The tiny rosebud God picked to bloom in Heaven.
The master gardener from heaven above
Planted a seed in the garden of Love,
And from it there grew a rosebud small
That never had time to open at all.
For God in his perfect and all-wise way
Chose this rose for his heavenly bouquet,
And great was the joy of this tiny rose
To be the one our Father chose
To leave earth’s garden
For one on high
where roses bloom always and never die.
So, while you can’t see your precious rose bloom,
You know the great gardener from the upper room
Is watching and tending this wee rose with care,
Tenderly touching each petal so fair.
So think of your darling with the angels above,
Secure and contented and surrounded with love,
And remember God blessed and enriched your lives too,
For in dying your darling brought heaven closer to you.
Helen Steiner Rice
Special Angel Day - by Sam & Gordon Winson
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.
A poem written by mellanie campbell
for all the GTS little angels x
On wings of flight to realms unknown
the white soft downy dove has flown
Alone he soars, dips then dives,
revelling in the freedom of the azure skies
The watcher below is granted a glimpse,
a fleeting glimpse and marvels at the sight
Envious, oh, would that he might, be bathed
as the dove in radiance bright
His feet are firmly planted,
yet, in dreams, his wish is granted
Dream on watcher, one day you will be free
Together you'll fly, patience, wait quietly
When the time is right, the dazzling sun
will disperse the gloom of deepest night
J. Salloway July 1986 (for Memorial Service)
The days of my lfe were yours
My youth and the years of my life were yours
The love in my life was yours
All yours, forever yours
Be happy in the realms of our Lord above
I wish you joy and peace my love
Does your spirit roam free
In the place where you dwell
A land of white light, flowers and trees
With sparkling rivers and silver seas
Do you think of me?
Do you remember me?
Lost in the shadows of the past
I would the memories that haunt me could be stilled at last
When souls fly free if memories die
Surely love remains, the lasting flame
When my eyes grow dim
Come to meet me if you can
Take my hand and lead me on
Together forever
Blessed eternity
wish i knew you
your brother gave me the most precious thing in life, lauren!
your mum and dad love you and miss you very much.
you would have been a a youngman now, in your 30's and maybe have a family of your own.
you would have loved lauren, shes so much fun to be around, she likes looking at your photo and says how much you are like your dad.
sleep tight
