SPECIAL POEMS WITH MEANING
I have found and would like to share with you.
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourselves to me with tears,
just be happy that we had some years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess,
how much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you both for the love you each have shown,
but now it's time I traveled on.
Do grieve awhile for me if you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part,
so keep our memories within your hearts.
I won't be far away, for life goes on,
so if you need me call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me I'll be near,
and if you listen with your heart you will hear.
All of my love around so soft and dear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say
Welcome Home
I'll lend you a little time
a Child of Mine, He said,
For you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
or 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 his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down here,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
in search of teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd Life's lane
I have decided you.
Now will you give him all your love
nor think the labor vain
And hate Me when I come to call
to take him back again?
I fancy that I heard them say
Dear Lord, Thy Will be done.
For all the joy 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've known
forever grateful stay.
And should the angels call for him
much sooner than we planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that came
and try to understand.
When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with,
The death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world,
Seem so wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
And He takes but a few,
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be Good-by.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realize God loves children
Angels are hard to find.
Mum & dad don't mourn for me I'm still here,
though you don't see I'm right by your side each night
and day
And within your heart I long to stay
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
I'll never wander out of your sight
I'm the brightest star on a summer night
I'll never be beyond your
reach
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach
I'm the colourful leaves when fall comes around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground
I'm
the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond
The clear cool water in a quiet pond
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in spring
The first warm raindrop that April will bring
I'm the
first ray of light when the sun starts to shine
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine
When you start thinking there's no one to love you
You can talk to me through the Lord above you
I'll
whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer
breeze
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you
sleep
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face
Just look for me, I'm everyplace...

Last night when I was trying to sleep
My friends voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and looked around
But she did not appear.
She said friend 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 all and miss you so
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die.
And so you must all go on now.
Live one day at a time.
Just understand God didn't take me
from you.
He only took my hand.
We go through life so often
not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted
as we travel on our way,
We never stop to measure
anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly,
You'll feel an ANGELS KISS!
A kiss thats sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above
A kiss thats very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
An ANGELS KISS will see you through
This KISS is very private.......
For its meant for only YOU!!
So when your hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no one can console you
Remember once again......
About the ones you grieve for
because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze you took for granted
was just.........
"AN ANGELS KISS"
I went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.
How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a baloon.
Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave.
You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me, Mom, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road, the
other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, the
other guy is drunk, Mom, and now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom. I wish you'd get here soon.
There is blood all around me, Mom, and most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time.
It was the others, Mom. The others didn't THINK.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, and I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying , all he can do is stare.
And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom, before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?

For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze. How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting, she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be. On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!" To be known in this school you had to have clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date. "Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right." Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride? Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine. Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint. They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I dont mean playing football).
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
"Please take me home, I dont want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast. As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town. "Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!" She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!" Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right
And if the people in the other car were alive. She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead. They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died." Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them." "Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there ~ she never agreed. But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?" She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been you.
