When our spirits are low,
And worry overcomes,
Our guardian angels remind us,
We are never all alone.

Sent from heaven to guide,
And help us find our way,
There loving blessings bring,

Together forever,
our whole lives through,
Every single day,
We think about you.

Your in our heart,
and in our prayer,
We knew one day,
We would have to share.

When God took your hand,
And broke our chain,
We will always know,
That we'll meet again.

God Bless you and all the other Angels that are up in heaven, Resting in Peace

My wings are spread, my pain is gone-Do grieve for me-but not for long.
For wondrous peace surrounds my flight-I’m gliding towards that ray of light.
So grieve for me but not for long-Remember blessings not the wrong.
My life was full and so complete-Although the end was bittersweet.
You brightened up my everyday…By things you’d do, by things you’d say.
I’ll miss my life with you on Earth, but know you gave my life it’s worth.
I’m gliding towards a perfect place-No pain or sorrow, only grace.
My wings are spread, I’m soaring strong…Do grieve for me, but not for long.

SLEEP TIGHT SWEET ANGEL

Irene May 31, 2009

PERHAPS YOU ARN'T READY YET
TO HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE
PERHAPS YOU'VE THOUGHT OF THINGS
YOU WISH YOU'D SAID... WELL, SO HAVE I.
NOT TO WORRY ABOUT ME.
I'M WITH THE LORD IN HEAVEN NOW.
YOU KNEW THAT'S WHERE I'D BE
I'M SORRY THAT YOU'RE FEELING SAD.
FOR I'M HAPPY NOW.
I'VE ASKED THE LORD TO EASE THE HURT
AND CONFORT YOU SOMEHOW
IT'S HARD AT THE BEGINNING
BUT I KNOW YOU'LL MAKE IT THROUGH.
I HOPE IT HELPS TO KNOW
THAT I'LL BE WAITING HERE FOR YOU.
