The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures;
He leadeth me
beside still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for
His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine
enemies; thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup
runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of
my life; and I will dwell
in the house of the Lord
for ever!!

THE  ANGEL



A SOFT SPOKEN VOICE
CALLED OUT IN THE NIGHT
NOT A DIFFICULT CHOICE
THE LIGHT SHINED SO BRIGHT
I KNEW IT WAS RIGHT
HER GENTLE WAY
NEVER LED ME ASTRAY
SHE TOOK MY HAND
AND LED ME TO SEE
THE WONDERS
OF WHAT IS YET TO BE
GENTLE WORDS OF WISDOM
FREED ME FROM MY PRISON
A PATH SO STRAIGHT AND TRUE
CAME OUT OF THE BLUE
SHE GUARDS AND PROTECTS
NO WORRY ABOUT THE EFFECTS
A TRUE AND TENDER HEART
A LOAN ON LOVE
SENT FROM ABOVE
NOW COMFORTS YOUR FAMILY
WITH HER GENTLE TOUCH

My dear friend Karma,

Francine is truly an Angel with her words.

to those who have lost this struggle with their lives. "
Please take the time to visit her newest site.








FOR  CRAIG
             
God looked down and saw you
And He knew you were in pain.
So He reached His arms down to you
And gently called your name.

We didn't want to lose you
For we knew we'd miss you so.
But we saw how you were suffering
So we had to let you go.

Now, you're with our Lord and Savior
At peace in Heaven above
So we thank Him for your time with us
And for the Blessings of your love.

THE  PRINCE


ONE DAY...NOT SO LONG AGO
A PRINCE WAS BORN..
FULL OF LAUGHTER AND LIGHT
HIS SPARKLE BROUGHT
SUCH HAPPINESS TO HIS PEOPLE

BUT...
BY CHANCE...

HIS LIGHT GREW DIM
HIS PEOPLE WATCHED IN SORROW
AS IT FADED EVERY DAY
UNTIL SNUFFED BY A GODLY RAY...
BUT HIS PEOPLE LOOKED UP TO SEE
A NEW LIGHT GROW...

THEY GAZE IN AWE EACH NIGHT
FOR THEY KNOW
NO ONE WILL EVER MISS

THE SHINING LIGHT OF...

THE PRINCE

Dedicated to
~ Craig Robert Whitton ~


My son is calm and peaceful
God took him to his rest
No longer will he suffer
He is His welcome guest


Jesus came to get him
With host of angels near
An honor guard to lead him
To home of no more tears

Gardens of great beauty
Castles in the sky
Wings that glitter stardust
That gather in our eye


Sadness all around us
For child that we have lost
Memories are gathered
Smiles and precious thoughts


Love will always follow
Words will find a way
To ease the pain and sorrow
Subsiding as we pray


The suffering has ended
Your journey long and slow
Each day that you accepted
Is love that you will know

Watch us all from heaven
Send your special light
Coming down on moonbeams
On every starry night


Craig is now in heaven
God is at his side
Angels all are singing
His precious soul arrived


Clouds of ribbons gathered
Cascading in the sky
The very best of angels
With special place on high


Love is overwhelming
The colors are divine
Hues of special sunset
Craig joins this glowing shrine.

Each step begins a journey
To claim our life's reward
Golden steps to take us
To gate of Heaven's door


Angels gather singing
Each one of us be praised
God is holding Arms out
To help us on our way


Heaven is rejoicing
Family has arrived
Joy and jubilation
United in God's sky

Welcome home My Child
Jesus says with love
You have reached your heaven
No more tears above


Heaven filled with beauty
Flowers everywhere
Colors of a rainbow
For miles and miles to share


Now a new beginning
In peace with blessed prayer
No sorrow or no pain now
Reward of love to share.


STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN...By Francine  Pucillo
Thank you Gaby for the beautiful Angel Plaque.
My soul is painted like  wings of a butterfly 
Memories of yesterday grow... they never die
Near restful waters He led me to revive...
and as He did, my drooping spirit became alive.
I crossed over the bridge into the unknown,
to places I'd never walked before... I was not alone.
I discovered a freedom, I was new and reborn.
Without fear, without pain, no more tears to cry
I am healed, I am whole, my eyes remain dry.
No more looking back or hanging on,
Peace fills me now, from dusk until dawn.
So I send you my love, gentle hugs and a kiss
For now and forever...I know I'll be missed
but try to remember one day you will see
we will all be together in a great Revelry!

Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love growing in your heart.
And remember.... I'll be remembering you!


Thank you Helena for the beautiful angel cameo.
