Jimmy got his call from
the Angels due to a short
bout of lung cancer.

Almost there beyond the sky
Heaven's glory way on high
Beauty that's beyond compare
Close your eyes and you are there

Feel the air so clean and pure
Touched by spirit's gentle lure
To be within a place of peace
Heaven's glory now released

Calm that fills the heart alone
Yet filled by glory that you own
Within this gift in life we share
Precious joy that takes us there

Reaching for the height of life
Setting free the pain and strife
Within this moment you are blest
In silence you are welcome guest

Bringing joy in peaceful way
Spirits joined in life to pray
Seeking love that's never far
Just because of where you are

Precious life that fills your soul
Place we reach will make us whole
Glory be the love that binds
Within the height of all mankind.

In the Still of His Life

He settles comfortably in
a thicket on the forest floor

He feels the dampness of the leaf -
carpeted cushion below his lean body.

He hears the plaintive coo of
doves in the morning quiet

He see the shafts of sunlight
filtering through the branches
of the surrounding majestic trees

He observes the brilliantly colored
birds as they flit here and there.

He enjoys the light kiss of
the breeze on his face

He smiles as he becomes aware of the
graceful doe and her playful fawn.

He loves this tiny part of nature
created by his God above

He sighs as he realizes this will be
his last visit here but without regret.

As God extends His loving hand to
lead him on his next journey of life

He sheds a tear of thankfulness for
being blessed one more time with his
favorite place...his paradise on earth.

When Life Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with
tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you
did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't
get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to
understand, that an angel came and called my name and
took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in
heaven far above and that I'd have to leave behind all
those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you .
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday I thought just for awhile
I'd say good bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come
tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was
filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gate, I felt so much
at home. When God looked down and smiles at me, from His
great golden throne, He said, " This is eternity and all
I've promised you". Today for life on what is past but
here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today
will always last, and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew
you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now
at last you're free. So won't you take my hand and
share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without
me. don't think we're far apart. For every time you
think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
