A Shadow...❦

What lack the valleys and mountains
That once were green and gay?
What lack the babbling fountains?
Their voice is sad to-day.
Only the sound of a voice,
Tender and sweet and low,
That made the earth rejoice,
A year ago!
❦
What lack the tender flowers?
A shadow is on the sun:
What lack the merry hours,
That I long that they were done?
Only two smiling eyes,
That told of joy and mirth:
They are shining in the skies,
I mourn on earth!
❦
What lacks my heart, that makes it
So weary and full of pain,
That trembling Hope forsakes it,
Never to come again?
Only another heart,
Tender and all mine own,
In the still grave it lies;
I weep alone!

♥
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.

Metamorphosis

I watched a butterfly dry his wings
On a sun warmed blade of grass.
A dry cocoon fell to the ground.
The need for it was past.
Not long ago a squirmy worm
Had wriggled up this way,
But now this flying flower
Had brightened up my day.
The caterpillar wasn't gone,
But changed, so he could fly.
He left his former way of life
Without a tear or sigh.
I wonder if the caterpillars
That he left behind
Wonder what became of him
Or knew what he would find?
Did they try to hold on to him?
Do they miss him? Do they mourn?
Do they know he isn't gone,
But that he has been reborn?
It can be hard to say good-bye.
It can hurt to let go.
But, sometimes, that's the only way
Those lovely wings can grow.

An Angel's Kiss

Your breath is the song that the morning sings,
Chirping birds, fluttering angel wings,
Daylight dances on the air;
Leaves rustle unaware.

Quietly, thoughts of you wander through my mind,
A gentle breeze on my face I find;
As if a kiss delivered to me
By the angels I know are there, but cannot see.

Just like the love that will never end,
I long to call this sorrow my friend.

By Tracy

☜♡☞ In Heaven's Light ☜♡☞

Graced amid an angel's wing
to reach the stars and
catch the sky,
I place my prayers and greatest dreams
now blessed, in Heaven's Light.

☜♡☞ Memories Road ☜♡☞

Now should we care to wander
Back down memories road
Just slowly walk and ponder
The past through which we strode
There we’ll find it’s mottle hued
In patches light and dark
There we’ll see our past reviewed
Clearly etched and stark
Back there we’ll find some pleasant spots
And others thick with shade
Back there we’ll know our gain or loss
Then watch the past parade
So look behind you now and then
And shape your future so
That when the past you view again
There’s only sunshine glow.

Today Is My Birthday

Today is my birthday
Celebrate my life with you
And remember the good times
Forget the bad.
Look up towards the sun
And catch every ray of light
Upon your cheek.
For I am there with you.

Today is my birthday,
Be happy for me.
My life was full.
I had the pleasure of love
And the joy of my family.
Do not be sad
Look up towards the stars
And catch each twinkle
In your heart.
For I am there with you

Today is my birthday
My legacy is not wealth
Or mighty belongings,
My legacy is you and your life.
Spend it wisely and carefully,
Guard it always.
Do not be sad.
Feel the wind on your face
And in your hair
And know that I loved you
For I am there with you in your laughter
And in your hearts.

Today is my birthday,
Learn to live again without me.
Take my strength with you
For you are not alone.
Do not be sad
Feel the rain on your face
Feel all life's treasures and
Know that you are alive!
At each step of the way
I will help you
For I am with you always
Until we meet again.
Today is my birthday...

♥ I Miss You ♥

Another year without you
Tears flow – within this broken heart of mine
I am never complete
A shadow of my former self
You went to the Garden of Paradise this day, that year
I should be happy for you, but I wish you were here so much
And all I can do is cry.

To the land of long ago,
Memory paints the scenes of old,
In the gold of twilight glow.
It is easy to see in the dim light,
Faces we loved the best,
And to think of them when sun's ray,
Goes down in the far off west. ...♥

X My Angel X

My Angel

Just to hear your voice again

Just to feel the warmth when we embrace

To see the smile on your face

To see your eye Light up once more!

That is all i want

Now and Forevermore.

xxx Before i die xxx

I want your laugh again to light up the room

I want your hand to touch mine

Just like it used to

I want so many things

That i can still see so well in my mind

But the things i want all lead back to one thing...

You streching far and wide

Across my mind

Everything about you i miss so much

I would give everything i own for just another hour of your love

However this cannot be...

So i will take the long road

Waiting a while... Getting back on to the horse in style

Counting the time until again you are mine

When that time comes life will be Sublime

X God Bless All Angel's Including Mine X

۞ Immortality ۞

Arise from behind your shadowy cloaks,
Sinuous branches of olden oaks,
Reveal thy life and thy glory;
Your luminescence of immortality.
Forever have you shown yourself
Upon this earth where mortals dwell,
To remind us we live for eternity,
If not on earth then heavenly.
With lenity and grace you comfort,
When from our loved ones we must part.
You give us all the strength to bear
The formidable burdens of our despair.
And a lessening of our sorrow,
As we live, love and delight... beyond tomorrow.

•:*:••:*:••:*: Love To You Always •:*:••:*:••:*:


Gone, But Not Forgotten - Marilyn Ferguson

Gone, but not forgotten
This pain, I cannot hide
In memory, I see you
A million tears, I've cried.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

The tender thoughts you left me
Come to my memory
Your loving smile, so precious
Will always be with me

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•.

You visit me in summer
When flowers are in bloom
Upon a ray of sunshine
A star-lit night in June.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

When winds are gently blowing
Across a cloudless sky
Within a rolling meadow
Where horse and cattle lie.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

I see you in the treetops
As summer comes to be
In shadows, you do linger
A soul so young and free.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

I see you in the garden
Your scent does fill the air
Just like a precious flower
A rose, so ever fair.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

On country roads, I find you
Along the wooded lane
Within the distant thunder
I see you in the rain.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

In early hush of morning
You come without a sound
Upon a blazing sunset
Your memory can be found.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

Like sprigs of morning glory
Upon the vine, they grow
With branches reaching outward
Into my heart, you go.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

Just like a special angel
God wrapped you in His care
And took you off to heaven
To live with Him, up there.

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•

But often, I still see you
Upon a light blue sky
And long so much to hold you
Why did you have to die?

•:*:• •:*:• •:*:• •:*:••:*:••:*: ••: *:•
