When somebody dies a cloud turns into an
*ANGEL*

When somebody dies a cloud turns into
   an angel and flies up to tell God
   to put another flower
ROSE on a pillow

   A bird gives the message back to
   the world and sings a silent prayer
   that makes the rain cry

People disappear but they never really go away

   The spirits up there put the sun to
   bed, wake up grass and spin the
   earth in dizzy circles

Sometimes you can see
them dancing in a cloud during
   the day-time when they're supposed
   to be sleeping

They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make
   waves splash and tug at the tide

   They toss shooting stars and listen to
   wishes And when they sing windsongs
they whisper to us don't miss me too much

The view is nice and I'm doing just fine

I Love You Mom
Your Daughter




UNDERSTANDING



The Music playing is THE ROSE
My mom loved this song
so we had it playing
for her on the day she was laid to rest

The Rose
  Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor, that leads your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed

 It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long
When you think that love is only, for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that, with the sun' s love
In the spring becomes  The Rose
