Togetherness
Death is nothing at all ~ I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to
each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy
way in which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at all of the little jokes we
enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word
that it always was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your
mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere
very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One
brief moment and all will be as it was before ~ only better, infinitely happier and
forever we will all be together with Christ...
This is a poem that was sent to me by Betty
This Next Poem was what Johnny Creamer chose
Safely home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright !
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of shade?
Oh, but Jesus ' love illumined
Every darkened fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idle stand;
Do it now, while life remainth---
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh the joy to see you come !

He also chose the midi you are now hearing, Angel Among Us
I was walking home from school
on a cold winter day
took a short cut through the woods
and I lost my way
it was gettin' late
and I was scared and alone
then a kind old man
took my hand and led me home
Momma Couldn't See him,
but he was standin' there
I Knew in my Heart
he was the answer to my prayers
(chorus : )
(oh,) I Believe there are angels among us
sent down to us from some where up above
they come to you and me in our darkest hours
to show us how to live,
to teach us how to give
to guide us with a light of love
when life held troubled times
and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone
to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger
to lend a helping hand
a phone call from a friend
just to say "I understand"
Ain't it kinda funny
at the dark end of the road
someone lights the way with
a single ray of hope
(Repeat Chorus)
(bridge : )
They wear somany faces,
show up in the strangest places,
grace us with their mercies
in our time of need
(Repeat Chorus)
