The tears streamed down and I let them flow as freely as they would,
making of them a pillow for my heart...♥ On them it rested.

ღ Signs ღ
(By Jamie Van Der Meer)

My angel sends a butterfly,
To land upon my arm.
They send me signs to let me know,
They’re safe & loved & warm.

My angel sends me rainbows
On a cloudy day.
I understand that they are near,
And things will be okay.

Today they sent me snowflakes,
From a sunny sky above.
I could feel their presence,
And the power of their love.

My angel sends me little signs
In the moon and skies
The signs are subtle, yet I know,
They're meant just for my eyes.

I look for all these little signs,
To comfort me each day.
The signs can even make me laugh,
My angel loves to play!

These signs are The Creator's things,
And you might think it's odd,
To believe my angel sends these signs,
They do...they’re one with God.

ღ Pax ღ
(By D.H. Lawrence)

All that matters is to be at one with the living God
To be a creature in the house of the God of Life.

Like a cat asleep on a chair
at peace, in peace
and at one with the master of the house,
with the mistress at home,
at home in the house of the living,
sleeping on the hearth, and yawning before the fire.

Sleeping on the hearth of the living world,
yawning at home before the fire of life
feeling the presence of the living God
like a great reassurance
a deep calm in the heart
a presence
as of a master sitting at the board
in his own and greater being,
in the house of life.

•♥• Midnight Veil •♥•

I stand beside you and see you weep
And I feel the love we will always keep
But you don't see me standing here
But we promised to stay always near.
…♥
I may have walked ahead, round the bend
But please believe that this isn't the end
For love such as ours can never fade away
But grow ever stronger forever and one day.
…♥
And you weep for what seems the end of our tale
As I stand here behind a thin Midnight Veil
You weep for I am gone to a place you cannot see
As you gaze upon a point where nothing seems to be.
…♥
But I will never leave you, our love is far too true
I guard your path every step with my love for you
And though you cannot see me I watch your every day
Though you cannot hear me I hear every word you say.
…♥
And when at last we're together again
At the Bridge that is at the Rainbow's end
Then our hearts rejoice as each other we see
And we start our journey through eternity.

Up through the clouds this courier flew bringing thoughts of love from me to you.
Hoping it reached to heavens gate, delivered by angels with love and grace.

Search For Peace

With the morn's first ray of sun
It's time to fly - my little one
You may hear the ones who cry
This time don't stop to ponder why
I see you now up in the sky
Your trail of clouds as you fly high
Your wings are colored with every hue
Feathers spread wide show iridescent blue
Search for peace and search for love
Keep flying high my little dove.

With style and grace upwards you soar
While here we question could we do more?
Look back to earth - it's a tiny ball
You must find the winds of love and peace
For only then will our heart-ache cease.

Why remember?
Because remembering honours.
Remembering heals.
Remembering forgives.
Remembering creates appreciation and gratitude –
two of the most wondrous salves for your sorrows.
People sometimes think that they will feel better by denying their grief
and refusing to remember what has caused it.
In some cases and at certain times, that may be true.
As your life continues to demand that you support yourself,
care for others, and be out and about in the world,
you may need to place your memories on hold.
But grief is like a bill collector:
You can delay facing it, but if you do so for too long,
it will come to meet you at your front door.
Grief will have its day, whether you consciously allow it to or not.
So it is in your best interest to heal the wounds of grief with remembrance.
Refusing to remember can cause bitterness, pain, and anger to appear to fade away.
But buried grief lies in wait and pounces unexpectedly.
Buried grief casts an invisible veil of sadness over every future relationship.
It whispers that to love means to suffer.
It convinces you that life offers nothing but despair.
The dammed-up river of unresolved grief
makes it easier for each subsequent loss
to burst through your defences.
With organic grieving, you will not bury your grief.
Instead, you will allow the rhythms of your emotions to ebb and flow naturally.
By giving yourself the gift of remembering,
grief will seep back into and enrich the soil of your life
instead of creating poisonous wells of unresolved sadness inside you.

Waves of Sorrow

When the waves of Sorrow lap at your feet,
And they work up to your heart.
Silver hued tears run down your cheeks,
And naught but sadness does impart.

Think of this place called Rainbow’s Bridge,
And the wondrous glory there.
A silent shadow looks down from a ridge,
And stands on edge your hair.

What is this wondrous graceful sound I hear,
That whispers to me on the breeze?
It is a sound that whispers peace,
And fills my heart with ease.

Is this my love that comes to me,
And whispers on the breeze?
It seems to say feel not guilt,
Listen to my whispers please.

Daddy, Mommy, I Love You,
Forever and one day.
In your heart feel not blue,
Just listen to what I say.

I speak to you with sounds of love,
From high upon this ridge.
I wait for you to come above,
I’m happy at Rainbow Bridge.

☀ AFTERGLOW ☀
(By Genesis. Songwriter: Tony Banks)

Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
☀
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.
☀
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.
☀
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chattered all the way,
but left me none the wiser
for all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne'er a word said she;
But oh! The things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me.

THE STORY OF THE DOG

When the earth was newly wrought, God made a wondrous creature.
He gave its form most careful thought and studied every feature.
He made it with a graceful tail with several rates of motion.
So every wag could, without fail, register emotion.
He made it with a varied bark that produces several tones.
To frighten goblins in the dark or murmur over bones.
He made a moistened nose that probes in every niche,
For soothing children, Heaven knows, it has a tongue that licks.
He made it with such soulful eyes of deepest golden brown,
That no man, neither fool nor wise, could turn its wishes down.
He made it with a coat of hair that covers every bit
But made it soft beyond compare for when children play with it.
He made it loyal, strong and smart, to serve as best it can,
So it could always do a part as the ears and eyes of Man.
He made it minus gear or cog, of His most precious blend,
And so with love, God made the dog to be a man's best friend.
