He's been gone for years.

He can not be seen but he's still here.

He is the sunshine that warms my skin.

He is the whispering of the wind.

He is a shadow on the ground.                                                              

He is the sunset that paints the sky pretty colors.                        

He is the flowers in my neighbors yard.

He is the rain that falls on hot summer days.

He is a bird that flies by my window, so wild and free.

He is the dew on a leaf.

He is the stars at night shining oh so bright.

He is the beauty of the colors on the trees in the fall and the sparkling snow in the winter.

He is the first blossom in the springtime.

He is the laughter of my children, the dimple on my daughters cheek.

He is the tears that stream down my face at the end of the day.

He is the pain in my heart that won't go away.

He is as much a part of my life as the beating of my heart.

Mostly he is our Guardian Angel.

Always there!

All you have to do is take a look around.

      "Time will ease the hurt"

The sadness of the present days

is locked and set in time,

and moving to the future

is a slow and painful climb.

But all the feelings that are now

so vivid and so real

can't hold thier fresh intensity

as time begins to heal.

No wound so deep will ever go          

entirely away;

yet every hurt becomes

a little less from day to day.

Nothing can erase the painful

imprints on your mind;

But there are softer memories

that time will let you find.

Though your heart won't let the sadness

simply slide away.

The echoes will diminish

even though the memories stay.

~  Bruce B. Wimer~

A message from Heaven

I am not far from you.

Just a little beyond.

Past the cares and past the pain.

Far past my earthly bonds.

When you feel you miss me most.

As years go drifting by.

Each memory will prove to you that our love will never die.

For memories are but a touch

from the fathers gentle hand

to heal your pain and mend your hearts.

To help you understand.

That while I left you far too soon.

I did not leave alone.

For the father sent his angels to gently take me home.

Take comfort when you think of me.

Keep my love alive in your heart.

And with the warmth of each memory

we will never be apart.

                    Angel Kisses

It's my selfishness that makes me cry.

I wasn't ready to say goodbye.

I wasn't ready to let you go.

I pray you know, I loved you so.

It's me not you who suffers here.

I know your life goes on, somewhere.

I know that I should celebrate.

You've walked through Heaven's glorious gate.

But , still I can't stop thinking of your smile, your touch, your special love.

I know that you hear what I say.

It's just done in a different way.

And, so I want to send you this

to you, the one I love and miss.

All my love upon an Angel's kiss.
