Hugs from Heaven

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

I'm so sorry for your loss XxXxX

IN THE GARDEN OF TREES STANDS A WILLOW,
NAMED APTYLY FOR HEARTACHE AND SORROW,
EACH LEAF REPRESENTS ONE MORE TEAR.

WITH GRACE THOSE LEAVES BLOW ON A SOFT WIND,
TO REMIND OF OUR CHILD GONE AWAY;
YET IT REACHES ITS BRANCHES TOWARDS HEAVEN,
WITH THE PROMISE WE'LL SEE THEM SOMEDAY.

IT STANDS IN THE MIDST OF STORM TOSSED WINDS,
A TREE WITH QUIET BEAUTY AND GRACE,
LIKE OUR HEARTS IT SURVIVES THROUGH THE WORST
OF IT ALL,
AND WILL `TILL WE SEE OUR CHILD'S FACE.

IN THE GARDEN OF TREES STANDS A WILLOW,
A WILLOW THAT WEEPS THROUGH THE TEARS;
JUST LIKE OUR CHILD, IT'S IN GODS HANDS,
AND LIKE US, SHEDS COUNTLESS TEARS.


Sincere condolences, I hope you can take strength from the love you have for Joe and each other to help you through the dark tunnel of this roller coaster ride of terrible emotions, Stay strong Joe is near you he may have left your sight but he has not left your sides. So sorry XXXXX

FOR A SPECIAL ANGEL

Memories are heartbeats
sounding through the years
echoes never fading
of our smiles and our tears
moments that are captured
sometimes unaware
pictured in an album
or a lock of hair

Images that linger
deep within the mind
bit of verse we cherished
once upon a time
through the musty hallways
of the days we knew
ever comes the vision
beautiful and true

Memories are roses
blooming evermore
full of fragrant sweetness
never known before
life must have a meaning
goals for which to strive
memories are lights that burn
to keep the heart alive
LOVE LIZ X

I lost my son who had just turned 16 in December 2006. My heartfelt sympathy to you all - I know how devestating it is. The pain you are feeling will never leave, although it does seem less 'raw' as time passes. Take care of each other x Rob's mum
