I’m An Angel Now


One night I cried to Jesus as I sat beneath the tree.
I looked into the open sky and hoped He’d answer me.
I’m lost dear Savior, I’ve traveled far but still seem to roam.
Please light the way and lead me, Lord, I need to get back home.
I told him of my burdens and sadness in my heart that from His gracious love
I’d never felt so far apart.
Why did you take my grandson, Lord? I cannot understand!
No longer can I touch his face or hold his hand.
I’m angry Lord, I’m missing him, I’m drowning in my sorrow.
Please help to heal my yesterday and face each new tomorrow.
It was then I heard his gentle voice and felt his presence near.
How I wanted so to hold him as I cried another tear.
He said, "Gramma, I’m an angel now, my spirit is free.
I’m an angel now in heaven, so please don’t cry for me.
I was chosen by our Lord above and now I’m in his care.
When you need me, look inside your heart. I promise to be there".
I Love and miss you Jofus.
Forever and ever.
Rest in peace my grandson.

We think of you

We think of you in silence
And often speak your name,
But all that’s left to answer
Is your picture in a frame.
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that would come true,
We would pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and you!
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane,
We would walk our way to Heaven
To be with you again.

Memory

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done

You Can

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all he left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,
Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back and live yesterday.
Or you can be happy for tomorrow.
Because of yesterday you can remember him and only that he is gone.
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back.
Or you could do what he would want:
Smile, Open your eyes, Love and go on,
