In Memoriam
Doors, where my heart was used to beat
So quickly, not as one that weeps
I come once more; the city sleeps;
I smell the meadow in the street;
I hear a chirp of birds; I see
Betwixt the black fronts long-withdrawn
A light-blue lane of early dawn,
And think of early days and thee,
And bless thee, for thy lips are bland,
And bright the friendship of thine eye;
And in my thoughts with scarce a sigh
I take the pressure of thine hand.
. . . . .
Love is and was my Lord and King,
And in his presence I attend
To hear the tidings of my friend,
Which every hour his couriers bring.
Love is and was my King and Lord,
And will be, tho' as yet I keep
Within his court on earth, and sleep
Encompass'd by his faithful guard,
And hear at times a sentinel
Who moves about from place to place,
And whispers to the worlds of space,
In the deep night, that all is well.
. . . . . .
Dear friend, far off, my lost desire,
So far, so near in woe and weal;
O loved the most, when most I feel
There is a lower and a higher;
Known and unknown; human, divine;
Sweet human hand and lips and eye;
Dear heavenly friend that canst not die,
Mine, mine, for ever, ever mine;
Strange friend, past, present, and to be;
Loved deeplier, darklier understood;
Behold, I dream a dream of good,
And mingle all the world with thee.
Thy voice is on the rolling air;
I hear thee where the waters run;
Thou standest in the rising sun,
And in the setting thou art fair.
What art thou then? I cannot guess;
But tho' I seem in star and flower
To feel thee some diffusive power,
I do not therefore love thee less:
My love involves the love before;
My love is vaster passion now;
Tho' mix'd with God and Nature thou,
I seem to love thee more and more.
Far off thou art, but ever nigh;
I have thee still, and I rejoice;
I prosper, circled with thy voice;
I shall not lose thee tho' I die.
O living will that shalt endure
When all that seems shall suffer shock,
Rise in the spiritual rock,
Flow thro' our deeds and make them pure,
That we may lift from out of dust
A voice as unto him that hears,
A cry above the conquer'd years
To one that with us works, and trust,
With faith that comes of self-control,
The truths that never can be proved
Until we close with all we loved,
And all we flow from, soul in soul.
Alfred Tennyson
To My Dearest Family:
Some things I'd like to say
but first of all to let you know
that I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven
where I dwell with God above
where there's no more tears
or sadness there
is just eternal love
Please do'ot be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight
remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you
when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said "I welcome you. . .
. . .It's good to have you back again
you were missed while you were gone
as for your dearest family
they'll be here later on. . .
. . .I need you here so badly
as part of My big plan
there's so much that we have to do
to help our mortal man."
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do
and foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you
every day and week and year
and when you're sad
I'm standing there
to wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night
the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you
in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on Earth
and all those loving years
because you're only human
they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry
it does relieve the pain
remember there would be no flowers
unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you
of all that God has planned
but if I were to tell you
you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain
though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before
And to my very many friends
trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb
but together we can do it
taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the World
so the World will give to you
If you can help somebody
who is in sorrow or in pain
then you can say to God at night
my day was not in vain
And now I am contented
that my life it was worthwhile
knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody
who is down and feeling low
just lend a hand to pick him up
as on your way you go
When you are walking
down the street
and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free
remember you're not going
you are coming here to me
And I will always love you
from that land way up above
Will be in touch again soon
P.S. God sends His Love
God's Will
Not by choice but by God's Will
We've been left with memories that will only fill
A part of us that's left behind
Like dust in the wind and soon to find
That although we have faith, the day has come
That this dream is real and we're no longer numb
The presence of what I know in my heart
Will keep us together, never to part
Your smile has graced us to no end
A time for all of us to begin
Laughing, loving, caring for each
We no longer search, it's within our reach
You have blessed us all with something we lack
We will learn from you and always look back
God's Will has left us with a part of you
That will grace each day with a morning dew
To wake up to butterflies fluttering about
And the knowledge that we are not without
Your smile, your laughter, your love, your appeal
This, my dear, must be God'sWill.
At times when I am feeling sad
and think that no one cares,
I feel the vibrations of your wings
and know that you are here.
I then feel your tender touch
as you enfold me with His Love.
A yearning prayer has come to earth,
sent down from Father above.
I can never deny your presence.
You fill my heart with song.
All sad thoughts simply disappear,
knowing that I am not alone.
You loan me strength when I give out.
And you raise my courage up.
I can face my troubles head-on
Mortal thanks is not enough.
I will live each day I have
in humbleness and in prayer.
With heartfelt words I'll write
and with all others, share.
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die,
I will be with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby’s touch.
You will hear me, if you listen,
In the twilights gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you’re alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now, my home.
I will always be with you,
I will never go away,
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day.
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, dear, dear Tania; rest in peace in God's Paradise garden, safe in the knowledge that a time will come when you will share that garden with all your family and freinds who miss you so dearly today, your birthday. xx
To those who are left behind I hope a wise man's words can give you some hope and comfort.
"God does not prevent suffering, but even suffering can be endured more easily when we know that we are not alone. But God works in and through our suffering; the suffering involved in empathy with others contributes to the richness and depth of our lives, giving our lives a positive direction.
There is much that is truly evil in this world, countering God’s purpose. But because of God, much even that is truly evil can also be transformed in a way that wrings from it some good. As we face the onslaught of so much that is truly evil, we must do all we can to find ways to wring from evil such good as it allows. God makes that possible."
We all have a duty to make sure evil never wins.
A song for you in Paradise, Tania, and for all those who mourn you and miss you on the third anniversary of your being taken from us:
Her poor heart was heavy,
Her poor heart was stone.
Then she heard them - they were angels,
and they were singing: 'you're not alone.'
'There is a peace
you've never known.'
She could hear trumpets,
She could hear them blow.
Then the angels summoned chariots,
the angels told them
'swing, swing low'
Sweet gospel music
carry this girl, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
carry this girl, towards the light
Sweet gospel music
carry this girl, away from danger
Sweet gospel music
carry her home tonight.
