You are cordially invited

to attend the Angel Ball,

Where all the Angels gather

the most angelic of them all.

Dressed up in their fine white gowns

with their halo's to behold,

starlight glistening in their hair

wings twinkling with gold.

They gather round in circles

in the softly glowing light,

dancing on their tip toes

spreading love throughout the night.

They cast their loving wishes

throughout this planet earth,

for happiness, hope and joy

and prayers for good health.

You are cordially invited

to attend the Angel Ball,

'cause,my friend,you are...

the most angelic of them all.

THE HEALING GARDEN

This is my healing garden

where loving care resides,

everyone's always welcome here

so please do come inside.

Know that you have friends here

that really truly care,

and will listen to your troubles

with sympathetic ears.

We are here to comfort you

our feelings most sincere,

with loving care within our hearts

we'll put away your fears.

We'll teach you how to understand

to let hate and anger go,

and let the sadness and the pain

When you let the sadness slide

and let your heart forgive,

and accept the life God gave to you

then you have learned to live.

Welcome to my garden friend

where healing hearts reside,

it doesn't matter who you are

Letters From Our Angelic Readers

I went to your site today and I loved it! I'm always touched by poems about angels.
I wrote my own, here it is:

Angel
When I'm sad and lonely,
And want to be alone,
I feel that there's an angel,
Right inside my home.
He makes his home inside my heart,
And never fails to lift me up,
When I fall into the dark.
Because this angel cares for me,
I can't help but say,
I'm glad this angel cares for me,
"Let me keep this angel",
To my God I pray.

~Ashley M.

Shari...your web page about the 'friend you lost' was nice; special... And if you don't mind...may I pass on a little story. It always reminds me of this when someone says they 'lost' a loved one thru death. I was watching the Jerry Lewis telethon and the parents were talking about a child they had 'lost' to MS..and their little son, about 6-7 that was standing there with them...tugged at his mother and said 'Mom, we didnt lose him, we KNOW where he is" ....

A STORY TO LIVE BY

by Ann Wells (Los Angeles Times)

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. "This," he said, "is not a slip. This is lingerie." He discarded the tissue and handed me the slip. It was exquisite; silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. The price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is the occasion." He took the slip from me and put it on the bed wit the other clothes we were taking to the mortician. His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer shut and turned to me. "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."

I remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when I helped him and my niece attend to all the sad chores that follow an unexpected death. I thought about them on the plane returning to California from the Midwestern town where my sister's family lives. I thought about all the things that she hadn't seen or heard or done. I thought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special. I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my life. I'm reading more and dusting less. I'm sitting on the deck and admiring the view without fussing about the weeds in the garden. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savor, not endure. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them. I'm not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event-such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom. I wear my good blazer to the market if I feel like it. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out $28.49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as well as my party-going friends'.

"Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I'm not sure what my sister would have done had she known that she wouldn't be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted. I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food. I'm guessing - I'll never know. It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew that my hours were limited. Angry because I put off seeing good Friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write-one of these days. Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them. I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that it is special. Every day, every minute, every breath truly is...a gift.

MY ANGEL FRIEND

by Shari

April, one of the prettiest months of the year, brings April showers to nourish the earth and bring new life to nature. It was great to see the rains because we certainly did need them. April also brings spring weddings and everyone always hopes for a pretty sunny day for the ceremony. Eighteen months ago, my dear friend was planning her daughter's wedding. Rushing to insure that the church would be available as well as the reception hall, the band, the caterers etc. Everything needed to be spoken for a year in advance. A few months later she was diagnosed with cancer and 9 months later she died from that cancer. The one thing that she wanted most was that the wedding would go on as scheduled. The family honored her request and recently I had the honor of attending her daughter's wedding. Rains and storms were forecast for the entire week and we had rain and storms all week long. My friend's husband and daughter went every week to the grave site and on the last visit before the wedding, asked my friend if she would ask God for just one perfect day for the wedding. On the morning of the wedding, despite the forecast for more rain, the sun came out, the temperatures warmed and it became a picture perfect day. It wasn't til after midnight that the rains moved back in. I don't know whether it was just the weatherman being wrong or whether it was a prayer answered. A prayer answered by an angel that I had the priveledge of calling friend.

LOVE

"Spread love everywhere you go. First of all in your own house. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting." Mother Theresa

A FRIEND

A friend is one you grow to love, trust, honor and cherish..A friend is one who will treat you the same. A friend is one who loves to share, even the smallest of things A friend is one to cheer you up, when you are feeling down A friend is one who makes you feel wanted A friend is you my friend !

A ROSE

A Rose is a Rose, it withers and dies

A friendship needs love in order to thrive

A true friend is one who stands by your side

In the happiest of days, and when you have cried

So let your friends know that you will be there

And show them that you really do care.

A HUG

A hug is two arms wrapped around you tight,

A hug is a squeeze in the middle of nite.

A hug is a sign of affection and love,

A hug is a sign from the heavens above.

A hug is a thing that everyone needs,

When you give a hug you plant a seed.

The seeds of hope and love and joy,

belong to every man,woman,girl and boy.

MY FRIEND

You're important to me. Life is very short, and we are fragile creatures. Our hearts were meant to be filled with love, not hate; joy and not sorrow.So please, stop today and take the time to tell just one person that your life is better because they are a friend!

WORDS OF WISDOM

To handle yourself, use your head;

To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;

If he betrays you twice, it's your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.

God gives every bird it's food,

But he does not throw it into it's nest.

He who loses money, loses much;

He who loses a friend, loses more;

He who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,

But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others.

