Albert Gascoigne

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.

To See You Once Again
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥




I wish with all my heart I could see you once more,
I would use that moment and time to tell you how
Much love my heart holds for you and I shall never
Close that door.

Life each and every day with out you keeps going on
Even if some days I do not wish it I know I am being
Selfish and maybe even wrong, but to see you just once
More I so very much long.

I try to remember all the loving and happy times we
Were granted to enjoy and share, I try to understand
And not cry but to see you once more even only for a
moment to let you know just how very much I do care.

I know that day will eventually come when its my turn
To this world to say goodbye, But until then I shall hold
your love close to my heart, and sometimes I shall break
Down and cry, and I will still ask the question why did you
have to die? ♥

FOR LINDA AND PAULINE XXXX

If I could have my wishes,
If wishes did come true;
I would wish for happiness,
And a long full life for you.

I would wish for laughter,
And fill your life with song;
Then ask for peace and joy and love,
To follow you all day long.

Then I would ask for peaceful rest,
To visit you at night;
And that your every morning,
Dawn shimmering and bright.

I would ask for nothing,
To give back to myself;
As long as you are happy,
I want for nothing else.

For just to see contentment,
On your face and know you're fine;
Would truly satisfy me,
And bring joy to this heart of mine.

If I could have my wishes,
If wishes did come true;
I'd wish for the sun and the moon and the stars,
And I'd give them all to you.

IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW


IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW, I WOULD DO IT JUST FOR YOU

AND SHARE WITH YOU ITS BEAUTY, ON THE DAYS YOU'RE FEELING BLUE

IF I COULD BUILD A MOUNTAIN, YOU COULD CALL YOUR VERY OWN

A PLACE TO FIND SERENITY; A PLACE TO BE ALONE.......

IF I COULD TAKE YOUR TROUBLES , I WOULD TOSS THEM IN THE SEA

BUT ALL THESE THINGS I'M FINDING, ARE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME

I CANNOT BUILD A MOUNTAIN, OR CATCH A RAINBOW FAIR

BUT LET ME BE WHAT I KNOW BEST ....A FRIEND THAT'S ALWAYS THERE..

SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven dear ones,
Oh! so happy and so bright,
There is perfect joy and beauty,
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed,
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly,
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined,
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came himself to meet me,
In that way so hard to tread,
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread.

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust Our Father's will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand,
Do it now while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When the work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home,
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come.

a letter from heaven xxxxxx

TO MY DEAREST FAMILY,SOME THINGS I'D LIKE TO SAY......
BUT FIRST OF ALL,TO LET YOU KNOW,THAT I ARRIVED TODAY.
I'M WRITING THIS FROM HEAVEN.HERE I DWELL WITH GOD ABOVE.
HERE,THERE'S NO MORE TEARS OF SADNESS;HERE IS JUST ETERNAL LOVE.

PLEASE DO NOT BE UNHAPPY,JUST BECAUSE I'M OUT OF SIGHT.
REMEMBER THAT I AM WITH YOU EVERY MORNING,NOON AND NIGHT.
THAT DAY I HAD TO LEAVE YOU WHEN MY LIFE ON EARTH IS 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 BADLY;YOU'RE PART OF MY PLAN.
THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WE HAVE TO DO,TO HELP OUR MORTAL MAN'.


GOD GAVE ME A LIST OF THINGS,THAT HE WISHED FOR ME TO DO.
AND FOREMOST ON THE LIST,WAS TO WATCH AND CARE FOR YOU.
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 ARE 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 I COULD TELL YOU ALL THAT GOD HAS PLANNED.
BUT IF I WERE TO TELL YOU,YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
BUT ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN,THROUGH MY LIFE ONE EARTH IS O'ER.
I'M CLOSER TO YOU NOW,THAN I EVER WAS BEFORE.

THERE ARE MANY ROCKY ROADS AHEAD OF YOU AND MANY HILLS TO CLIMB;
BUT TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT BY 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,THE WORLD WILL GIVE TO YOU.

IF YOU CAN HELP SOMEBODY WHO'S IN SORROW AND PAIN,
THEN YOU CAN SAY TO GOD AT NIGHT....'MY DAY WAS NOT IN VAIN'.
AND NOW I AM CONTENTED....THAT MY LIFE HAS BEEN WORTHWHILE,
KNOWING AS I PASSED ALONG THE WAY,I MADE SOMEBODY SMILE.

SO IF YOU MEET SOMEBODY WHO IS SAD OR FEELING LOW,
JUST LEND A HAND TO PICK HIM UP,AS ON YOUR WAY YOU GO.
WHEN YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THE STREET,AND YOU'VE GOT ME ON YOUR MIND;
IM WALKING IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS ONLY HALF A STEP BEHIND.

AND WHEN IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO....FROM THE BODY TO BE FREE,
REMEMBER YOU'RE NOT GOING....YOU'RE COMING HOME TO ME.
