If I Could Have a Lifetime Wish

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart for
Yesterday and You.

A thousand words can't bring you back;
I know because I've tried.
And neither can a million tears;
I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broke heart
and happy memories too.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

~ One Day ~

I can see you my Angel
Through these eyes of mine
You are watching me from heaven
Oh how wonderful you shine
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
Clouds are floating past me
But I can still see you
To be with you in heaven
Would be a dream come true
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
I will patiently wait Angel
Many years may come and go
You will always be shining for me
With your heavenly glow
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
When my time on earth is through
And my eyes can no longer see you
God will open his arms and welcome me
To be in heaven with you for Eternity

Outside the house beside the driveway is an evergreen,
And two or three times every year a miracle is seen.
A single red rose starts to bud and blossom to full bloom,
In the center of the evergreen facing my room.

Surrounded by the greenery it glows a brilliant red,
A single red rose blooming where no other makes it's bed.
Each time it happens and I see it I just stop and stare,
And wonder with this evergreen how did the rose get there.

I always stand amazed when I am pondering this view,
It always brings back memories of someone that I once knew.
The evergreen reminds me of the people I have known,
But one stands out just like this rose that blooms there all alone.

The evergreen is beautiful like people I have met,
The rose reminds me of someone I never will forget.
The evergreen surrounds the rose with all it's greenery,
But the beauty of the precious rose is all that you can see.

It touches all your senses when the rose is blooming there,
It makes you stop and notice all the plant life everywhere.
Floral you would never see or pay attention to,
Unless the beauty of the rose had it's effect on you.

Sometimes things in life will bring the focus into view,
And make you notice everything as if it were brand new.
It makes you stop and be aware of all the little things,
You notice flowers as they bloom and watch a bird that sings.

He was such a person that this rose reminds me of,
Filled to overflowing with his gentleness and love.
Always with an attitude of being positive,
Never wanting for himself he only knew to give.

He never let the world around him change his attitude,
Like the single red rose blooming in it's solitude.
He knew his mind and heart and nothing could stand in his way,
Just like the single brilliant rose that's blooming here today.

Many times his actions would bring questions from a peer,
Just the way you wonder why the rose is growing here.
But in the end you always knew he'd blossom on the scene,
The same way that this single rose did with the evergreen.

Some people slip into your life so quietly they came,
And just the fact they touched your life, it never is the same.
He touched so many people's lives the way that he touched mine,
He was that rose so beautiful and I part of the pine.

~~ By Lea Dyer Snow. ~~

Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...

I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...

I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...

I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...

If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...

Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...

Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.

With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.


Love Jude. x x

~ In Your Tear's~
In your tears my precious,
please smile a little this sad day
for I am kept so safe now
here in a joyous place
The twinkles smile within my eyes,
laughing here, I will forever
in Jesus' blessed grace

In your tears, I know you cry,
but only think
of roses swirling at my feet
my life upon the stars
All about is light and joy
a glow within my heart


In your tears, so softly smile
as you sleep and dream of me
then as you wake upon the dawn,
imagine if you will my dance
I am set free from earth's distance
I am close forevermore

In your tears, find hope,
for today is our tomorrow too
I am, our Father promised all,
Forever love can never die
there is no separation,
there is only life in you and I


Love is here for you,
Love is where you are
Love is everlasting life
Love is in our heart

They are not stars after all....
but openings in heaven,
where God beams the love of all we love

~ Wrapped In Love ~

There are some so very beautiful
Who were born to not grow old,
But shall stay delightfully youthful
With tenderness untold.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

Life shall never hurt them
With heartache or with tears,
For they are kept perpetually guarded
From living on for years.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

No grief will break their heart,
They will not see our death
The greater love is glad
From such sorrow they are kept.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

Eyes to shine in endless brightness
Hair to keep that golden glow,
Velvet cheeks, soft as the dew
No wrinkles will they ever know.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

Each day will be filled with laughter
Where delight can never cease,
To know only sweetest kindness
True love and joy and peace.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

The Sun will continually shine for them
And bright stars will never fall,
Held for all time in delightful wonder
Where fireworks enthrall.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

God gave the loveliness of their life
For the giving of their all,
As He also gently carried them away
In answer to their call.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

And there they are the very blessed
To be kept forever pure,
For how wondrous is the love
Where they always now endure.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

Because they are so safe
Yet preserved constantly in my heart,
May they fly in joy while I set them free
Into their perfection above.
•:*:• ♥•:*:

Oh Lord Jesus, as I weep,
Until I see their face
Please hold me in Your love.

