God's Garden

God looked around his garden and He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful.
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you where in pain,
He also knew in Heaven you would never hurt again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hill harder to climb.
So, He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace Be Thine".
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
For part of me went with you the day He called you home.
If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane,
I'd walk all the way to heaven and bring you home again.



A gift of love was given,
For just a little while;
A gift of love and laughter,
In a precious little child.

Someone to steal your heart away,
A little hand to hold;
Tiny footprints 'cross your life,
Now left upon your soul.

The echoes of soft laughter,
The sweetness of that face;
The child who brought you so much joy,
Will never be replaced.

So take each loving memory,
Of that precious little child;
In knowing a gift came down from God,
If for just a little while.



Op een wolkje zo hoog
Sitting on a soft cuddly cloud
zit je lekker zacht
very far from here
kijk je naar de regenboog
you're watching the rainbow
de maan die naar je lacht
and the moon that smiles at you
sterretjes blinken om je heen
little stars twinkling
de zon verwarmt je huid
the sun is warming your skin
je bent daarboven niet alleen
you are not alone up there
je bent ons vast vooruit
you are just waiting for us to follow


I am a tiny angel, I'm smaller than your thumb;
I live in some people's pockets, that's where I have my fun.
I don't suppose you've seen me, I'm too tiny to detect;
Though I'm with you all the Time, I doubt we've ever met.

Before I was an Angel ... I was a fairy in a flower;
God, Himself, hand-picked me and gave me Angel power.
Now God has many Angels, that He trains in Angel pools;
We become His eyes, ears and hands, we become His special tools.

And because God is so busy, with way too much to do;
He said that my assignment, is to keep close watch on you.
When He tucked me in you Pocket, He blessed you with Angel care;
Then told me to never leave you, and I vowed always to be there.

Precious Child

Precious little child of mine
You were my sweetest dream
When you took your journey Home
I wonder what was seen

I knew the angels whispered
From the look upon your face
I knew that you were going
To a restful, peaceful place

And while my arms are empty,
My heart is filled with dreams
Of you at peace in Heaven,
That place eyes have never seen

So rest my child in God’s safe arms
Let angels kiss your face
Till then, I hold you in my heart
Till I meet you in that place

God’s garden (Fleetwood mac)
Through the mist I see her face
Looking down on me
Don't know the time, don't know the place
Let her eyes watch over me
She comes in deepest sleep
Can't help but fall at her feet
Won't let her in for all I've seen
This I will take to my grave
I see her walk on water
head held up high
Playing in God's garden
I'll be there to hold you when you cry
The path grown over through the years
Walking on the pain towards my fears
Talking to myself for comforts sake
Holding on so I won't break
Sometimes I hear angels sing
Their tears wash away my sins
Don't know what my destiny will bring
Just spend eternity with me





Pretty flower in my hair, ivory wings tipped with gold
They tell me I'm an angel now, and that I'll not grow old
I've passed through heaven's door and left you all behind
But my memory will live on in every heart and mind

The clouds are my playground now, the rainbow is my slide
I've much more to discover, with angel Gabriel as my guide
I can sit on the moon and see the seasons change below
In the summer I'll send sunshine, in the winter I'll send snow

Every breath of wind you feel is my kiss upon your cheek
And when you're save in bed at night, through the window I will peak
When times get tough, I'll be there to hold your hand
Even though I'm no longer with you, I'm forever yours
