In Loving Memory of Shelley Marie Beasley
Shelley, you have been gone
for one year,
No day has since passed
without a tear.
You are missed, so very,
very much,
Oh, if only your hand, I could
touch.
In the time that you have
been away,
I've had to survive from day
to day.
We are taught that God
knows best,
When one is taken and laid
to rest,
So, God, please guide me
through this time,
Until one day soon,
I will find,
In that far away land waiting
for me,
Loved ones, along with
Shelley Marie.

TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN
We think of you in silence
and often speak your name,
But all that's left to answer
is your picture in a frame.
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that would come true,
We would pray to God with all our hearts
for yesterday and you.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartaches make a lane,
We would walk our way to Heaven
to be with you again.

Mother, Please Don't Mourn for Me
Mother, please don't mourn for me;
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day,
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone, but I'm always near;
I'm everything you feel, see and hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart;
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight;
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach;
I'm the moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around,
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond;
the clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first blossom you'll see in Spring;
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking that there is no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the warm summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams that come when you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, Mom, I'm everyplace.

I'm An Angel Now
One night I cried to Jesus as I sat beneath the tree.
I looked into the open sky and hoped He'd answer me.
I'm lost, dear Lord, I've traveled far but still I seem to roam.
Please light the way and lead me, Lord; I need to get back home.
I told Him of my burdens and of the sadness in my heart~
that from His gracious love I'd never felt so far apart.
Why did you take my child, Lord? I cannot understand!
No longer can I touch her face or hold her hand.
I'm angry Lord, I'm missing her. I'm drowning in my sorrow.
Please help to heal my yesterday and face each new tomorrow.
It was then I heard her gentle voice and felt her presence near.
How I wanted so to hold her as I cried another tear.
She said, "Mom, I'm an angel now, my spirit is free.
I'm an angel now in heaven, so please don't cry for me.
I was chosen by our Lord above and now I'm in His care.
When you need me, look inside your heart. I promise to be there.
No one can ever take away our bond with one another.
For I'll always be your precious child as you will be my mother.
So if you cannot find your way or the road to home seems far,
Just look up to the Heavens and I'll be your guiding star."
She said, "Mom, I'm an angel now, my spirit is free.
I'm an angel now in Heaven ~ no need to cry for me."