And the time
comes when remaining enclosed
within the bud is impossible
when there's so much love
to bloom.

Your greatest pleasure is that
which rebounds from a heart
that you have
made forever glad

It’s funny how the smallest things
Keep you near me.
I’ll hear a song or smell a scent
And feel you instantly.
When you first left, these smallest things
Were painful to endure.
But now I find, they bring me peace
And gently reassure.
Although I know you’ve gone ahead
Into the great unknown.
I feel your presence by my side
As I cross each stepping stone.
And faith that you are with me
Guides my footsteps through the dark.
It lets me know you lead my way,
With your own spiritual spark.
My faith is strong and hope is great,
That we will meet again.
For now, I’ll simply carry on,
Always missing you—till then.

Until We're Together Again

══ೋღ♥

Some believe
A star shining brightly in the heavens
Represents the love of someone they can't see
Others feel
The butterfly dancing in their garden
Is a symbol of a spirit flying free

══ೋღ♥

But when a gentle breeze caresses your hair
Or you see an eagle soar in the air
Should you smile and remember me in prayer
Oh, I will be there

══ೋღ♥

There's no need to say good-bye
One day we'll be together
Remember me and smile
I'm in your heart forever
I'll feel the love you send
Until we're together again

══ೋღ♥

Close your eyes
You'll find me sailing in the sunset
Riding waves of bluest oceans ever seen
Holding hands
Of all the others here before me
My head upheld to hear the angels sing

══ೋღ♥

I can do all the things I've always dreamed of
I'll be watching over you from above
Don't worry about me because
I brought along all your love

══ೋღ♥


There's no need to say good-bye
One day we'll be together
Remember me and smile
I'm in your heart forever
I'll feel the love you send
Until we're together again

══ೋღ♥


It doesn't matter where you are
My love will shine upon you from that star
Like the butterfly, now I'm free
Ascending through the sky peacefully

══ೋღ♥

There's no need to say good-bye
One day we'll be together
Remember me and smile
I'm in your heart forever
I'll feel the love you send
All the love you send
And you hold on to the love I send
Until we're together again

══ೋღ♥

We'll be together again?

══ೋღ♥

Bring me a tomorrow
Bring me happiness with no hate
Bring a peaceful world that's forgiving
For our Angels to embrace

Listen to the voices
That our inner spirit brings
Listen till our heart is content
And allow our freedom to ring

Smile through the stresses
By assisting a person or two
Allow yourself to begin
Another day renewed

Know that you are not alone
As our tears fall together as the rain
And the storms became so heavy
That we felt the weight of pain

But when the weight is lifted
And the sun begins to rise
I will hold you close and whisper
I am the rainbow in the skies

For with every vibrant color
There is a gift each brings
To cloak you in our Love
"Love" is an amazing thing

Bring me a tomorrow
Bring me happiness with no hate
Bring a peaceful world that's forgiving
For our Angels to embrace

♥ The House Is Empty Now ♥


The house is empty now, and so am I.
The silence is all around me
and penetrates my every step.
If I listen to music, it pierces my soul
and brings up tears on its way out.

I see his picture on several walls,
giving a momentary glow
to days gone by, filling those rooms
with love’s reflections, as I pass through.

I go out and return, but the routine and the voices
beyond this place cannot come back with me.
I am stripped and searched at the door,
humbled as I lean upon the entrance way.
I may only take the emptiness in.

That doesn’t seem necessary,
since it abides here anyway.
The house is empty now,
and so am I.
