As i float along the milky way
I arrive at heavens door
And to my suprise theres people
And faces ive seen before

I feel happy and elated
A golden gate opened for me
As i step inside this place
Im amazed by what i see

Theres trees lined with gold
There flowers that never die
And teardrop dont exist
Im so happy, but i cant cry

Theres harps playing softly
And friends that i once knew
Hold out their hand to greet me
In the this land of sky blue

Theres a smell of the flowers
Its like nothing ive smelled before
Theres gold dust about my feet
And a welcome on my garden door

Yes i like this place called heaven
Even though i will miss you so
But i will visit you often
Even though you wont know

And as i thank my father beside me
For opening his golden gates
They toast a wine to greet me
The lord and my new found mates

Garden of Eden

Over some exotic rainbow
Through forest wild and free
Live my darling Angel
Beside's some coconut tree.

The beaches are sands of gold
With palm trees lined around
There my darling Angel
Dwells safe and sound.

The sun always shines
It survives just by love
In this garden of Eden
My true love dwells above.

..Precious Memories
ჱ............ჱܓ ..........ჱ

Memories last forever
They are ours to keep
Sometimes they make us happy
Sometimes they make us weep

ჱ............ჱܓ ..........ჱ

Keep hold of precious memories
Each one is full of love
Our Angels made those memories
Sadly now in Heaven above

ჱ............ჱܓ ..........ჱ

Our Angels had to leave us
And left a void in you and me
But they will live forever
In every precious memory

A New Path
by Nick Alcantara

All I wanted
Was to spend more time
With you
But what I got
Was only a precious few

At least I tried
To make the most
Of what was left
Plans diverted
Too many hurdles
Never made it
To desired stage

Sorry, not much choice
Although it hurts
Life must go on now

Even without you
I must continue
The life that never was
And forged ahead
A new path
Guided by your
Eternal light
And undoubting love
Forever you are always in our hearts.

GONETOOSOON

I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHATS REAL OR A LIE
OR WHY YOU WENT AWAY AND YOU HAD TO DIE
I WILL TREASURE YOUR MEMORY EACH AND EVERYDAY
FOR IN MY HEART YOU WILL ALWAYS STAY
EACH DAY I REMEMBER YOU WITH A HEAVY HEART
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAD TO PART
LOVE THAT WAS MEANT TO LAST FOREVER
ONLY GOONTOOSOON CAN OUR ANGELS BE TOGETHER
SO WE CAN REMEMBER YOU IN OUR OWN WAY
ALSO LIGHT YOUR CANDLES TO SHINE BRIGHT EACH DAY
SO MY SWEET ANGEL REST IN HEAVEN TOO
WHILE ON GONETOOSOON WE CAN REMEMBER YOU.......

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU.........

I KNOW THE LORD DID NOT WANT YOU TO SUFFER ANYMORE
SO FOR YOU THE GATES OF HEAVEN WERE OPENED ONCE MORE
WHILE EACH AND EVERY ANGEL SANG AMAZING GRACE
HE HELD YOUR HAND AND TOOK YOU INTO HIS WARM EMBRACE

FOR NOW YOU REST WITH ALL THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE
IN GODS GARDEN IN HEAVEN SO FAR UP ABOVE
ONE DAY WE WILL ALL JOIN YOU THERE AT PEACE
ONLY THEN WILL OUR NEVER ENDING PAIN CEASE

FOR YOU ARE SO MISSED AND LOVE BY MANY WHO CARE
WE TURN AROUND AND STILL EXPECT TO SEE YOU STANDING THERE
ALTHOUGH WE KNOW YOU WATCH US ALL THE WAY YOU USED TO DO
ALWAY REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH WE LOVE AND MISS YOU.....
