I wish it was me!!!

This Basket Of Burdens
â’¸ Debbie

My Basket of burdens
Is filled with the grief of my loss
It is so heavy to carry
Although this road I must cross.

This pathway through life
Feels unbearable at times
And I don’t have the strength
For this mountain I climb.

The Basket’s filled with sorrow
Oh, how I miss my love
At first,
It’s impossible to carry,
Where is my help from above?

It’s draining my strength
I can’t do anymore
This pain goes so deep
Right down to my core.

As I carry this Basket
I’ll learn to manage the weight
Each step of the way
Will become easier they say.

But how do they know,
Have they been here before?
If so, where’s their Basket
They’re responsible for?

This Basket of burdens
You can’t see and can’t touch
I carry it inside me
This pain is too much.

Patience is needed to carry
This loss that I feel
A shoulder to lean on
So, someday I will heal.

God sent my family
My friends and spirits unknown
So, I won’t carry this Basket
Forever alone

Someday,
I’ll lay down my Basket
With burdens’ no more
My pain will be gone
When, I cross through that door

Then I’ll know reason
For my Basket of Burdens
How God showed me His grace
When I couldn’t cope with the season

Love and support that He gave
When His presence felt unknown
He was with me each step
When I felt so alone.

For My Family (Suicide)

Dont Judge me how i left this world, remember the love i gave.
A Lot of grief will follow for the decision that i made.
Changes appear in everyones Life, Some good and some bad.
The one i chose for myself made everyone else Sad.
But in time the memories will heal the hurt of Hearts
And my prescence will be felt by all with an inner peace
Remember me when the sun is bright and laughter fils the air
And a moonlit Night and a whisper of wind will tell you that i'm there
Dont Look Down on Others or fill their hearts with Blame
For My Leaving Them without Goodbyes has left them so much pain.
If i could go Back in Time, i would say a Last Goodbye.
I would tell them to look to tomorrow, and for me,
'Please Dont Cry'

OUR ANGELS

It only takes a thought and
our angels will be there,
For although we can not see them,
We are always in their care.

If we ask our angel
In a thought or a prayer
To come and stand beside us,
Our angel will be there.

Trust in your angel
and you will surely find,
That you'll feel loved
and protected
And will have peace of mind.

i could not stay

Iam sorry that i couldn't stay
i wanted to you know,but my time
on earth had ended,so god said i had to go
do you know that i still love you?
do you know that i still care?
just because you can't seee me,
doesn't mean i am not there,
i will be there in the darkness
i will be there in the rain
i'll be there when your happy
i will be there through the pain
death can not destroy the bond god as made
or the love that we still share.our hopes
our dreams,our thoughts are one
trust your hearts and know i am there.so keep
the faith,don't give up hope one day you'll
understand,god is still great god is still good
now live the life planned
a bond unspoken can never be broken
it's a mere token of our love so unil we meet again
i love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

EYES ARE THE WINDOW OF THE SOUL....

LOOK INTO MY EYES THEY ARE SO FULL OF PAIN
MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME EVER AGAIN
THEY SAY THE EYES ARE THE WINDOW OF THE SOUL
WELL THAT MUST BE TRUE BECAUISE I WILL NEVER BE WHOLE

I AM HALF THE PERSON I USED TO BE RIGHT NOW
THOUGH I STILL HAVE TO CARRY ON SOME HOW
JUST BECAUSE THIS IS ALWAYS EXPECTED OF ME
WELL THEY CAN FORGET IT NOW SON I WANT TO BE FREE

FREE FROM THE PAIN THE HURT THAT I HIDE
I JUST WANT TO BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
I CANNOT CARRY ON WITHOUT YOU ALL HERE
I NEED TO FEEL YOU CLOSE BY MY SIDE AND NEAR

THE HAPPINESS IS IN THE PAST........

I HAVE TO DO THIS WITH A HEAVY HEART
FOR MY DARLING SON WE ARE TOO FAR APART
I HAVE NO CHOICE RIGHT NOW TO STAND AND FIGHT
FOR EVERYTHING I BELIEVE AND EVERYTHING THAT IS RIGHT

PLEASE DO NOT WORRY I KNOW ME AND RIGHT FROM WRONG
I WISH I HAD YOU BY MY SIDE WHERE YOU WILL ALWAYS BELONG
I DO NOT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK OF ME ANYMORE
MY HEART REMAINS CLOSED NO-ONE WILL EVER OPEN THE DOOR

YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY FAR TOO SOON FROM US ALL
I AM STILL SEARCHING FOR THOSE HAPPY MEMORIES
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SO HARD FOR ME TO RECALL
I HAVE FOUND IT SO HARD BECAUSE OUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO LAST
BUT HAPPINESS IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A THING OF THE PAST

You were a precious gift from God above,
so much beauty, grace and love.
You touched our hearts in so many ways,
your smile so bright even on the bad days.
You heard God's whisper calling you home,
you didn't want to go and leave us alone.
You loved us so much, you held on tight,
till all the stregnth was gone and you could no longer fight.
He had called your name,
you knew you couldn't make him wait anymore.
So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,
knowing that with our love we will be together again some day.

MISS YOU ANGEL XXXXXXXXXX

i found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin i found
pennies come from heaven
that's what my dad told me
he said angels toss them down
oh, how i loved this story
he said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That Paul has tossed to you
love and thought to you always
god bless.

***THE GARDEN OF PROMISE***
There is a place, I have been told,
Beyond an open gate
All have been invited
Where friends and loved ones wait

It holds eternal promise
Of everlasting peace
No pain or sorrow ever comes
And teardrops there have ceased

Abundant life is evident
Constant, fresh and new
A garden of provision
With eternity in view

The promise is awaiting
A place we can abide
Fulfilled for all who answer
The call to come inside.
SWEET DREAMS ANGEL
