DAWN ANGELS
AGNES MARY FRANCES DARMESTER

ALL night I watched awake for morning,
At last the East grew all aflame,
The birds for welcome sang, or warning,
And with their singing morning came.

Along the gold-green heavens drifted
Pale wandering souls that shun the light,
Whose cloudy pinions, torn and rifted,
Had beat the bars of Heaven all night.

These clustered round the moon, but higher
A troop of shining spirits went,
Who were not made of wind or fire,
But some divine dream-element.

Some held the Light, while those remaining
Shook out their harvest-colored wings,
A faint unusual music raining,
Whose sound was Light on earthly things.

They sang, and as a mighty river
Their voices washed the night away,
From East to West ran one white shiver,
And waxen strong their song was Day.

◡◠ʚϊɞ .....Like....ʚϊɞ◠◡

Clear like a raindrop, fresh and pure
Warm as a ray shone from the sun
Lost like a seashell on the shore
Small like a number in a sum

◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ

Perfect like a petal on a flower
Shiny as a glint upon the snow
Fast like a minute in an hour
Cold as the breeze in winds that blow

◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ

Cute as a freckle on a face
Light like a beam down from the moon
Delicate as a pattern stitched in lace
Sadness in a memory gone too soon

◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ

Tiny as a speckle in the sand
Pure like a reflection on a lake
Identity in the lines upon a hand
Innocent as the goodness in a sake

◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ◡◠ʚϊɞ

Fresh as the bud that's born to bloom
Lonely as a note without a song
Sorrow for our babe that's gone too soon
Forever your memory will shine on

....Angel wings and halo
**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**

I cry for you each night and day
Each tear is shed for you
It dosent matter where i am
Tears will always fall for you

**~**~**~**~**~**

You see my heart is broken
I know that it wont mend
All your love was deep inside
From beginning,right to the end

**~**~**~**~**~**

I know that i dont see you
But i feel your love around
I know you walk beside me
And you never make a sound

**~**~**~**~**~**

When im down you lift me
Im sure you take my hand
I feel sadness creeping back
Because i just dont understand

**~**~**~**~**~**

When i gain my wings and halo
Together we will fly through
Fluffy clouds and over rainbows
I will be so happy, again ill be with you

A WONDERFUL DAY

Our Guardian Angels will speak to us
in many different ways.

They'll whisper joy from a bird's song
or wind through a majestic pine,

Or laugh amid the rolling clouds
in a joyous thunder clap,

Or whisper love through a turtle dove
or from a puppy's joyous yap,

So listen closely to every sound
than might come your way,

It could be your angel saying,
"Have a Wonderful Day."

JUST A DOG

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"
or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog."

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent,
or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."

Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by
"just a dog,"
and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of
"just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand
phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust,
and pure unb ridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me
a better person.

Because of "just a dog", I will rise early, take long walks and
look longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment
of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts
away
from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog",
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
"just a man or woman."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog"
just smile...
because they "just don't understand."

When dogs go to Heaven, they don't need wings because God
knows that dogs love running best. He gives them fields.
Fields and fields and fields.

♥

When a dog first arrives in Heaven, he just runs.
Dog Heaven has clear, wide lakes filled with geese who honk
and flap and tease. The dogs love this.
They run beside the water and bark and bark and
God watches them from behind a tree and smiles.

♥

And, oh, the dog biscuits. Biscuits and biscuits are as far as the eye
can see. God has a sense of humor, so he makes his biscuits
in funny shapes for his dogs. Every angel who passes by has a biscuit
for a dog. Every dog becomes a good dog in Dog Heaven.

♥

God turns clouds inside out to make fluffy beds for the dogs
in Dog Heaven, and when they are tired from running and barking
and eating ham sandwiches and biscuits, the dogs each find a cloud
bed for sleeping.

♥

Dogs in Dog Heaven have almost always belonged to somebody
on Earth and of course, the dogs remember this. Heaven
is full of memories. So sometimes an angel will walk a dog back
to Earth for a little visit and quietly, invisibly, the dog will sniff
about his old backyard, will investigate the cat next door,
will follow the child to school, will sit on the front porch and wait
for the mail. When he is satisfied that all is well, the dog will return
to Heaven with the angel.

♥

The dogs in Dog Heaven who had no real homes on Earth are
given one in Heaven. The homes have yards and porches and there
are couches to lie on and tables to sit under while the angels eat
their dinners. There are special bowls with the dogs' names on them.
And each dog is petted and reminded how good he is, all day long.

♥

Dogs in Dog Heaven may stay as long as they like and this can mean
forever. They will be there when old friends show up.
They will be there at the door.

Angel Dogs. ♥

...............♥ ✿*•.
It starts as a memory,
or a thought from the past
In a time gone forever.
In a dream you can't grasp.
.•*✿♥
...............♥ ✿*•.
Alive in your heart, but
contained by your soul.
Unleashed by emotion,
from your eye it will flow.

...............♥ ✿*•.
Running true down your face,
filled with a lifetime of blues.
A drop in a ocean of heartache,
caused by pain you didn't choose.

It falls in total silence,
as everyone before.
It lands next to your feelings,
as it crashes to the floor.

