BUTTERFLIES AND ANGELS
I saw a butterfly out my window today.
I watched as it fluttered by, which
made me smile.
It made me think that something so
beautiful has wings.
How amazing that butterflies fly so
peacefully and happy.
An angel touched me today and I felt
at peace.
Angels are always around and will
guide us to where we have to go.
We feel so much pain, but butterflies
and angels are painless and free.
A friend is someone that comes into
your life and touches in a-way that mere words can't describe.

OUR VERY SPECIAL ANGEL
Watching from a cloud so high
Seeing love from rose petals
And balloons that pass her by
She knows we truly love her
That we will always care
Our thoughts reach out to her
our hearts, our dreams to share

heaven

Hold fast to your memories,
to all of the cherished moments of
the past,
to the blessing and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrows and the tears.
They all add up to a treasure of fond
yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories in your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart,
today and
forever more.

The Stars
It shines so bright up in the heavenly night
sky
but I bet you can never guess why?
It's because my grandma went up there
when she said goodbye.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED IN LIFE?
I've learned that we don't have to
change friends if we understand that friends change.
I've learned that no matter how good
a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that you can do something
in a instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned that you should always
leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned that you can keep going
long after you can't.
I've learned that either you control
your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I've learned that money is a lousy
way of keeping score.
I've learned that my best friend
and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned that sometimes when I'm
angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me that right to be cruel.
I've learned that our background and
circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that two people
can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I've learned that your life can be
changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I've learned that even when you think
you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I've learned that credentials on the
wall do not make you a decent human being.
I've learned that the people you care
about the most in life are taken from you too soon.

In Memory of the
Columbia Space Shuttle
* 16 Minutes from Home
In 16 minutes we'd be home again,
in 16 minutes we'd be
on American soil,
in 16 minutes we'd be united with family,
in 16 minutes we'd be done with the toil.
In a moment
we knew we were in trouble,
in a moment we knew we were going away,
in a moment we knew we must say good-bye,
in
a moment we knew it was time to pray.
In a second we felt the the love of God,
in a second we felt the wind of His
wings,
in a second we felt the call to come home,
in a second we felt the joy He brings.
In an instant we were
set free,
in an instant we were granted release,
in an instant we were in God's arms,
in an instant we were at perfect
peace.
In
Memory of the Seven,

A Wish for You
I wish for you.....
Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbow to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips
Sunsets to warm your hearts,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.
And if you can't have all of that.....
Then I wish you enough chocolate to
make
it through the tough times.

Once upon a time there was a child
ready to be born. So one day he asked God:
"They tell me you are sending me to
earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless? "
"Among the many angels,
I will chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
But tell me, here in Heaven,
I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy. "Your angel will sing for
you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?
"Your angel will tell
you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how
to speak."
And what am I going to do when I want
to talk to you?
"Your angel will place
your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
I've heard that on earth there are
bad men. Who will protect me?
"Your angel will defend
you even if it means risking its life."
But I will always be sad because I
will not see you anymore.
"Your angel will always
talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace
in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly, "Oh God, if I am about
to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"Your angel's name
is of no importance, you will call your angel, Mommy."
