a verse for maggie xxx

♥♥ Although you are a friend of mine
and candles we exchange
I wouldn't know you on the street
and doesn't that seem strange? ♥♥

♥♥ You hold a place within my life
unusual and unique
we share ideals and special dreams
and still we do not speak ♥♥

♥♥ I picture what I think you are
perhaps you picture me
an intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see ♥♥

♥♥ So for this friendship we possess
we owe this mail a debt
perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met ♥♥

thankyou so much maggie for all your support you have shown me over the last few weeks.
it means such a lot to me.
the candles, the verses and pictures are wonderful.
last week on my dad's anniversary i was helped so much by my g.t.s friends including yourself. normally i sit on that day and shut myself away, this year i felt like i had turned a corner and its all thanks to this site and all you special people and of course our angels.
arthur must have been a fantastic brother, im sure he is watching you every second of the day and blowing you kisses from heaven.
once again thankyou maggie, your 1 in a million pet xx

Good morning Maggie

Thank-you so much for your continued care and support. I am off on Saturday and will do my best to light my candles but it probably won't be until Sunday. I just wanted you to know that I will be thinking of you all.

I can see that you loved Arthur with all your heart and I hope he has met up with Alex. Sending you lots of love and hugs Maggie, you are indeed a lovely lady. Bless you!

Letter from Heaven

Letter From Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
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 was 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 day's 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 that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
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 was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and 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;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me
Love Arthur.XXXX

I love you so much that it hurts so bad.

'I'll lend you for a little time
A child of mine,' He said,
'For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he is dead.

'It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three;
But will you, 'til I call him back
Take care of him for me?

'He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And shall his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

'I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return;
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

'I've looked the wide world over
In search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
I have selected you.

'Now will you give him all your love
Nor think the labor vain;
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?'

I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy Will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

'We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.

'But shall the Angels call for him
Much sooner then we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.'

We are both thinking of you and your family.
You are in our thoughts

To the outside world we all grow old.
But not to brothers and sisters.
We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts.
We share private family jokes.
We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys.
We live outside the touch of time.'
**************************
A brother is a friend God gave you; a friend is a brother your heart chose for you.
******************************
Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.
***********************
A brother is a friend given by Nature.

Thank you Maggie

Dear Maggie

Just wanted to say thank-you so much for the lovely poem that you left for Alex - you were right it was very true and helped a great deal. Arthur looks like he was a fun and kind person to be around - he must be greatly missed. It's really nice to be able to support each other through this website. It's such a shame that we are all united in such a painful process. Thanks again.

Take care, with love Hazel xxxx

Crossing over

Parting is so hard for us, who are left behind.
I share your grief I feel your pain,
but please let me remind.
They are walking on streets of gold,
and rejoicing with the Lord.
All the saints that's gone before,
are all in one accord.
They left this world so quickly,
there were no time for good-byes.
If They could say one thing to you ...
I am sure it would be 'Dry your eyes.'
I am in a place so beautiful,
the beauty I can't begin to tell.
One day when your time is oer,
you'll be here with me as well.
So don't even try to say good-bye,
Just so long for a little while.
And when we have that grand reunion,
we'll all live together ......Jesus Style.

love you so so much big Brother.XXXXXX
