poem Her journeys just begun
Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, her journey’s just begun Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears In a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today How nothing but our sadness, can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched For nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.
poem I Felt an Angel
I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me I felt an angel’s kiss, soft upon my cheek And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak I felt an angel’s loving touch, soft upon my heart And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart I felt an angel’s tepid tears, fall softly next to mine And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine I felt an angel’s silken wings enfold me with pure love And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.
