Adrift
Tessa Wilkinson
My anchor has lost its hold
I am adrift
My boat is going where it will
The sails are tattered and torn
The sea seems enormous and uncharted
It throws me hither and thither
Into the deepest, darkest trough of despair
Then up into the sunlight and for a while there is hope
Then back again into the darkness
Will my little craft be overwhelmed?
As the huge waves of grief engulf it, will it come up again?
And again and again?
They say 'time heals…'
Can my little boat be trimmed out with new sails?
Can it sail again into a calm harbour and put down its anchor?
Can the navigation system be mended, so I know where I am going?
In time, in time…
but not yet.
This storm has to be passed through, and then a time will come to re-enter the harbour and return to still waters.

Message from Heaven
by Helen Mack
Speak not of Death for there is no such thing,
there is merely a parting of the ways.
I will go on a little while
and wait for you to count the sum of all your days.
And when you come
I will be waiting with shining eyes and silken well groomed fur.
You'll take me in your arms just as you used to do
and angel choirs will be drowned out by purrs.
⋱♰⋰ Still Here ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Today I knew you were lonely,
I was watching while you cried;
I wanted to reach out and touch you,
Let you know I was by your side ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ It hurts me to see you grieving,
For I know you can't understand.
If only just for one moment,
You could feel the touch of my hand ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰Beyond the veil that divides us
I'm only a heartbeat away;
Though my life on earth is over
I am walking beside you each day ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ As the sun rises in the morning,
I can still share the beauty with you,
Here in my heavenly home,
I see from a different view ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I hear your sighs in the evening
When a myriad of stars are aglow;
I sense that you are remembering,
The love that we shared long ago ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Tonight when sleep beckons you
In dreams you'll sense me draw near.
When the sun rises in the morning,
Remember my love I'm still here ⋱♰⋰

♥ My Gentle Soul ♥
by Sue Scheck
The time has come to close your eyes,
My sweet-faced little friend;
As angels gently lift you up,
Your journeys at its end.
You made us laugh,
You made us cry, as sickness took its toll,
Now it's time to rest in peace;
Good-night, my gentle soul.
✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞
Remembering
Go ahead and mention my loved one,
The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending they didn't exist,
I'd rather you mention my loved one
Knowing that they have been missed.
You asked me how I was doing
I say "pretty good" or "fine"
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.

xxx A positive start to the New Year xxx
Beginning Today
Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.
Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
Waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow
Without first making the most of today.
Beginning today I will look in the mirror and
I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me is
Someone I enjoy spending time with and
Someone I would like to get to know better.
Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and
I will unselfishly share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten path
And to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be,
Which hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement.
Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,
My desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before,
I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future.
Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences, I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else;
Perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
But, I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.
Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness
And I will do things that make me happy . . .
Admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music,
Pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath.
Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
Beginning today I will learn something new;
I will try something different;
I will savour all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
Beginning today . . .
And every day for the rest of my life . . .

HOW I AM RIGHT NOW
Author unknown
I know that you miss me, at times you are sad.
You think you should have done more as a Mom or a Dad.
But I've something to tell you, so you won't feel so bad.
You gave me the best life I could ever have had.
Now that I'm in heaven, I don't feel the pain.
It's always warm and sunny here, never any rain.
I just have to thank you, that the memories are glad.
For you gave me the best life I could ever have had.
The times that were painful are just lessons learned.
I've forgotten the sad times, with the freedom I've earned.
Just know in your heart, with faith iron-clad...
That you gave me the best life I could ever have had.

Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidled i' the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne.
Go To Sleep
(Written by Corey Damerell, August 16, 2004)
Go to sleep, close your eyes.
The time has come, for our good byes.
You’ve been a faithful, and loving friend.
But your time on earth, has come to an end.
In my heart, you can’t be replaced.
My memories of you, cannot be erased.
Don’t be afraid, you wont be alone.
You’ll be greeted, by all the pets I’ve known.
Share stories of the time, I spent with you.
Say I still love, and miss them too.
When God decides, the time is right.
Well be together, in heavens light.
Until then, I'll have to wait.
But one day I'll find you, at St. Peters gate.

Can't Breathe For The First Time
by Jennifer Babcock 2004
I watched you walk out that door,
I didn't know that it would be the last time
The heat of the summer is gone,
and the chill of the winter is here
Every breath I take, and every tear I make
Turns to ice as it hits the ground...
I can't breathe for the first time
Everytime I close my eyes, I see your face.
Reminds me that I am alone in this place
Your memory still so deep in my mind,
Makes sanity so hard to find.
Weird how you can watch something change,
and it all seems so fast,
What happened today has already changed into the past.
Photographs of you hanging on the walls,
Everything I can remember ended so fast,
All I have left are my memories....
I can't breathe for the first time.
Everytime I close my eyes, I see your face.
Reminds me that I am alone in this place.
Your memory still so deep in my mind,
Makes sanity so hard to find.
