A Walk In My Garden



O, come stroll in my beauty,
Sniff the fragrance of my air,
Come pause at my fountain,
Enjoy all without care.

Peer into my gazer,
Mirrored images so bright:
My purpleleaf plum tree,
Even roses at night.

See the cross on Mount Helix,
The Lagunas afar,
Hear the whir of my hummingbird
Greeting morning's last star.

Linger 'neath my tall willow,
Showing grace in her style,
Drink deep of the moment,
No matter the while.

Then visit Fat Buddha
To offer a prayer
Giving thanks in enchantment
Of life everywhere.

'Cause a walk in my garden,
'Tis said and 'tis true ,
Refreshes the soul
For God walks here, too.

There's Sunshine in the sea
It's looking at me
There's Sunshine in the car
As we travell far
The Sunshine looks at me

There's Sunshine in the garden
And it's like it say's pardon
There's Sunshine in the house
Its a quiet as a mouse
The Sunshine looks at me

The Sunshine everywhere
Even in your hair
And it's all thanks to God
Without snapping a rod
The Sunshine loves me

BUTTERFLY WISHES Yesterday a butterfly
Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear.

I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
To fly up toward the summer sun.

But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven't wings, just these two arms.
I've been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground."

Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.

He said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish it's mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.

I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven't arms, just these two wings."

And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through someone else's eyes. love always gail & carla.XXX

SHINING STAR IN THE SKY I’m the shining star in the sky



I’m impossible to miss



I have a place in heaven



It’s the reason I exist







God created me special



To illuminate your life



To bring you joy and hope



In a world that’s full of strife

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR

Twinkle,twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is set,
And the grass with dew is wet,
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark.
How could he see where to go
If you did not twinkle so?

In the dark-blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut an eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

God's Garden

THE Lord God planted a garden
In the first white days of the world,
And He set there an angel warden
In a garment of light enfurled.


So near to the peace of Heaven,
That the hawk might nest with the wren,
For there in the cool of the even
God walked with the first of men.
And I dream that these garden-closes
With their shade and their sun-flecked sod
And their lilies and bowers of roses,
Were laid by the hand of God.

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,--
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.

ANGEL Angel by my side
Through my life you gently guide
One of God's helpers from above
So gentle kind and full of love.
With my life you come to share
Thou often I forget you're there
Angel Angel by my side
Through my life you gently glide. LOVE ALWAYS GAIL & CARLA.XXX

BUTTERFLIES FROM HEAVEN

When we lose our loved ones they never die
For I know once heaven takes their souls
The Dear Lord leaves a little of them here
To turn into beautiful butterflies
So they can be near our hearts

Blessed are those who can see the beauty
Of the life which has gone to what is "God's Art"
When we look for the angels
They will send us Jesus' love
I saw a butterfly today, my last prayer I gave away


Heaven is more than souls of our loved ones
When a father, mother, a brother, sister or a child dies
Their hearts live in those who have loved them
Every grain of sand, every sunrise and sunset
All the good things we know and love
They all go to Jesus for Him to protect


As a gift, The Lord, lets us have a glimpse of those we love
For a brief moment in time, for a short while
A butterfly is seen at our window, sent from heaven
Then we know, all will be well with those we love.
LOVE ALWAYS GAIL & CARLA XXX

A ANGELS KISS FROM HEAVEN an angels kiss We go through life so often
Not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted
As we travel on our way.

We never stop to measure
Anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss

A kiss that is sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above,
A kiss that is very special
From someone that you love.

For in your pain and sorrow
An Angel's kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private
For it is meant for only you.

So when your hearts are heavy
and filled with tears and pain,
and no one can console you
Remember once again...

About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze You took for granted
Was just...An Angel's Kiss
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH YESTERDAY FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT ON MY MUMS BIRTHDAY FOR ALL THE LOVELY PICTURES & TRIBUTES THERE GREAT LOVE GAIL & CARLA.XXX

Friends Poem


Friends Eternal

You're a true friend,
that I want you to know,
Our love for each other
has helped us to grow.
We've been through some tough times,
but we've made it through,
The only one I ever trusted was you.

You helped me through anger,
you've chased away fears.
You held me through sadness,
and kissed away tears.

You stayed by my side
when the world turned away.
You helped me see joy
when the skies were all gray.

You were the rainbow
at the end of the storm.
You help me be different
when I shouldn't conform.THANKS FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR US LOVE TO YOU & YOUR ANGEL LOVE GAIL & CARLA.XXX
