My dad was a great man. Growing up we didnt have much but he taught me how to be a better person and always be thankful for what you have. My dad was always helping others and always making people laugh. Even on his last day with us he was pulling faces and making jokes with friends and neighbours...thats just how special he was. When he went to sleep he left a big hole that could never be filled or replaced and now I live on remembering him and living the life he wanted me to have and so im going to keep my promises and make him proud. miss you everyday dad and i know ill see you again someday x

Fly away

♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆

Fly away my angel,
Spread your wings and fly;
Take the beauty of your soul,
And share it with the sky.

♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆

Take the warmth within your heart,
And put the sun to shame;
The glow of summer's sunlight.
Will never be the same.

♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆

Take the strength within your soul,
From your heart, the tenderness there;
Behold the majesty of the sky,
Its beauty does not compare.

♥ ☆ ♥ ☆♥ ☆ ♥ ☆

Take the splendour of the stars,
That twinkles in the sky;
It fades in the matchless sparkle,
Of the beauty there in your eyes.

♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆

Fly away my Angel,
For I have set you free;
I will wait here patiently,
Until you fly back to me.

"Hope For An Angel"

I believe in the human need to believe there's hope for an angel
One who's gone, for he had become, in the sky there's space for an angel
Overhead, if you look real hard, you will see that there's millions of angels
One who's gone, for he had become, in the sky there's space for an angel

I believe in the human need to believe there's hope for an angel
One who's gone, for he had become, in the sky there's space for an angel
Into the sky there's a space for an angel
Look to the sky there's a space for an angel

DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO TALK XXX

Do you ever sit in an empty room
do you appreciate an open bloom
do you smell it's sweet perfume

Do you feel the need to 'talk out loud'
but theres no one there to hear
do you hear a voice call out your name
so close up to your ear

Have you ever felt a sudden chill pas by
and the hair on your neck stands up
have you gone to pour a cup of tea
but someone's moved your cup

Do you believe in angels
do they make you smile
have you felt one on each shoulder
as you walk that long wiery mile

Do you know that all these things
are messages to you
do you believe that they exist
i'll tell you.....YES THEY DO

*ღ..If Only..ღ*

How much i want to see you
If only in my dreams
Mend this broken heart of mine
Thats now torn at the seams

*ღ..........*ღ*..........ღ*

Maybe you could hold me
Just for a little while
Take a walk down memory lane
And show me i can smile

*ღ..........*ღ*..........ღ*

If only you could do this
Maybe i wouldnt hurt so much
Am i asking the impossible
I only want to keep in touch

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow
Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...

I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...

I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...

I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...

If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...

Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...

Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.

With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

A Bend In The Road

♥ღ♥ When we feel we have nothing left to give
and we are sure that the song has ended,
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
and the darkness of night has descended,
Where can we go to find the strength
to valiantly keep on trying?
Where can we find the hand that will dry
the tears that the heart is crying?

There's but one place to go and that is to God,
and dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint
and gain strength with Him at our side.
And together we stand at life's crossroads
and view what we think is the end.

But God has a much bigger vision,
and He tells us it's only a bend,
For the road goes on and is smoother,
and the pause in the song is a rest,
And the part that's unsung and unfinished
is the sweetest and richest and best.

So rest and relax and grow stronger
let go and let God share your load.
Your work is not finished or ended
you've just come to a bend in the road ♥ღ♥

with lots of love theresa xxx
