POEMS
A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN
Perhaps you aren't ready yet
to have to say goodbye...
Perhaps you've thought of things
you wish you'd said---well, so have I.
For one thing, I'd have told you
not to worry about me...
I'm with the Lord in Heaven now--
you knew that's where I'd be.
I'm sorry that you're feeling sad,
for I'm so happy now...
I've asked the Lord to ease the hurt
and comfort you somehow.
It's hard at the beginning,
but I know you'll make it through..
I hope it helps to know
that I'll be waiting here for you.
ANGEL EYES
A bright eyed angel came one day
a spirit of peace and love
An extra special blessing
to teach of our Maker's love.
No promises made how long she'd stay
our love and care she'd need
Until the time she must return
to her Lord and Maker above.
The love so easy, but the care so hard
each day a journey in pain.
But her Maker gave courage, strength and love
to carry us to the end
And when, at last, she went to be
with Him in Heaven again
The cries of joy I felt for her
far outweighed my cries of pain.
TO MOMMY
Oh mother,my mother, I touch your tears
Invisible fingers, soothing your skin,
I know you think of me so often
In the day, in the night, in your dreams
Going into my empty room,
Knowing I'll never be there
But I am....in your heart
In your soul, I shall always be
For you gave so unselfishly of yourself.
You gave me the courage to go on in my journey,
I hope I can do the same for you,
Your heartbeat will always call me to you.
Love, your child

NOT YET
Sometimes I ask the question,
"My Lord, is this your will?"
It's then I hear you answer me,
"My Precious Child... be still."
Sometimes I feel frustrated,
Cause I think I know what's best.
It's then I hear you say to me,
"My Busy Child... just rest"
"I know the plans I have for you,
The wondrous things you'll see;
If you can just be patient, Child,
And put your trust in me.
I've plans to draw you closer.
I've plans to help you grow.
There's much I do you cannot see
And much you do not know.
But know this, Child ..... I LOVE YOU.
You are Precious unto Me.
Before I formed you in the womb,
I planned your destiny.
I've something very special
I hope for you to learn.
The gifts I wish to give to you
Are gifts you cannot earn.
They come without a price tag,
But not without a cost;
At Calvary, I gave Myself,
So You would not be lost.
Rest, Child, and do not weary
Of doing what is good.
I promise I'll come back for you
Just like I said I would.
Your name is written on my palm,
I never could forget;
Therefore, do not be discouraged when
My answer is... "Not Yet"
