Another Chance

By: Alina

I'm here for them, I live for life

I'm feeling pain as I endure this strife

I try to cope only you are here to sit me down

and wipe away my tears

but what do I do when the one I need has left my side

because of their greed of lust or love

The one and only they pushed me away and left me, lonely

I have no one to listen to me, to wake me up, to let me see

that life is life without a friend

they're not always there with you till the end

they will leave you in your time of need just because of their filthy greed

all they see is a one way road down their path

switched on to their mode it's all about them

they'll forget about you never thinking of  it will happen to them too

and they will cry but the one they need was left out to dry

left by the very one that needs then now

they want to say sorry but they don't know how

they won't really mean it but the one that took her place had left her in the dust without a single trace except the footprints in her heart

that would stay there forever more 

she was feeling down and her heart was feeling sore but the ex-friend didn't care

why should I help her now?

She was left behind by HER the one that broke the vow, the vow that says they'll be there for each other no matter what

When their hearts are feeling blue if they get a bruise or have a cut but no, she violated that all,  she broke all the rules

She went against the friendship and now the ex-friend is on the stool, the stool of life as they often say

The one that kind of shows I am better then you in a way

I've been here all this time waiting just for you, even when you made me unhappy and got me feeling blue

Now I have to make a choice shall I go or shall I stay because within an instant I can turn and walk away but no, I won't do that 

I don't have a mean heart and you can't have another chance to give friendship a clean slate.

Angel's Do Not Come

By: Pattie Filion

The gentle words of tenderness

I hear from day to day

Can touch a soul so tenderly

And brighten their short stay.

If God would make them better....

I wouldn't ask for much,

I'd make the world a better place

With tons of angel dust.

If he would touch them in the night

And take the pain away

so they could live and laugh and love again

And make it one more day.

They are friends of mine you see

They help us while they can

They make us see the brightest side

And lead us by the hand.

They say that it will be ok

Don't worry I'm alright,

As angels come to call for them

In the silence of the night.

I think I'll hold them why I can

And say a prayer or two,

And hope they angels stay away

So they can do what they need to do.

I need them here with me right now

To listen to their words

But when its time to let them go

We will free them like the birds.

The ones that soar so high and proud

And seem like such free souls

But let us keep them here right now

And help them reach their goals

Keep yourself in flight....

Don't come knocking at their door

'Cause it's really not alright.

When the time has come for them

When the pain is way too much,

Only then will we call for you

For the perfect angel touch.

What Cancer Can't Do

Author Unknown

Cancer is so limited....

It cannot cripple love,

It cannot shatter hope,

It cannot corrode faith,

It cannot eat away peace,

It cannot kill friendship,

It cannot silence courage,

It cannot invade the soul,

It cannot destroy confidence,

It cannot shut out memories,

It cannot quench the spirit,

It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection.

Though the physical body may be destroyed by disease, the spirit can remain triumphant.  If disease has invaded has invaded your body, refuse to let it touch your spirit.  Your body can be severely afflicted, and you may have a struggle, But if you keep trusting God's love, your spirit will remain strong.

Why must I bear this pain?  I cannot tell;

I only know my lord does all things well.

And so I trust in God, my all in all.

For He will bring me through, what'er befall.

Our greatest enemy is not disease, but despair.

Don't Tell Me That You Understand

Author Unknown

Don't tell me that you understand,

Don't tell me that you know,

Don't tell me that I will survive,

How I will surely grow.

Don't tell me this is just a test,

That I am truly blessed.

That I am chosen for the tasks,

Apart from all the rest.

Don't come at me with answers

That can only come from me,

Don't tell me how my grief will pass,

That I will soon be free.

Don't stand in pious judgment

Of the bonds I must untie,

Don't tell me how to grieve,

Don't tell me when to cry.

My life is filled with selfishness,

My pain is all I see,

But I need you and your love....

Unconditionally.

Accept me in my ups and downs,

I need someone to share,

Just to hold my hand and let me cry,

And say, "My friend, I care."

Goodbye

By: Gwydion Pendderwen

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grand.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die.

My First Christmas In Heaven

Author Unknown

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below,

with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear,

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

for it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,

but I am not so far way.  We really aren't apart.  So be happy for me dear ones.  You know I hold you dear,

and be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.

I send you each a memory of, of my undying love.

After all "Love" is the gift, more precious than pure gold.

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,

for I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you.

So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.

Note: I don't know who the author of this poem is but when I read it I thought it was great, sad yes,  it was one of those that brought a tear to your eye.

Even Though We Never Met

By: S. Foster

Even though we never met,

I live everyday with a part of you.

He shines so bright,

like the stars on a clear night.

His laughter fills my heart with joy,

He is so tender and warm,

like a cool breeze on a sunny afternoon.

He is my light when it is dark,

He leads me when I feel lost.

When I see him,

I can't help but see you,

The lady who brought him into this world.

I hear of your grace and beauty,

by all who knew you.

I hear the sadness of how you were taken from them.

That the fight you were fighting with your illness could no longer be.

Even though we never met,

I live everyday with a part of you.

Look to this day,

For yesterday is but a dream,

And tomorrow is only a vision,

But today, well lived,

Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

To Those I Love

By: Isla Paschal Richardson

If I should ever leave you

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 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 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 love you so - `twas heaven here with you!