You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

The tongue weighs practically nothing,

But so few people can hold it.

A FRIEND IS A TREASURE

A friend is someone we turn to, When our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure, For our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives, With beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the world we live in, A better and happier place.

FRIENDSHIP IS...

Friendship is a strange thing....we find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives...things we don't even share with our families who raised us...But what is a friend? A confidant? A lover? A fellow email junkie? A shoulder to cry on? An ear to listen?A heart to feel?...A friend is all these things...and more. No matter where we met,....I call you friend. A word so small...yet so large in feeling...a word filled with emotion. It is true great things come in small packages.

Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed...it is a constant book always written...waiting to be read...and enjoyed. We may have our disagreements...we may argue...we may concern one another... friendship is a unique bond that lasts through it all.... A part of me is put into my friends...some it is my humor...some it is my listening ear...some it is real life experiences...some it is my romanticism...but with all, it is friendship. Friendships forged are a construct stronger than steel built as a foundation....necessary for life...and necessary for love. Friends, you and me.... you brought another friend... and then there were 3... we started our group... Our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end..........

A DAISY CHANGE

How do we go out and face the world is the same question as how do we pick our friends?. . . .

dearly, like gems, carefully, like flowers. The moments we remember best stay with us like a daisy-chain;

like a necklace made of flowers, worn with familiarity and love, and close to the heart. We arrange

them until they become something beautiful and walk out into the world holding hands.

Thanks Jac

I CARE

If things should seem a little "unbearable",

Remember to just hang in there Because

I am YOUR friend And I really and truly do care!

A GOOD FRIEND

Some people come into our lives and quickly go..

Some people become friends and stay a while...

leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts...

and we are ~ never ~ quite the same because

we have made a good friend!!

Thanks to all my dear Friends for their poetry!

THOUGHTS OF FAITH AND LOVE

~It seems as if I've loved you forever. Maybe I have. Maybe we met In some other time Where our lives touched This closely before... All I know for sure Is this certainty inside me... That we are Meant for each other- Now and Always.~

~I may be able to do a lot of things for myself... but there's a special place in my life that only you can fill... I'll Always Need You. I'll Always Love You.~

~We may never learn All there is to know About Love... But every day together Will teach us A little more about Ourselves.... And the special kind Of happiness We can bring To each other. I'm glad I'm learning About Love with You!~

~A loving smile, a helping hand, the kind words people say, the simplest kinds of pleasures... these make a happy day. And then just knowing every day... the one you love is near to share life's simple pleasures... this makes a happy year.~

~Somebody loves you Far more than you know With a love that keeps growing As days come and go... Somebody needs you To make life worthwhile Needs your warm touch And the joy of your smile.~

~A good friend is someone to do nothing much with and find "nothing much" so much fun. A good friend is talking and talking about everything under the sun. A good friend is someone who really is glad when you've worked for and won a success, Someone you don't have to be on your guard with or be what you aren't to impress. A good friend is so many wonderful someones all mixed in a marvelous blend Of memory making, of giving and taking, a "now and forever" Good Friend.~

~You're my friend... the one I turn to when I need somebody there to laugh with and to talk with, to understand and care.~

~There are hugs that say I like you and I hold your friendship dear. There are hugs that say "good going" you deserve a great big cheer. There are hugs that say goodbye, good luck in all that lies ahead. There are hugs that say I love you when no other words are said. There are hugs that soothe and say to us you're free from cares and harms. The kind of hug we feel when God holds us within His arms.~
.

~Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind... It Does Not Envy,It Does Not Boast, It Is Not Proud... It Is Not Rude, It Is Not Self-Seeking... It Is Not Easily Angered...It Keeps No Record Of Wrongs... Love Does Not Delight In Evil But Rejoices With The Truth... It Always Protects... Always Trusts... Always Hopes... Always Preserves... Love Never Fails...~

~1 Corinthians 13:4-8~

~Happiness is something that is never far away It's as close as the things we do and say. So start out the day with a smile on your face, And make this world a happier place.~

~Praying the Lord will tenderly guide and strengthen you, and bless you with all the things He knows you need.~

~Thank you for yesterday, today and always... For bringing me happiness right from the start and offering me both your love and your heart, For being so thoughtful in all that you do, overlooking my faults, Understanding me too~

~Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.~1 Corinthians 13:7-8

~There is nothing that means more to me Than the joys of life you've helped me see With your openness and honesty... You will always have my love~

~Because you are so dear a friend, your cares are my cares too, And so as sorrow fills your heart, my heart goes out to you, And though my words cannot begin to ease the loss you bear, I only hope it helps somehow, to know how much I care~

~It's difficult at such a time To find the words that say The things that one can only hope Will comfort you today, But may it help a bit to know That there are near at hand Those who keep you Close in thought, Those who understand~

~Hope knowing that you're thought of In a very special way Will add an extra little bit Of sunshine to your day!~

MEMORY OF ANGELS

Standing in solitude on a silent beach, Facing the brilliant sun, gleaming on its quiet waves.

Sends a warmth through my body and Fills my soul with radiance, pureness, and harmony.

Closing my eyes, gazing at the sunbeams that descend from heaven.

Peace be with me, I think. I dream. I wish, Like a shooting star twinkling on a beautiful summer's night.

Opening my arms as though welcoming a heavenly angel I find comfort in the warmth and fantasy of a dream,

Dreaming of the serenity of His arms, being comforted in tranquillity.

Never in my life have I ever felt such peace and warmth,Feeling it last for a few seconds in reverie,

Wishing it last forever. In memory only. Could this be only an illusion?