Never and Forever
ღ♥
I stood by the rushing river,
And watched its eddies whirl,
Where, in its rocky channel,
The rolling ripples curl.
And my heart was sad and weary,
For I mourned a life that was o'er,
And I said, in my soul's deep sorrow,
"Ah! never, nevermore!"
Again I stood by the river,
When years had passed away,
And watched its whirling eddies,
And watched its ripples play.
And my heart was glad within me,-
For I knew, on the other shore,
Once more I should be with my loved one,
Forever and evermore.

Love is the one thing
That keeps our spirits whole
When Sorrow comes a knocking
With hurts that touch our soul
.❦∕̆̃̃✿
When our world falls around us
Darkness fills our dreams
It’s Love that lifts our spirits
Bridging Sorrow's streams
.❦∕̆̃̃✿
Love calls us from the brink
Of being swallowed by the stream
Dispels depression
And warms us in it’s gleam
.❦∕̆̃̃✿
Helps us through the horror
Of love lost or led astray
From man's trespass
Or angels spirit them away
.❦∕̆̃̃✿
Love comes to give us comfort
To wipe away the tears
Love will shield our spirits
When Sorrow's shadow nears
.❦∕̆̃̃✿
Love’s light whisper
Will stifle Sorrow's gain
In life’s losses
Love is Sorrow’s bane

Tuesday night

❃

We spend most of our time and energy
in a kind of horizontal thinking.
We move along the surface of things
going from one quick base to another,
often with a frenzy that wears us out.
We collect data, things, people, ideas,
"profound experiences,"
never penetrating any of them.….
But there are other times.
There are times when we stop.
We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory.
We listen and breezes from a whole other world
begin to whisper.

~ James Carroll ❃

♥

Cold, wet noses, hearts warm and true
Loyalty and devotion all the years through

♥

Four feet following me, walking beside me and ahead
Constant companions, sitting beside me, laying at the foot of my bed

♥

Lucky to have known them, they enriched my life beyond measure
Long walks through the woods, trips to the dog park,
I will always treasure

♥

Faithful and steadfast, love unconditional and without fail
God's perfect creation, from tip of nose to tail

♥

If one were to say to me, dogs don't go heaven, I would question their doubt
For what kind of heaven would it be for me to be without

♥

Dogs romping about, barking, tails wagging while at play
Furry clowns so entertaining, making me smile and laugh every single day

♥

So when my time on this earth ends, I reach down and pet my dogs that have passed
It is then I will know, I have reached heaven at last.

My body may age but my mind will stay young.
I've much left to do, many songs to be sung.
many roads are to be travelled, much love to express,
many souls that need aid, who are now in distress.
I will do what I can to help brighten your day,
I will spread cheer and love as I pass by your way.
The world is my oyster, to have and to hold,
why, I'm really too busy to ever grow old.

PET HEAVEN
J.S.JACKSON
♥

It's hard to lose a pet you love -
You miss it very much.
You'd like to hold it close again
And feel its furry touch.

♥

But there's a place in heaven
For our special animal friends...
Day and night, there's angel light
and love that never ends.

♥

God knows each dog and kitty cat,
And calls them by their names.
He fills up all their water bowls
And plays their favorite games.

♥

The angels give them lots of hugs
And tickle all their tummies.
They teach them to do awesome tricks,
Then give them tasty yummies.

♥

So may this furry angel friend
Remind you, 24/7
Your pet is happy, safe and sound,
In God's arms up in heaven.

ANGELS CRY
RUTH

♥

Suddenly there's a flash of light
And the heavens roar with all their might
The whip is cracked throughout the sky
And the raindrops fall as the angels cry.

♥

The trees are heavy with the tears
That seem to be out of fears,
Or is it joy, or is it sadness,
Yet, could it be a fury of madness?

♥

Unknown are all the fervent whys
That brought the tears from their eyes.
What is known when they have ceased
Is that the earth is again at peace

THE END OF LIFE
PHILIP JAMES BAILEY

We live in deeds not years
In thoughts not breaths
In feelings, not figures on a dial
We should count time by heartthrobs.
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest,
Acts the best.


♥~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♥


Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.

Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

A land Beyond

Beyond this land of beauty
is a land that shines so bright
where peace and harmony stand side by side
all bathed in Gods own light.

☆******☆******☆******☆

It is the home of our spirit friends
Who watch over us each day
they influence our daily lives
in the things, we do and say.

☆******☆******☆******☆

It is the home of our dear ones
Who’s material life came to an end
Who now live in the world of spirit
their love to us they send.

☆******☆******☆******☆

There is no death but eternal life
that is what lies ahead for all
a great adventure to experience
When we each receive the call.

☆******☆******☆******☆

Place your trust in God
as he places his trust in you
give all you can to your fellow man,
let God’s light shine bright and true

☆******☆******☆******☆


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♥

We can’t see love
But we know it exists
We feel it deep in our hearts
And the very depth of our soul

We can’t see you
But we know you are there
Both day and night
The sun, the stars
A rainbow after the storm
A delicate butterfly
Fluttering around
All signs to let us know
You are always with us
Every moment of our life
