Adriana´s Mission
Well, that´s what happened Down There.
That´s how I delivered the message and I´m
sure they got it. They learned, for one thing,
that there are many mansions, or rooms, in
Your earthly house - that there is a room for
the strong and a room for the sick, a room
for the healthy and a room for the weak,
a room for those born with ten talents and
a room for those with only one, a room for the
rich and a room for the poor. A room for
everyone and something for them to do in
that room. In Your house Down There are
many rooms, where we study and teach
and get ready to move into the big light room
Up There. I did pretty well in that room
in my little house. I taught them to see
purpose in pain and messages on the crosses
they carry around. I touched many people,
didn´t I ? Even my doctor as I made him
to think and be a better doctor with
every patient he has from now. Mommy and
Daddy had done the right thing in keeping
me at home, loving me like they had.
They´re a lot stronger since
they got the message. There´s a new glory
inside them and on everything all around them.
They´ve made up their minds and the sun is a lot brighter since I stopped off there for a while.
That´s what happened Down There.
By Dale E. Rogers
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the swift uplifting rush
or quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.
When I´m gone release me,
please just let me go.
You must not suffer for my loss
or bother with the tears.
Just be grateful we shared all this time.
I gave you my love
and you can only guess
how in return you gave me
so much happiness.
I thank you for the love
each of you have shown.
But now it´s time I traveled,
went on ahead alone.
So grieve awhile for me,
if grieve you must.
But know that I am now
with the Lord I trust.
It´s only for a while
that we must apart.
I am there in the memories
encased within your heart.
It won´t be far for life
will go on some.
When you need me, call me,
and I will come.
You won´t see me, not touch me,
but I´ll be near.
Never too far to comfort your hurt
or a tear.
Listen to your heart,
my whispers you will hear.
All my love around you,
soft and near.
When the time has come
to make your way alone,
I´ll greet, smile and whisper...
"Welcome home".

She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray
that she´ll come back
or you can open your eyes and see
all she has left.
Your heart can be empty
because you can´t see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow
and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow
because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only see
that she is gone
or you can cherish her memory
and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she´d want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
