As a butterfly flutters across the sky...
I wonder is that you.
As I see my shadow separate into two...I wonder is that you
As a rainbow arches it's back against the heavens...I wonder is that you
As I watch the summer sun settle to it's slumber...I wonder is that you??

is to take the love out of life!!

their hearts forever!

I have not turned my back on you...there is no need to cry
I'm watching you from Heaven ...just beyond the morning sky
I've seen you almost fall apart...when you could barely stand
I asked the Lord to comfort you...I watched him take your hand
He told me you are in more pain then I could ever be
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard then gave your hand to me
Although you may not feel my touch or see me by your side...
I've whispered that I love you while I wiped each tear you cried
So please try not to ache for me...we'll meet again one day
Beyond the darkand stormy sky...A rainbow lights the way.

Don't think of Frank as gone away...his journey has just begun
life holds so many facets...this earth is only one
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort...where there are no days and years
Think of how he must be wishing that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness can really pass away
And think of Frank as living in the hearts of those he has touched
for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much!!!

I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine God said.
For you to love while he is here and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years or maybe twenty two or three
but will you till I call him back take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have the memories to comfort you through your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay since all from earth return
but there are lessons there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true
In the crowds of the land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love not think the labor vain
nor hate me when I come to take him back again.
It seems to me that we did say "Dear Lord thy will be done"
For all the joys this child will bring-the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may and for the happiness we know forever grateful we'll stay.
And should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned, we'll try to understand.
In loving memory of Frank "Dude" 8/4/74-12/16/01
Taken much sooner than expected.
Roses are red...violets are blue
Dude is my uncle...and I love you!!!
My body is gone but I'm always near
I'm everything you feel, see or hear
My spirit is free but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
If we could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true
we'd pray to God with all our hearts for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back
we know because we've tried.
Neither will a thousand tears
we know because we've cried.
You left behind our broken hearts
and happy memories too
but we never wanted memories
We only wanted you!!!

God looked around his garden and found an empty place
he then looked at Frank's beautiful but tired face
He put his arms around him and lifted him to rest
God's garden must be beautiful--he only takes the best!
He knew Frank was suffering
he knew he was in pain
He knew he would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb
So he chose to close Frank's eyelids and whispered "Peace be Thine"
It broke my heart to lose him, my buddy
but he didn't go alone--
For a part of me went with him--the day God called him home!!
This is a story not really a poem but I felt it was so true
and I wanted to share it with all who enter this website.
Please read it carefully and think about it.--Eileen
A young man was at the end of his rope--seeing no way out, he dropped
to his knees to pray-- "Lord I can't go on he said I have too heavy a cross
to bear". The Lord replied" My son if you can't bear it's weight, just
place your cross inside this room then open that other door and pick out
any cross you wish". The man was filled with relief--"thank you Lord" he
replies and he did as he was told. Upon entering the other room, he saw
many crosses, some so large that the tops were not even visible. Then he
spotted a tiny cross leaning against the wall. "I'd like that one Lord" he
whispered. The Lord replied "My son that is the cross you just brought in".
I feel this is a very powerful story. We need to always remember that while
we may feel like we have it bad, someone else is struggling even harder.
Don't cry for me Daddy...I'm right here
Although you can't see me...I see your tears
I visit you often...I go to work with you each day
And when it's time to close your eyes...on your pillow is where I lay
I hold your handand stroke your hair
and whisper in your ear
If you're sad today Daddy...remember I am here
God took me home this we know is true
But you'll always be my Daddy
even though I am not with you
I am Daddy's boy...we will never be apart
For everytime you think of me...please know I'm in your heart!

Last night while I was trying to sleep...my son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around...but he did not appear
He said Mama you've got to listen...you've got to understand
God didn't take me from you...He only took my hand
When I called out in pain that night...the instant that I died
He reached down and took my hand...and pulled me to his side
He pulled me up and saved me...from the misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly...inside I could never be the same
My search is really over now...I've found happiness within
All the answers to my empty dreams...and all that might have been
I love you so and miss you so...and I'll always be near by
My body's gone forever...but my spirit will never die
And so you must go on...live one day at a time
Just understand...God did not take me from you
He only took my hand!---Unknown
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share in your day
I would have said I love you in each and everyway.
Our joys will be greater..our love will be deeper..our lives will be fuller...
because we shared his life!
To those who dream...there is no such place as far away.
Although I am in Heaven remember...that for every smile you make,
I will be smiling with you.
For every tear that you cry...I will be crying with you
For every dream you have to reach...I will be there to help you reach it.
I wrote your name in the sand...but the waves washed it away
I wrote your name in the sky...but the wind blew it away
I wrote your name in my heart...and forever it will stay
