Standing at Heaven's Gate

Life on earth is heaven's stairway

Every one has their share of pain

Things don't always seem to go our way

Joy is ours, with each step we gain

Everyone that we meet

Everyone that we greet

All have something for us

In this you must trust

It is God's Plan that teaches us

In Him we must place out trust

Even in our time of sorrow

He gives to us the right to borrow

From all we meet there are many gifts

Things to make us happy and give us all lifts

So instead of seeing what are other's faults

Look for the gifts placed in their vaults

A vault is where stored valuables are

So dig deep,  but you need not look far

The soul and heart are the gifts from God

He's placed them there with his golden rod

Feel free to take all that you need

Never forgetting in God's Creed

Remember these gifts are only for borrow

To help you through your place of sorrow

Take them one or take them all

Please don't trip or please don't fall

Remember always gifts are for keeping

It sometimes prevents us from weeping

With your sack full as you go out the door

You must leave two things or more

When you borrow, you must bring back

Remember this when you've filled your sack

Now you must use the gifts you've taken

Remember this each day as you awaken

Everybody needs these gifts God's given

It's God way and our reason for living

For every gift we take and share

We've climbed yet another stair

We were all born to do God's bidding

It is another reason for living

When our task for him is complete

We've met and learned from all we meet

We lived and handled all our pain

Another stair we will have gained

When we give back more than we borrow

Then we will have no more sorrow

We will have climbed that last step

Forgetting all the tears we wept

Joy will be ours, Our hearts all pure

Halo's handed out, of this I am sure

We will have no more time to wait

We will be Standing at Heaven's Gate

Angel's Whispers

In everyone's heart, there is a special place.

A place shared and in the state of grace.

Whispers are not heard by all, nor are they recognized.

Until the touching of the souls, do we become wise.

BUT when the angel's whispers are heard by all,

From the state of grace, we will never fall.

Angel Wings Wrap Around YOU

May God's Hands be on your shoulder

as you grow ill or much older.

To know that you are never alone

One day He will take you Home.

We may feel sad or even depressed

'Cause we can't do as all the rest.

Just remember, my sweet friend

Everything must come to an end.

Even in our suffering and our pain

We know we will never be the same.

Never give up ! Just do what you must.

Just give it to God, in Him place your trust.

Be Happy that He has faith in you.

He has much more for you to do.

Show the world and the people everywhere.

It is the Heart that we must take good care.

A loving heart is worth more than gold,

It reaches into your very soul.

No matter the pain we go thru,

Giving a smile is something you Can do.

When you smile, it comes back to you.

Then you will forget, what you can't do.

So just leave a smile everywhere you go

Forget all your troubles and woe.

Then you will feel the warmth I do.

When, Angel Wings Wrap Around YOU.
