INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS
TO THOSE I LOVE
AND
THOSE WHO LOVE ME
When I am gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful for our many beautiful years!
I gave to you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you cannot see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you, soft and clear!
And then, when you must come this way
Alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say:
"Welcome home!" ` Author Unknown
Dearest
When you wonder the meaning of life and
love,
Know that I am with you.
Close your eyes, and feel me kissing you
In the gentle breeze across your cheek.
When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again,
Quiet your mind and hear me;
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love.
When you lose your identity,
When you question who you are and where you are going,
Open your heart and see me.
I am the twinkle in the stars smiling down upon you,
Lighting the path for your journey.
When you awaken each morning not remembering your dreams
But feeling content and serene,
Know that I was with you,
Filling your nights with thoughts of me.
When you linger in the remnant pain,
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar,
Think of me.
Know that I am with you,
Touching you through shared tears of a gentle friend
Easing the pain.
As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky,
In that breathtaking brilliance, awaken your spirit,
Think of our time together, all too brief, but ever brilliant.
When you were certain of us together,
When you were certain of your destiny,
Know that God created that moment in time
Just for us.
I am with you always. Author Unknown
WHISPERS FROM
HEAVEN
Mother, dear, dear Mother
Could we talk, you and I?
When I look down from Heaven, sometimes I see you cry.
I want so much to hug you then
As tight as tight can be,
Because I think the tears you shed
Are sad, sad tears for me.
Dear Mother, I forgive you,
O please believe I do!
It must have been so difficult,
so very hard for you
They told you things would be all right,
Your life would just go on,
But never said how much you'd weep
And grieve when I'd be gone
Yet we can still be very close
And love each other, too,
For though I'm now with God,
I'll always be a part of you.
So Mother, won't you name me, please
And from my Home above,
I'll hear you and I'll come each time
You call to me with love.
I'd like to be the faithful friend
In whom you can confide;
Your sentinel before God's Throne,
The angel at your side.
So talk to me and sing to me,
And pray with me, please do!
And when you send a smile to me,
I'll send one back to you!
So don't be sad, dear Mother,
You'll be just fine, I know,
For I'll be there in spirit wherever you may go.
And when God brings you Home to me,
My heart will know true bliss,
As I run up to greet you
With a great big hug and Kiss! Author Unknown
To My Beloved Family and Friends
"To my beloved family and friends,
death is
nothing at all. I've only slipped away into
the next room.
I am I and you are you. Whatever we were
to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name. Speak
to
me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone. Wear no
false air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as
we always laughed at the little jokes we
enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my
name be ever the household word that it
always was. Let it be spoken without a
ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever was.
It is the same as ever. There is absolutely unbroken
continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I'm
out of sight? I am but waiting for you for
an interval. Somewhere very near, just
Around the corner, all is well."

THE CORD
We are connected, My child and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord that connects us 'til birth.'
This cord can't be seen by any on earth. This cord does its work right
from the start.
It binds us together attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
though no one can see the invisible cord from my
child to me.
The strength of this cord is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed.
It can't be denied.
It's stronger that any cord man could create.
It withstands the test,
can hold any weight.
and though you are gone
though you're not here with me,
the cord is still there but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart I am bruised…I am sore,
but this cord is my lifeline as never before.
I am thankful that God connects us this way
A mother and child death can't take it away!

AFTER GLOW
I'd like the Memory of Me
To be a Happy One
I'd like to Leave an After Glow
Of Smiles When Life is Done
I'd like to Leave an Echo Whispering
Softly Down the Ways
Of Happy Times and Laughing Times
And Bright and Sunny Days
I'd like the Tears of Those who Grieve,
To Dry Before the Sun
Of Happy Memories that I Leave
When Life is Done
