Gordon McMaster

GORDON THE TRUE FRIEND OF US ALL

Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November



FOR MONDAY



The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.


FOR TUESDAY


Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.


FOR WEDNESDAY


A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.


FOR THURSDAY


Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.



FOR FRIDAY


The Watcher

They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.

And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.

Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.

Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.



FOR SATURDAY


As We Look Back


As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?

For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems

And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things

Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.



FOR SUNDAY


To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me


When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear

Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

♥ღ♥ My Angel ♥ღ♥

♥ღ♥ You'll always be my angel
Of happiness and love
You'll always be my angel
Looking at me from above.

I miss you a lot
And I wish you could have stayed,
But I thought
It's better for you, so I prayed.

And I keep praying
And thinking
But also crying
And leaking.

It was tearing me apart
Before I actualy knew
Through those golden gates
Those angel guards were you.

You were everything
That you could possibly be
And now that I think of it
Why was I only thinking about me?

You'll always be my angel
Of happiness and love
You'll always be my angel
Looking at me from above.

I see
You watching over me
And hear
You speaking to me
I won't
Give up and not care
I will
Move on and be fair.

As I think about you
I might be sad for a while
But as I think again My Angel
I see your happy smile
Smiling down at me
Through the clouds
And through the sky
I've left the ground
And just died.
I'm coming to be with you
And God, too.

You'll always be my angel
Of happiness and love
You'll always be my angel
Looking at me from above ♥ღ♥

The world got colder on the day you died
Everything around was drab and dull
You brought such warmth to the world around
Your soul was kind and rare and beautiful.

My world just stopped on the day you died
I can't fathom life without you here
Why is it fate can bring bonds so deep,
And then fate can make life disappear?

I'll always remember the day you died
And that raw aching hole- you were gone
Time dulled the pain and I longed for it back
It seemed a betrayal to move on.

I wasn't prepared for the day you died
Your life slipped away much too soon
And even as time lets me laugh once again
A piece of my heart went with you.

TO THOSE WE LOVE
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*

Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of us with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to us so tightly in your hearts - where we shall always be
Your concern has always been for us, but we wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but we find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that we are not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in us. When we left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. We're surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel you emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that we are doing just fine.
It is comforting to know that you hold us so close while struggling with the prospect of letting us go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! We have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that we are safe in God's perfect love. We would like you to take some of the love you have for us and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever. Ours has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there. Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'us' from time to time. That's all right too. All of our needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of us, never think of us as being alone. Think of us smiling, laughing and enjoying all that god has prepared for us.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that we are very proud of you for never giving up.
We love you!
*FROM YOUR LOVED ONES IN HEAVEN*

*♥* GOOD MORNING ANGEL *♥*

for you with love By...Isla Paschal Richardson
Read by Gregory Peck at Frank Sinatra's funeral, 1998
To Those I Love If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love To go along the silent way. . . Grieve not.
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me As if I were beside you there.
(I'd come. . .I'd come, Could I but find a way! But would not tears and And grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song Or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let the thought of me Be sad. . .
for I am loving you Just as I always have. . . You were so good to me!
There are so many things I wanted still to do. . .
So many things I wanted to say to you. . .
Remember that I did not fear. . .
It was Just leaving you That was so hard to face.
We cannot see beyond. . . But this I know:
I loved you so. . . 'twas heaven here with you

LOVE AS ALWAYS CLARE x x x
