I Will Lift You Up

I Will Lift You Up

I will always lift you up
No matter what you do
If your days grow cloudy
Or when you skys are blue
My arms are here to hold you
And lift you toward the sky
I will teach you all I know
And give you your wings to fly!

A Poem a Day

Memorial Poem

Lisa, Bearer of sunshine
And bringer of joy to us all
Has left us here without her
To answer a higher call.

Sweet little ones know that she loved you
And that she loves you yet
For though we go to a Heavenly home
Our loved ones we never forget.

For love is a gift from the Father
And you were the joy of her life
She was a devoted mother
As well as a daughter and wife.

Trust God to take your sorrow
And make this day easier to bear
Knowing that separation is not forever
For some day you will meet her there.

Live life and enjoy each moment
For she would not want you to fret
But want you to live long and happy lives
And that she loved you, never forget.

Be Comforted

We have gathered together as family and friends
To celebrate that through life stops here on earth
It never really ends.
It goes on eternally on Heaven's glorious shore
And those we love will be there waiting
And we shall be with them forevermore.
For those we must leave behind,
Let us daily build up sweet memories to sustain
Until that glad reuinion day
when we see them again.
So do not weep as those who do not know the Father
For you know about His love
And that He has a mansion waiting
As your Heavenly home above.

A Grandparent's Album

These are the grandparents who loved you
More than words can ever say
And who would have loved to watch you
As you go about your day.
They are the ones who rejoiced with us
Over the announcement of your birth
And every moment with you
Was a treasure of this earth.
You have little bits of genetics from them
That remind me of them each day
A smile, a look, a bit of personality
That will never go away.
I hope thatyou remember
As this book you look through
Just how special you were to them
And how much they loved you.

Cause for Celebration

Cause for Celebration
What a lovely way to celebrate today
The miracles that God sent our way.
Every time we look at you
Today and your whole lives through
Will be a celebration.
We dedicate you back to the one who
Gave us the precious gift of you
And we sing together as we do
This special act of faith and love
Baptism that confirms our belief in God above
Realizing that each day
He sends our way
Is cause for celebration.

For a Wonderful Teacher

You are the kind of teacher
That every child should have
And learn from each year
The kind that wipes runny noses
And each falling tear.
You are the kind of teacher
That very few children get
You never stop to think of yourself
And you are the kind we don't forget.
You are the kind of person
That teachers want for their own
The kind that spends extra hours
In the classroom and on the phone
Working with your students
And also when you are alone.
You are the teacher who so deeply cares
The teacher who always shares
Not only knowledge but tenderness too
With each gentle soul that comes to you.
We are so thankful for you Miss Joan
And when our little ones to you we sent
We knew it was to be precious time well spent.
You are very special is what I'm trying to say
As I send this little verse your way.

A Poem a Day

God bless the ones who have Lost a Pet

God bless the ones who have lost a pet
Whose playful antics they will never forget
God bless the ones who shed hot tears
And miss those sweet kitty nibbles on their ears...

The puppy paws and puppy chews
Even the teething marks on mommy's shoes...
The puppy bed that gets ignored
For sleep on the bed of the mommy so adored...

The night time cuddles and sweet meows,
As well as attention getting howls...
The language that is so sweet
Those I love yous said in puppy prose or kitty speak...

God bless the ones who've lost a friend
Another sweet fur child please send
One who will cause them to love again.
And ease their hurts and heal their pain.

God bless the ones ......

One More Kitty in Heaven

One More Kitty in Heaven

There's one more kitty in Heaven
One more soft purr at the angel's feet
One sweet well loved cat
To make God's menagerie more unique

There's one more kitty to join the games
And run in the Heavenly fields so happily
And even though we now grieve for him
We are thankful that he belonged to my family and me.
