THOSE WE GIVE TO GOD WE NEVER LOSE
I felt the light of heaven
it was shining down on me,
I heard His voice, He called my name,
"my child, come follow Me;"
There is no pain, there is no hurt
nor sadness anywhere,
In heaven there is joy and love
and I'll be waiting there;
For on the day I left this earth
I felt your many tears,
And now I watch you from above
and keep you very near;
It hurts to be apart from me, but
be patient for the day,
When we meet again in love and peace
when you too come this way.

I went to one of my male friend Joe\'s funeral yesterday. He had a massive heart attack. This poem was written on the back of his picture In loving memory. I thought I would share it with all my loving friends...Love to all, Kelly
Thanks so much for sharing this. I\'m so sorry too about your friend, Joe. Funerals are so heavy on our hearts yet when we are able to attend, our presence, I know, means so much to the family as it does to us. Gentle care your way dear Kelly. Love, Joanie

Absolutely beautiful and so relavant! My daughter wonders why i don\'t feel the need to visit Philip at the cemetary. I tell her it is because he is not there!! It gives me peace to know that I have not seen him for the last time!!
