As roses bloom
and roses die ..
So too our souls
must one day fly.
To meet their maker
face to face ..
And share with Him
a great place.
Above the clouds
beyond the rain ..
There is a world
that knows no pain.
And here we’ll meet
those we love ..
Who’ve gone to be
with God above.
Her old bones creaked
and her pace was slow
but her smile was
blindingly bright ..
Her mind was sharp
and her voice was kind
her manner was a true delight.
The world had changed
in the winters she’d known
but she bore their
weight with pride ..
She shared her wisdom
and passed the goodness on
using her love of
life as her guide.
She did not bow to time
using life as her stage ..
She sought each morning’s joy
and she was never defeated by age.
- Jamie Samms

Gone, but not forgotten
This pain, I cannot hide ..
In memory, I see you
A million tears, I’ve cried.
The tender thoughts you left me
Come to my memory ..
Your loving smile, so precious
Will always be with me.
You visit me in summer
When flowers are in bloom ..
Upon a ray of sunshine
A star-lit night in June.
When winds are gently blowing
Across a cloudless sky ..
Within a rolling meadow
Where horse and cattle lie.
I see you in the treetops
As summer comes to be ..
In shadows, you do linger
A soul so young and free.
I see you in the garden
Your scent does fill the air ..
Just like a precious flower
A rose, so ever fair.
On country roads, I find you
Along the wooded lane ..
Within the distant thunder
I see you in the rain.
In early hush of morning
You come without a sound ..
Upon a blazing sunset
Your memory can be found.
Like sprigs of morning glory
Upon the vine, they grow ..
With branches reaching outward
Into my heart, you go.
Just like a special angel
God wrapped you in His care ..
And took you off to heaven
To live with Him, up there.
But often, I still see you
Upon a light blue sky ..
And long so much to hold you
Why did you have to die
~ Marilyn Ferguson
To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.
I’m writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above
Where there are no tears or sadness, there is just eternal Love.
Please do not be unhappy, just because I’m out of sight
Remember that I’m with you, every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me, and said, ‘ I welcome you’.
‘It’s good to have you back again
You were missed while you were gone ..
As for your dearest family
They’ll be here later on.
I need you here so badly, as part of my big plan
There’s so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man’.
Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you.
I will be beside you, every day of the week and year
And when you’re sad I’m standing there, to wipe away the tear.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth, and all those loving years
Because you’re only human, there’s bound to be some tears.
One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over
I am closer to you now than I ever was before.
And to my many friends, trust God knows what is best
I am not far away from you, I’m just beyond the crest.
There are rocky roads ahead for you and many hills to climb
Together we can do it, taking one day at a time.
It was my philosophy and please I’d like for you
To give unto the world, so the world will give to you.
If you can help someone who’s in sorrow or in pain
Then you can say to God at night, my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
When you’re walking down the street and I am on your mind
I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
And when you feel a gentle breeze of wind upon your face
That’s me giving you a great big hug, or just a s oft embrace.
When it’s time for you to go from that body to be free
Remember you are not going, you are coming home to me.
I will always love you
from that place way up above ..
I will be in touch again soon.
P.S. God sends his love.
