DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO TALK

Do you ever sit in an empty room
do you appreciate an open bloom
do you smell it's sweet perfume

Do you feel the need to 'talk out loud'
but theres no one there to hear
do you hear a voice call out your name
so close up to your ear

Have you ever felt a sudden chill pas by
and the hair on your neck stands up
have you gone to pour a cup of tea
but someone's moved your cup

Do you believe in angels
do they make you smile
have you felt one on each shoulder
as you walk that long wiery mile

Do you know that all these things
are messages to you
do you believe that they exist
i'll tell you.....YES THEY DO

Footprints In The Sand x

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My child, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow

Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...

I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...

I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...

I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...

If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...

Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...

Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.

With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.

I know it’s hard and painful now
And your heart is truly breaking
But I just wanted you to know
As time goes on it will stop aching
I did not leave you there alone
I’m closer now than ever
I’m in your thoughts
Your mind and dreams
I’ll be with you forever

Do you think?.............

Do you think that I am over it
Better than before
Maybe I've forgotten
Doesn't hurt me anymore?

Do you think that I am doing fine
No tears are shed each day
Get up and just get going
Pain has all but gone away?

Do you think that I am coping
Living life just as you do
If that's what you imagine...
You don't have a single clue.

I cope, I cry, and I deny
I've learned how I must hide
Keep everything within me
Bottled up deep down inside.

I can't be who I was before
I've changed I'm someone new
It happens when you have a loss
You would be different too.

I'm so misunderstood each day
To tired to explain
Not over it, or better
Simply put... I'm not the same.

And will never be because you left me.

for you derek with love xxx

By...Isla Paschal Richardson
Read by Gregory Peck at Frank Sinatra's funeral, 1998
To Those I Love If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love To go along the silent way. . . Grieve not.
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me As if I were beside you there.
(I'd come. . .I'd come, Could I but find a way! But would not tears and And grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song Or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let the thought of me Be sad. . .
for I am loving you Just as I always have. . . You were so good to me!
There are so many things I wanted still to do. . .
So many things I wanted to say to you. . .
Remember that I did not fear. . .
It was Just leaving you That was so hard to face.
We cannot see beyond. . . But this I know:
I loved you so. . . 'twas heaven here with you

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY.................


Leprechaun.

Leprechaun, leprechaun, fly across the sea
And fetch an emerald shamrock for you and me.
Do not bring a nettle or a thistle for a joke,
But bring an Irish shamrock, for we are Irish folk.
And you and I, my leprechaun, will wear the shamrock gay,
And match it with and Irish smile upon St. Patrick's Day!

there are angels on the ground
there are angels all around you
just waiting to be found...
So when you're feeling lonely
or just a little blue
open your eyes to see the angels
they are there waiting for you...
Don't forget about these angels
during all of your good times too
for they like to share your happiness
and the joys that come to you...
They will wrap their wings around you
to protect and guide you through
all the sad and tragic moments
that this life can throw at you...
They are sent to you from heaven
from our father up above
so remember to look for the angels
they'll show you all gods love...
