I Wanted you to know….

I was sitting here in heaven
And having a wonderful day.
I started thinking about you
And all the things I didn’t get a chance to Say.
I don’t want you to worry about me
And please don’t shed any tears,
Because I will wait for you in Heaven,
If it takes a hundred years.
Everything I had on Earth
I have in heaven too!
My first day here
My body became Brand New.
It is really pretty here
And I love my new home,
Although your heart is broken
Because my body is Gone.
My love will always be there
As you go along the way,
Just take a peek inside your heart
There is where I’ll stay.
Know that I loved my Family
And all my friends too,
My thoughts will be with each of You
Your whole life through

Praying for peaceful days as Meshael's Birthday and Heaven Date approaches with happy memories and new ones made. Lots of love felt by Meshael and hugs and kisses too.
All we have to do is sit still and believe and can feel the love our Angels send.
Love and Hugs! Patti Rawls

Heavens Child

In the soft gentle breeze, I hear you
I hear your sweet voice in the soft, gentle breeze
In the wind through the trees, I hear you
I hear your sweet cry in the wind through the trees

In the glory of sunrise... I see you
I see your sweet face in the sun's golden rays
As the moon and the stars play... I see you
I see your sweet smile as the Moon and stars play

With the beat of my heart... I feel you
The warmth of your love as I hold you so near
And when I close my eyes ... I can feel you
And I know you are there.. Oh I know you are there

Jan wrote this song for her Angel Tee, his picture is above. Tee's website addres is Angel Tee and I would love to link it with Meshael's as I'm so sure these two little Angels are holding hands and running pain free together.

 I Know An Angel

I know a little angel, halo all aglow
Fragile little wings that take her where she goes
She follows my every foot step
Keeps me always in her sight
Whenever I need a little blessing she makes everything all right
She tips her tiny halo
And blows me a kiss, or two, or three
A little wink and then she's off again
To show the world to me
Things that go unnoticed she quickly points them out
She tells me of God's secrets as she flutters all about
I feel the brush of tiny angel wings
As she gives an unexpected kiss
To have a pair of angel wings is my greatest wish
Her halo gets a little crooked as she gives a hug so sweet
And I just have to giggle when that tiny halo slips and rolls away
But she is always quick to find it and puts it back in place

I can always count on my angel to fill my heart with love
And remind me that life can be easy if I learn to lighten up
Let's pet the pretty kitties and eat ice-cream just because
Laugh just for the fun of it and give lots and lots of hugs
You can learn a lot from an angel
If you stop and take some time
I'd forgotten how cuddly puppies were
and sea-shells really are fun to find
Magic fairies live in dandelions when you
Blow their seeds away
And the beauty of a butterfly can brighten any day
Wherever I lost my childhood
She knows the secret to where it hides
A master at hide-and-seek she finds it every time

She flutters above my shoulder reminding me we all have angel wings
But they are far too delicate to carry a heavy strain
So I'll lay down all my burdens and face into wind
And as I fly with my tiny angel I'll learn to laugh again!
I know a tiny angel with her halo all aglow
fragile little wings take her where she goes
Now I can go with her she has taught me how to fly
And when I long for the innocence of childhood
I know just where it hides!
It took my tiny angel to show me
How to rise above it all
She found that touch of magic I lost so long ago
Even I have angel wings they were there hidden all along
To fly I only had to learn how to simply just let go

Angels Whisper in the Breeze

Angels whisper in the breeze,
Carrying God's miracles on downy wings.

Going forth to where they are told,
Having no particular agenda of their own.

They join hands when God says circle round,
Someone  is in need or feeling down.

Prayers are whispered into the wind,
Until from heaven a miracle is sent.

They gather round and form a ring,
An impenetrable barrier of angels wings.

They whisper to us courage, strength, and hope,
And they encamp about us when we need them the most.

Voices as soft as the feather is light,
Call across the distance to those out of sight.
From every corner of the earth that knows the wind,

Angels gather quickly and on us descend.
Celestial beings through which God's love flows,
May he send you his angels when you need them the most

"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life;
not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."

A Special Birthday

Please God, make them remember that today is a special birthday.
Make them understand that the memories don't go away.
Bless them with ears to hear and hearts that care.
Enable them to listen while I share.
Shelter them that they may never know my pain.
Help them to help me know that my child's life was not in vain.
Help them to remember, Lord,
that I wish my child was here so we could still celebrate.
To understand that I still feel the nearness of my child.
To see beyond my smile and the words "I'm OK"
Please God, let just one remember that
TODAY IS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY.

Gail,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you
as Meshael's anniversary and birthday is approaching...

SOMETIMES

Sometimes when I'm sleeping,
You whisper in my ear
And though I long to hold you
I'm content that you are near

Sometimes while I'm speaking
Your words come ringing through
They seem to come from my mouth
But I know that they're from you

Sometimes when I'm lonely
You touch my very heart
And I know you are around me
We will never ever part

Sometimes when I'm happy
I want to tell you so
But I know that you are watching me
You'll never, ever go

Sometimes when I'm missing you
The pain won't go away
Then you send Angel kisses
Till the aching goes away

Sometimes I know I'm lucky
That my Angel stays close by
To hug me and assure me
Until it's my turn to fly

Sometimes I feel I just can't wait
Until we meet once more
But I know that you'll be waiting
To lead me right through Heavens door

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 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 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!

Because you are such a very special person and such an inspiration, I made these little gifts to honor the birth of your Meshael for her 31st birthday. I'm so sad she didn't make it to this special day, but I'm sure she is in a place of such beauty and joy,
where there are no days, and she lives on in complete happiness and peace in the eternal 'Now'
With Much Love and Honoring Your Beautiful Little Darling Meshael as you hold her precious memory close to you.
Ann, Laurasmom

My Dearest Gail
You are a Friend that I am so glad to still have in my life.
I know this time is so hard for you, I just hope you know
in some small way that there are people out there
who are thinking and care for you very much.
MUCH LOVE
Sue-Anne/LEE

CORE

Softness of the skin
Sweetness in the smell
Nectar of the fruit
Tender in the heart
Dancing in the eyes
Uplifting in the smile
Tickle of the touch
Joining in the love

Truth in the speech
Love in the laughter
Primal in the scream
Soft in the whisper
Quick in the mind
Fair in the sentence
Brave in the confrontation
Joining in the love

Graceful in the sleep
Careful in the search
Deep in the sorrow
Strength in the sickness
Giving of thy self
Rich in the health
Kind in the giving
Joining in the love
