The obituary notice of Teresa TARRY

Waiting in Heaven

I'll wait patiently here in heaven
For the day that you make your presence.
A transcendental get-together
That'll last till the end of forever.

Where angels care for God's Golden Fleece
O'er those at rest in heavenly peace.
It's true without a shadow of doubt
The light flowed in as my life ebbed out.

Don't be sad for what came to pass.
Be glad for the precious time we had,
Memoirs of beautiful forget-me-nots
Tied with ribbons in true lover's knots.

Now I'm here with the Lord at my side
In heaven's celestial paradise.
Have no more worries or fear for me.
All is as it was promised to be.

In the distance hear my voice calling
Through the birdsong in every morning.
See me in the moon and stars at night
For there my love shines ever bright.

Smell me in the fragrant sweet perfume
Of roses when they begin to bloom.
Feel me in the warmth of summer sun.
Hold me in your dreams when day is done.

Remember, I'll wait beyond the bend
To meet and greet where the rainbow ends.

Birthday

Your birthday is here again,
but in heaven you will be.
I will celebrate your special day
visiting you and your memories.

You are now another year older;
this will never show on your face.
In heaven you are ageless,
as this is your magical place.

We call out your precious name
and send balloons up to the sky.
We watch them fade into the clouds.
The wind has sent them up high.

We hope you have a party up there
with the balloons we sent to you.
Presents to open from the angels
and a cake with some candles too!

We will sing you Happy Birthday,
but we try not to shed a tear
as this should be a happy day
we will celebrate each year.

Valentine


Did I forget you, Valentine?
Did I not say, "Will you be mine?"
The words were not spoken, that is true,
And I'm very sorry I made you blue.
But you should know you are my one true love,
My angel sent from God above.
Even when we're not together, we're not apart,
Because you are always with me in my heart.
So I ask you now, "Will you be mine?"
Will you forever be my Valentine?

So Lucky Are The Angels

Since you're gone, Christmas time will never be the same.
When asked what I wish for, I can only speak your name.
The only gift I ever want at Christmas time for me
Is my precious Tazzy beside my Christmas tree.
And as the world rejoices with songs of Christmas cheer,
I'll gently hold your memories close and wipe my Christmas tear.
So lucky are the angels to have you up above,
Right beside their Christmas tree; my Tazzy's their gift to love!

11 Years on

How is time passing
When all I am doing is wishing
That you were by my side?

How is time passing
When I am floating
Through the empty skies?

How is time passing
When I am not living,
But rather existing to survive?

I want it to stop.
I want people to stop.
I want time to stop.

Time continues,
But WE continue,
Not I,
Not me,
Rather we.

I will live with you
And for you
And enjoy life before you and your watchful eyes.

Maybe I'm lucky,
Maybe you're free,
And now I have a guardian angel looking after me.

From Heaven

Do not stand
By my grave and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints in snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift up-flinging rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the day transcending soft night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry,
I am not there.
I did not die.

Birthday

You walk beside me every day.
You're here in all I do and say.
At night I close my eyes and pray
To someone who took you away.

My thoughts are all in disarray.
My tears are public, on display.
I wish that you were here today,
That you could take my pain away.

Why do I play this game I play?
Pretend to all that I'm okay?
This will sound selfish, some will say,
But I wish you hadn't gone away.

I don't go out, got feet of clay.
I know you're here so want to stay.
I wish I could relive that day.
I would have washed your pain away.

Memories like a DVD play,
Memories of that awful day.
So much that I wanted to say
That day someone took you away.

My thoughts don't move; they never may,
Won't even meet me half the way,
So till we meet on God's highway,
I'll sit and dream my life away.

I send my love to heaven today,
Not just because it's your birthday.
I'll send you love every day
Until my life has passed away.
