POEMS
Their Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of them as gone away, their journey has just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one.
Just think of them as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years.
Think of how they must be wishing that we could know, today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of them as living in the hearts of those they touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and they were loved so much.

Daddy, I'm An Angel Now
The following poem was left at the memorial to Dylan Groene in Montana
One night I cried to Jesus, as I sat beneath the tree. I looked into the open sky, and hoped He'd answer me.
"I'm lost, dear Lord, I've traveled far... but still I seem to roam. Please light the way and lead me, Lord; I need to get back home."
I told Him of my burdens, and of the sadness in my heart-- That from His gracious love, I'd never felt so far apart.
"Why did You take my child, Lord? I cannot understand! No longer can I touch his face, or hold his tiny hand.
I'm angry, Lord, I'm missing him. I'm drowning in my sorrow. Please help me heal my yesterday, and face each new tomorrow."
It was then I heard his gentle voice, and felt his presence near. How I wanted so to hold him, as I cried another tear...
He said, "Daddy I'm an angel now; my spirit will be free. I'm an angel now in heaven, so please don't cry for me.
I was chosen by our Lord above, and now I'm in His care. When you need me, look inside your heart-- I promise to be there.
No one can ever take away our bond with one another. For I'll always be your precious child, as you will be my father.
So if you cannot find your way, or the road to home seems far, Just look up to the Heavens, and I'll be your guiding star." He said, "Daddy, I'm an angel now; my spirit will be free. I'm an angel now in heaven-- no need to cry for me."

Only The Best
A heart of gold stopped beating, two shining eyes at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day He took you home.
To some you are forgotten, to others just part of the past, but to us who loved and lost you, the memory will always last.
