The best and most beautiful things
in the world cannot be seen or
even touched. They must be felt
with the heart.
Helen Keller
Occasionally we are graced with the presence of
an earthbound angel. They are unable to stay with
us for long, but while they do, they bring
unprecedented joy and happiness to all they touch.
While they are here, we bask in their goodness
and marvel at their contribution to the world.
When they leave we are left with the devastation
that comes with losing.
Such a wonderful being ...but we must remember...
the earthbound angels are not ours to keep. They are ours to enjoy, learn from, and behold until they
return home.

In the Silence
In the silence, Mom, you hear me
In the silence I am here
In the silence you can feel me
In the silence it is clear
That my spirit hasn´t left you
I´m just a thought away
You can see me in the shadows
Anytime you look my way
Look for me in the sunshine
And in the stars at night
In the wind, trees and flowers
Everything that is in sight
Talk to me, say my name
Know that I´m still here
In my death I have new life
And one day it will be clear
So talk to me and look for me
In everything you do
For I really haven´t gone so far
I´m really right next to you.
