Have You Ever Seen An Angel......
Have you ever seen an Angel
Spread their wings and take to flight
Have you heard The Angel’s Choir
Sing Amazing Grace and Silent Night
Have you felt the warmth of stars
As they light up the whole sky
Have you Felt the Hand of Jesus
As he touches you and I
Have you ever felt white light
As it fills your soul with Love
Goodnight nan
Goodnight nan x
The time has come,
To lay you to rest,
But I know in my heart,
God only takes the best
You were always there,
To lend a shoulder and dry my tears,
To comfort me in everything,
And to help conquer my fears
In my heart, there will always be
The Fourteenth
Friday, the 14th of November
Eight months to the day
you were just doing your job
When you were taken so tragically
Getting home to see your daughter
Most likely was in your thoughts
The candle on the mantel
Tonight might be your first candle lighting or you may have been to so many that you cannot remember them all. Either way for me every one has been and is special. I have been where I had no hope and I have been to ones where I was full of hope.
You Are So Brave
In the beginning of my grief I would cringe when someone would say “You are being so brave.” I wasn’t being brave, I was putting on a face through my work day. I was putting on a face to my family and closest friends so I would not be a burden. Half of them did not even know or understand the internal warfare that was going on inside me, which still goes on inside me.
Grief is Taboo
Even though the sadness, I see the beauty. Nothing will ever be as it once was as what was known means something different now. Everything turned upside down and became a world of contradictions. Opposites. Ying became Yang. What was once held as true became false, blue became red. That is the confusion of the world where we live. I was told I have a darkness in me and it is horrible and evil.
