Micky Snow

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦

•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥

Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

YOUR SPECIAL ANGEL

.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆

When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day, or the darkness of the night.
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.

When something inside you just makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart.
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your head on your pillow, in the dark.

When you're alone, and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung.
When waking up in the morning, any troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel, before a new day has begun.

Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear;
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near.
I'm no longer able to be here in body, but I'm with you everyday,
As my loving heart, my soul, and my spirit, will never be far away.

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved ones gone
those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
for as long as there is memory
they'll live on in the heart.

.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆

There is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved
for those who have loved us
without question, without a word or promise
there is a special place
where there is no pain or fear
where love flows freely
there is a special place to rest
in our hearts forever.

.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆

I know how much I miss you
I feel an emptiness inside
It shows in everything I do
It's something I can't hide

I simply miss you being there
Life seems dull and flat
Without you nothings quite the same
I can't say more than that

But one day we will meet again
I know that this is true
But everyday until then
I know i'll just be missing you.

There are angels in the heavens
there are angels on the ground
there are angels all around you
just waiting to be found...
So when you're feeling lonely
or just a little blue
open your eyes to see the angels
they are there waiting for you...
Don't forget about these angels
during all of your good times too
for they like to share your happiness
and the joys that come to you...
They will wrap their wings around you
to protect and guide you through
all the sad and tragic moments
that this life can throw at you...
They are sent to you from heaven
from our father up above
so remember to look for the angels
they'll show you all gods love...

~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~

Have you ever truly heard
an angel whisper in your ear?
their voices are soft and comforting
letting you know you have nothing to fear...

If you listen very carefully
you might just hear their sweet voice
whispering to you of gods perfect love
and all things that make you rejoice...

They do their very best
to always watch over you
to keep you safe and happy
in everything you do...

So next time you feel lonely
kind of scared or feeling blue
just whisper to your angel
and listen...for they will whisper back to you...

I cannot dial your number
I can't get through to you
I called the operator
She did all that she could do

There is no code to heaven
I cannot place the call
No numbers left to try
I reckon i've tried them all

If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
If heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to say

Tell you that I love you
Miss you since you went away
And how much I prayed to god
That he could have let you stay

Oh darling, if heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to know
Things I want to tell you
How do you feel?
Should I stay or should I go?

Are you looking over me
Do you see me cry a tear
Questions I want to ask
Answers I need to hear

If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
My life has had no meaning
Since the day god took you away
I only know more sadness
More tears again today

Maybe one day i'll smile without you
Until then I will always cry
One day the sun may shine for me
Like it did for you and I

My life was for tomorrow
Now my life is yesterday
I cannot face this world alone
Please show me the way

If heaven had a phone
I'd ring you every day
If heaven had a phone
I'd hear your voice, know that you're okay

I just want to speak to heaven
please do you have a direct line
Operator says no number
But your loved one says they're doing fine

Love always Elaine x♥x♥

~~ The Angels ~~

May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring

May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall

May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed

May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold

May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter

~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~

I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun

I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met

Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power

Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools

And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you

When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there

~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~


~~ Guardian Angels ~~

When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on

Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side

~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~

Love Always ~~ Elaine...x♥x

A BROKEN HEARTED MOTHER


It's an entity all it's own
with it's pain that's never really gone.

It has many thoughts and faces
But very few reality traces.

It makes you ask many a question
All of which you try to shun.

What~When~Where~If Why?
Could I have done something, so my child wouldn't die?


This part of grief is a heart wrenching task.

Hours turn to days~days to months~months to years
This is the war~you fight without gear.

You feel bare and naked and all alone
at times, you feel like you can't go on.

You say "This happens to someone else ~ not me!"
This I think every one would agree.

But this time it really is you
You scream "No No No" but it's oh so true.

This nightmare that never ends
With these feelings~ you just can't pretend.

People say "Well you sure look good!"
Don't they know we would die if only we could.

Yes, grief has it's own way
While we endure it and live day to day.

FROM HEAVEN
I SEE TEARS FALL DOWN YOUR FACE
WHEN YOUR THOUGHT TURN TO ME
JUST KNOW THAT IM IN HEAVEN,
WITH MY LORD, WHOS SET ME FREE..

NO PAIN OR SADNESS DO I FEEL
FOR GOD IS BY MY SIDE.
THE BEAUTY HERE IN HEAVEN
IS NOW WHERE I RESIDE...

I KNOW ITS HARD FOR YOU TO COPE
FOR YOU CANT FEEL MY TOUCH
BUT FOR EVERY MOMENT,I CAN SEE
AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH...

WHEN YOUR AT YOUR LOWEST
AND FEEL YOU CANT GO ON,
LOOK TOWARDS THE HEAVENS
THE LIGHT WILL BE TURNED ON...

TALK TO ME, JUST LIKE YOU DID
ON EARTH,WHEN I WAS THERE,
YOU SEE,IM NOT SO FAR AWAY
ONLY AS FAR AS A PRAYER...

AND WHEN ITS TIME FOR YOU TO JOIN
ME UP IN HEAVEN ABOVE...
ITS THEN THAT YOU REALISE,
ITS THE GOLDEN PLACE OF LOVE...

FOR HERE THERE IS NO SADNESS
JUST EVERLASTING LIGHT...
SOMEDAY WE WILL BE JOINED AGAIN
WHEN ITS TIME TO TAKE YOUR FLIGHT...

I've listened to the footprints poem
a million times or more
of how when only one set shows
upon the sandy shore
it's the lord carrying us
and taking on our load
and his are the only set
of footprints that showed

But what if when we look
there are no footprints to be found?
all we see is plain and simple
sand upon the ground
no imprints showing that our lord
is carrying us through life
helping us when we feel
we can not handle all this strife

Where is my lord now that i've fallen
and can't seem to get back up?
so tired and lonely
trying to deal with what seems
an overflowing cup
where are those footprints
in the sand
to tell me he's right there?
helping me with problems
and showing that he really does care

Does he have favourites, OH NO
please tell me that's not so
but why does life seem easier
for some people that I know?
and sometimes I just scream out loud
although it seems in vain
but often gets harder each day
to deal with all this pain

And then it dawned on me
as I realize how simple could it be
I wonder why I was so blind
that I truly did not see
it must have been a lightening bolt
that one day gave me light
because out of the clear blue sky
I finally regained my sight

I saw a fluffy white cloud
shaped like an angel dear
that helped me to understand
and see things oh so clear
that's when I saw no footprints
and so often wondered why
my lord carried me on angel wings
when he decided to fly.
