Within the bounds of heaven
Within the sky of lights
An Angel holds life's vigil
Upon the world each night
 
His eyes have seen the burdens
The pain and sadness there
But joyful avocations
In God's own reverent prayer
 
Looking at His world below
He knows that there is good
Those who seek His Blessings
And those misunderstood
 
Tears do fall from Heaven
As Angels spread their wings
Captured in the joy of love
As mist of tears begins
 
Feel the love fall down on us
In sacred tears of pain
Passing through an Angel's wing
With love that still remains
 
And so it goes and it is written
That we have earned this day
Brought to you by God Himself
Though Angel's brilliant ray.

Another year….another Christmas and where has the time gone.……. Seems like just yesterday that I was writing something for “Christmas 2003” My day are fill with work….my nights I spend in front of the television The only time I really think is on the drive to and from work…


I watch God’s glorious handy work on my drive…. I see the sun rise in the Morning and most of the time I see it set at night. I watch beautiful birds fly ….bald eagles…..golden eagles…red tail hawks many other types of hawks…..an occasional owl ……lots of ravens. Little prairie dogs, big jack rabbits….deer and antelope. I watch the sky… I watch the changing seasons….. the mountain range that is so very much a part of my life. It brings me peace even when the weather outside has no Calm.


This will be our 8th Christmas without Jason. It doesn’t seem possible that he could be gone that long….and yet it feels like a thousand years. We get up each day and we live our lives….this year we took our grand kids (Jason’s kids.. Chelsea is 10 now and Gregory is 8) on vacation with us…. they met many relatives that they had never known. They made happy memories. That’s what life is about… sharing...... Making memories with the people that are here…. sharing a part of ourselves. Sharing our lives with the ones we love. Giving them memories for after we have gone. Remembering those that have gone and remembering our loved ones are waiting for us.


Death is not an end….or a beginning…. It’s a vehicles to get us home… And home is where we all belong…. So until that vehicle comes for Me….I will be writing more pages and sharing more memories… Thanks for being a part of my life this past year. May we all find some peace during this blessed season.



In The Light


A shadow of joy flickered; it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave..
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts are
imbedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think
that you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light.
In the corner, in the hall,
the car, the yard --
these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time
you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish,
it grows stronger.
I am the feather that
finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows
brighter in your mind,
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way,
a way that now has its focus changed.
I still crave your understanding and
long for the many words of prayer
and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.


As you struggle to adjust without me,
I watch silently.
Sometimes I summon up all the strength of
my new world to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love deeper
into your consciousness.
As you should,
I call out to the Heavens for help.
You should know that the
fountain of youth does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.


Please don't feel bad
that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
I protect you, just as you
protected me so many times.
Talk to me and somehow I will find
a way to answer you.
Mother, father, son or daughter
it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife,
it makes no difference.
Whatever our connection-friend or
even foe-I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
wherever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.


When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.
Our love for you truly does
transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest
that you had when we were
together in the physical sense. You owe this to me,
but more importantly,
you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you
and I am in the Light.

I Can Only Imagine

"I can only imagine what it will be like,
when I walk by Your side...
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see,
when Your Face is before me!
I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!


I can only imagine, when that day comes,
when I find myself standing in the Son!
I can only imagine, when all I will do,
is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!


Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine, when all I do is forever,
forever worship You!
