Living In Your Afterglow
The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their loved one Treat them with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, when you turn and they arent there. Memory is life's sweetest gift, Please, God, forgive a silent tear, A fervent wish OUR ERIN was here. There are others, yes I know, But she was ours, we loved her so, Dear God, take a message, To our angel in Heaven above, Tell her how much we miss her, And give her all our love. A million times I've needed you, A million times I've cried, If love could have saved you Erin, You never would have died. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, Our lovely angel..we love you, In a very special way. If we could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, We'd pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you. If I had all the world to give, I’d give it, yes, and more, To hear Erins voice, see her smile, And greet her at the door. But all I can do,Darling angel Is go and tend your grave, And leave behind tokens of love I like to think when life is done, Wherever heaven may be, She’ll be standing at the door Up there to welcome me. Life is a beautiful memory, Her death is a silent grief; She sleep's in God's beautiful garden, In sunshine of perfect peace, We miss her oh so much, But realize God knew best, He let us have her many years, Then gently bid her rest What we'd give if we could say, Hello, Erin, in the same old way; To hear your voice, and see your smile, To sit with you and chat awhile, So if you who have a daughter, Cherish her with care, For you'll never know the heartache, Till you see that they arent here
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you." It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me. I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.
No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.
I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.
When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.
Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.
And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.
For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight I received your Letter from Heaven,
It made the teardrops fall.
But knowing you’re with God above,
Sweet memories, I will recall.
I know that you are with me,
For I feel your presence near.
And if I listen closely,
Your voice I then can hear. I know you’re watching o’er me,
As you promised you would do.
And when I feel so saddened,
It’s your letter that sees me through.
When I lay in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
I truly feel your presence,
Like a warm and glowing light.
The rocky roads you mentioned,
And the hills that I must climb;
I’ve done exactly what you said,
By taking one day at a time.
I’ve tried to help others,
Who are in sorrow and in pain.
And now I am contented,
My day was not in vain.
I’ll lend a hand, as you have said
When someone is feeling low.
I’ll pray for them and be here,
‘Till on their way they go. And when it’s time for me to go,
To join you in heaven high.
My wings I shall spread wide,
To my home up in the sky. My Dear loved ones,
These words I wish to say,
I went home to be with Jesus,
And here is where I'll stay.
My pain and struggle is over;
I'll rest in peace today.
Although I know you'll grieve for me,
Be strong, for it's okay.
I’m now at home in Heaven,
Where there's everlasting light.
I'm in the arms of Jesus,
Holding on to me so tight.
Please try to carry on your life,
For there's still work to be done.
Someday you'll be rewarded
And meet God's only son. He came Himself to meet me,
Oh what a glorious sight!
When He put His arms around me,
And I saw a beaming light. When your life on earth is over,
Then He will call you home.
It's then you will truly see,
The joy that's yet to come. When we have frustrations
And answers seem out of sight,
Take the time to look above,
For God is our shining light.
When mountains seem impossible
For you to make that climb,
Remember just to look above,
For He's there all the time. When you awake at morning’s light
And your worries seem to begin,
Just look outside your window
And let God take charge within. Talk to Him and let Him know,
And soon you shall find,
That God is looking out for you
He knows what’s on your mind.
You can say goodbye to worry,
Just look above and pray,
For God will see your tears,
And rescue you today. Have faith in Him, and never doubt
The power from up above.
No one in this entire world,
Will show you so much love.
Look upward and above,
To the skies ever so blue.
It's then you will realize,
God’s there for me and you. THANKS TO ALL THE ANGEL FAMILIES WHO STOP BY TO REMEMBER OUR ANGEL ERIN CHENOWETH WHO WILL BE FOREVER LOVED AND MISSED BY HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVE
