
As memory caries on the wind
Their beauty rests beneath the stone

I walk upon this hallowed ground
Where the lonesome wildwood grows
My heart will ever linger here
To bleed upon the reddened rose…..

Hazelmarie Elliott

Leaf after leaf drops off,
flower after flower,
Some in the chill,
some in the warmer hour:
Alike they flourish,
and alike they fall,
And the Earth who nourished them
receives them all.
Should we, her wiser sons,
be less content
To sink into her lap
when life is spent?

ღ Signs ღ
(By Jamie Van Der Meer)

My angel sends a butterfly,
To land upon my arm.
They send me signs to let me know,
They’re safe & loved & warm.

My angel sends me rainbows
On a cloudy day.
I understand that they are near,
And things will be okay.

Today they sent me snowflakes,
From a sunny sky above.
I could feel their presence,
And the power of their love.

My angel sends me little signs
In the moon and skies
The signs are subtle, yet I know,
They're meant just for my eyes.

I look for all these little signs,
To comfort me each day.
The signs can even make me laugh,
My angel loves to play!

These signs are The Creator's things,
And you might think it's odd,
To believe my angel sends these signs,
They do...they’re one with God.
︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽
ღ Pax ღ
(By D.H. Lawrence)

All that matters is to be at one with the living God
To be a creature in the house of the God of Life.

Like a cat asleep on a chair
at peace, in peace
and at one with the master of the house,
with the mistress at home,
at home in the house of the living,
sleeping on the hearth, and yawning before the fire.

Sleeping on the hearth of the living world,
yawning at home before the fire of life
feeling the presence of the living God
like a great reassurance
a deep calm in the heart
a presence
as of a master sitting at the board
in his own and greater being,
in the house of life.

A star sometimes comes just to wish upon
no sooner beheld than to be gone.
Too wondrous, too precious, too rare to seek
too brilliant, too burning, too quick to keep.
Sweeping the heavens with a graceful arc
they rob sad corners of all their dark,
then quietly flicker off into the night
and leave in our hearts an eternal light.
