for you catherine with love xxx

By...Isla Paschal Richardson
Read by Gregory Peck at Frank Sinatra's funeral, 1998
To Those I Love If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love To go along the silent way. . . Grieve not.
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me As if I were beside you there.
(I'd come. . .I'd come, Could I but find a way! But would not tears and And grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song Or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let the thought of me Be sad. . .
for I am loving you Just as I always have. . . You were so good to me!
There are so many things I wanted still to do. . .
So many things I wanted to say to you. . .
Remember that I did not fear. . .
It was Just leaving you That was so hard to face.
We cannot see beyond. . . But this I know:
I loved you so. . . 'twas heaven here with you

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

A Bend In The Road

♥ღ♥ When we feel we have nothing left to give
and we are sure that the song has ended,
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
and the darkness of night has descended,
Where can we go to find the strength
to valiantly keep on trying?
Where can we find the hand that will dry
the tears that the heart is crying?

There's but one place to go and that is to God,
and dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint
and gain strength with Him at our side.
And together we stand at life's crossroads
and view what we think is the end.

But God has a much bigger vision,
and He tells us it's only a bend,
For the road goes on and is smoother,
and the pause in the song is a rest,
And the part that's unsung and unfinished
is the sweetest and richest and best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger
let go and let God share your load.
Your work is not finished or ended
you've just come to a bend in the road ♥ღ♥

my rock

my rock Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking, "When I phone,
I can talk of this or that!"
Then remember, I'm alone

you was always there
To answer my calls -
To listen to my "small talk"
Or when I climbed the walls.

At times, I didn't feel like talking
And somehow, you understood -
you Didn't say you wished I'd call
Or make me feel like I should.

Now, I wish I would have
More times, to show I cared -
To say, just how important
Were, all those times we shared.

I could have shown my love
So much more than I did -
I never, did it enough
Even when I was a kid.

Now it's too late to do or say
All those things I wish I had -
No way to ease the pain inside
When my heart is sad.

you was my "anchor" to this life -
The "rock", that I clung to -
The place, where I could turn
When, nowhere else would do.
Now, the ravages of time
Have worn my "rock" away -
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday.

I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY

I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
AND KNOW GOD MUST HAVE HEARD,
I FELT THE ANSWER IN MY HEART
ALTHOUGH HE SPOKE NO WORD.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR WEALTH OR FAME,
I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T MIND,
I ASKED HIM TO SEND TREASURES
OF A FAR MORE LASTING KIND.

I ASKED THAT HE WOULD BE NEAR YOU
AT THE START OF EACH NEW DAY,
TO GRANT YOU HEALTH AND BLESSINGS
AND FRIENDS TO SHARE YOUR WAY.

I ASKED FOR HAPPINESS FOR YOU
IN ALL THINGS GREAT AND SMALL,
BUT IT WAS FOR HIS LOVING CARE,
I PRAYED FOR MOST OF ALL.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Sent with love ♥
Why when your so special
Why when your so young
Everybody loved you,
And your life had just begun,

♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Why do we have trouble sleeping,
Have tears on our pillow case
Its because we long to see you
With that smile upon your face,

♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Why did you have to leave us,
Why did we have to part,
The worse day of our life that day,
And it really broke our heart.

♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

Thinking of you catherine and your family
