If Love Could Have Saved You A million times I think of you
A million times I've cried If love could have saved you You never would have died In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place No one could ever fill It broke my heart to lose you But you didn't go alone A big part of me went with you The day God took you home BUTTERFLY A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam. And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again. And though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it. |
By Rita Moran Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet.
I'll never be over it. Please, don't tell me she's in a better place. She isn't here with me. Please, don't say at least she isn't suffering. I haven't come to terms with why she had to suffer at all. Please, don't tell me you know how I feel, Unless you have lost a child. Please, don't ask me if I feel better. Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up. Please don't tell me at least you had her for so many years. What year would you choose for your child to die? Please don't tell me God never gives us more than we can bear. Please, just say you are sorry. Please, just say you remember my child, if you do. Please just let me talk about my child. Please, mention my child's name. Please, just let me cry. |

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,
if the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand And said my place was ready in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, i'd always though I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of wordly things that i'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you , and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, He said,"This is eternity and all I've promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it start anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free. So wont you take My hand and share My life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart. |
