~I'M FREE~
~Author Unknown~

~HALLOWEEN ~ 1988~
~RACHEL - 5 YEARS  & KRISTEN - 3 1/2 YEARS ~

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me
He set me free.
 
 

JUST ONE MORE HI.
JUST ONE MORE GOOD-BYE.

JUST ONE MORE MOMENT.
JUST ONE MORE SECOND.

JUST ONE MORE HUG.
JUST ONE MORE TUG.

~RACHEL WEARING HER BIRTHDAY CROWN~
3 YEARS OLD~

JUST ONE MORE KISS.
JUST ONE MORE MISS.

JUST ONE MORE FLOWER.
JUST ONE MORE HOUR.

JUST ONE MORE DANCE.
JUST ONE MORE CHANCE.
 
 

~WHISPER OF AN ANGEL~

The whisper of an angel
Can open Heaven's gate,
A glimpse of faith and courage
A love strong enough to wait.

Whisper you are safe
Whisper softly, angel love,
My heart is aching so
Needing comfort from above,

Tell me you are with me
Whisper gently in my ear,
"You will always be my sister"
In the quiet I will hear,

My heart still aches to hold you
I close my eyes and see,
Your face now, years later
And who you were to be,

Though dreams I once held close
In the distance now, so far
Still you're more than just my sister
You're the twinkle in the stars,

So I'll hear your angel whispers
"You never need let go,
Hold me, sister, close within"
Though the pain and sorrow flow,

One day we shall reunite
Angels whisper words of grace,
And I promise I will hold you
In another time and place

~IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL~
~Sara McLachlan~

Spending all your time waiting, 
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty, and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel, fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage, 
Of your silent reverie
Your in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting, 
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, 
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of an angel, fly away from here
From this cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
