God can Heal a Broken Heart but He has to have all the Pieces.

Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

POEMS



IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY
AND MEMORIES A LANE.
I WOULD WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN
AND BRING YOU BACK AGAIN.

NO FAREWELL WORDS WERE SPOKEN.
NO TIME TO SAY 'GOODBYE'.
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE I KNEW IT,
AND ONLY GOD KNOW'S WHY.

MY HEART STILL ACHES WITH SADNESS,
AND SECRET TEARS STILL FLOW.
WHAT IT MEANT TO LOVE YOU-
NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW.

BUT NOW I KNOW YOU WANT ME
TO MOURN FOR YOU NO MORE.
TO REMEMBER ALL THE HAPPY TIMES.
LIFE STILL HAS MUCH IN STORE.

SINCE YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
I PLEDGE TO YOU TODAY-
A HOLLOWED PLACE WITHIN MY HEART
IS WHERE YOU'LL ALWAYS STAY.

DON'T QUIT
When things get wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all up hill;
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

I'll lend you this little child ..

I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said
For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead
It may be six or seven years or forty two or three
But will you 'til I call him back take care of him for Me
He'll bring his ways to gladden you and should his stay be brief
You'll alwheard them say Dear Lord Thy Will be done
For all the joys Thy child will bring the risk of grief we'll run
We'll shelter him with tenderness we'll love him while we may
And just for having loved him forever grateful stay.
Author unknown at this time.
ays have his memories as a solace for your grief
I cannot promise he will stay as all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below that I want you all to learn
I've looked this whole world over in My search for students true
And from the folks that crown life's lane I have chosen you
Now will you give him all your love nor think labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to take this lent child back again?
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Thought there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.


The Marker
As he took his last breath and we laid him to rest

Put the bench near his grave
Where the marker now lays
It tells of his story, a life that once lived

It is where we will go
And pray to the Lord
Give me strength, give me comfort,
And please bring me peace
We will kneel to the ground and send praises to Him
That the day will soon come
For our Savior to appear

But for now we will cherish
What is carved in our hearts
For there you will remain
Until our last breath we take
And we meet you in heaven
Where the place is prepared
What a sweet, glorious day when I see you again
~By Heather Grijalva~

When I'm gone

When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can,
that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile.
Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done.
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun.
Forget that I've stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day,
Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay,
An come in the shade of the evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN...by Ruth Ann Mahaffey

To my dearest family, some things Id like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. Im writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, theres no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because Im out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through. God picked me up and hugged me and He said, I welcome you. Its good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, Theyll be here later on. I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan. There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the days chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you , you wouldnt understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is oer. Im closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and Id like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night....My day was not in vain. And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. When youre walking down the street and youve got me on your mind; Im walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when its time for you to go...from that body to be free. Remember youre not going...youre coming here to me.


Poem For Richard
Today I lost my brother,
It’s sad but very true.

This heartache that I now bear
The pain, the grief, and disbelief.

I know that you are sorry
And no, there is nothing that you can do
But hold my hand
And say a prayer
For only God can heal our wounds.

Each day I awake and realize
There is nothing new.
He still will not be with us
And the pain becomes brand new.

I will never see his child be born
Nor will mine remember him
His smile and laugh
The devilish grin
He bared when he walked in.

Never can he be hugged or kissed
No pats from a friend he’s missed.

No presents at Christmas,
No birthday cake
Will ever say his name.

A headstone, bench, and picture
Is where we will see him now
His final resting place
Here on the ground.

No, this burden I cannot change,
My little brother is gone today.

Don't Tell Me...


Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know,
Don't tell me that I will survive, how I will surely grow.


Don't tell me this is just a test, that I am truly blessed,
That I am chosen for this task, apart from all the rest.


Don't come at me with answers that can only come from me,
Don't tell me how my grief will pass, that I will soon be free.


Don't stand in pious judgment of the bonds I must untie,
Don't tell me how to suffer, don't tell me how to cry.


My life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all I see,
But I need you, I need your love, unconditionally.


Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share,
Just hold my hand and let me cry, and say,
"My friend, I really do care."
Author Unknown

To my sister, from heaven.

I just wanted you to know.
That I'll be with you wherever you go.
I've gotten my wings and learned how to fly.
And I'll dry your tears whenever you cry.
Though I've went away and it seems we're apart.
You will forever be my soul and my heart.
The love that we shared will not go astray.
For deep in my heart it will always stay.
You held me close when I was filled with pain.
And your smile gave me sunshine when my life filled with rain.
You guided me when no one else could.
You protected me when no one else would.
We've shared so much that mere words can't express how knowing you has made me feel truly blessed.
So please dear sister, fret not for me, for now my soul is truly free.
So think of me often, as much as you can.
And I'll always be there to hold your hand.
I'll be your angel and guide you through life.
I'll give you comfort through torment and strife.
So thanks dear sister again and again, thank you always for being my sister and my friend.
by Reginald Bush

 
THE BROKEN CHAIN



We little knew the day that
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.


It broke our hearts to lose you,
but in God we put our trust,
In times as difficult as this,
faith is such a must.


You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.


Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
--Ron Tranmer



You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're JUST what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, the trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!!
