When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the day-time, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us, don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine. -Ashley If You Could See Me Now I know that you are heartbroken and sad that I am gone. But I am in Heaven now, Momma, and I've never once left alone. Oh I wish you could see me now. Heaven is a beautiful site to see. Jesus is the light that shines forever. And He walks daily with me. Oh, the skies are never gray here. And it never ever rains. Although I know you feel pain ... Up here, there is no pain. Angels always sing in a choir for me! With voices so beautiful and clear. I am in the presence of my loved ones. Momma, I haven't seen one tear! I know that you are hurting for me. I can't make your pain disappear. But if you could see me now, you'd know I am happy in Heaven and I still love you from here! ~Author~ Kaye Des'Ormeaux Copyright 2000 All Rights Reserved. I Hear Each Tear Fall On Her Face My Mom doesn't know I'm watching her but I'm watching her just the same. And I hear each tear fall on her face at the very mention of my name. She says it sounds like music to her ears and can be heard over a crowd. Oh, I hear each tear fall on her face when my name is said aloud. I watch her stumble through each day as she wishes the day would end. And I hear each tear fall on her face as she talks of me to her friends. But there are few who truly understand. Oh this I've heard her proclaim. And I hear each tear fall on her face. Will my Mom ever be the same? I know that her smiles light up a sky. But I don't see that smile today. Oh, but I hear each tear fall on her face. Her blue skies have turned to gray. Oh I send to her my warmest hug with the rays of the morning sun. Then, I won't hear a tear fall on her face. For I shall erase them one by one. Yes, my Mom doesn't know I'm watching her. But I'm watching her just the same. And if I hear a tear fall on her face I'll just softly whisper her name! ~Author~ Kaye Des'Ormeaux Copyright 2001 If Tomorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in tighter and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say love you, instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well I'm sure you'll have so many more so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right. There will always be another day to say our," I love you's," And certainly there's another chance to say our. " Anything I can do's?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So always hold them dear. Take time to say I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, or It's okay. And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today. ~Unknown~ Midi selection: Endless Love
