A POSTCARD FROM HEAVEN

.....by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001

I was waiting at the mailbox
As I've done for many years
Just in case you sent a postcard
From the place that has no tears.

Just as the postman pulled away
I reached in to get the mail.
I pulled out a lovely postcard
With a picture of an angel.

I slowly flipped it over
To see what was on the back.
It was postmarked from Heaven.
That's when I began to gasp.

I read the words written there...
"Hey Mom, I'm doing great."
"Wish you were here in Heaven."
"I'll be waiting at the gate."

I found my way back to the house
With this gift of mine to keep.
I held the postcard to my chest
Then I dozed of to sleep.

I dreamed of clouds and angel wings.
I dreamed of days gone by,
And how I long to hold you.
That's when I began to cry.

The tears awoke me from my sleep.
I felt the card within my clutch.
I held it to my chest once more
This proof of Heaven's touch.

I looked to read it once again,
To absorb all that it said.
My tears had faded all the ink.
The words no longer could be read.

I know this card was heaven sent
Although it never can be proved.
I guess that I'm the only one
Who will ever know the truth.

So I'll be waiting at the mailbox
As I've done for many years.
While you are waiting at the gate
In the place of no more tears.

SNAPSHOTS OF A LIFETIME

.....by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001

Snapshots of a lifetime
Captured here within my heart.
Prints of all my memories
Zoomed in on at the start.

A frame of special moments
Posed forever over time.
Developed over many years
In the darkroom of my mind.

Pictures of what used to be
From the camera of my soul.
Film waiting to be taken
A future trapped within the roll.

Photographs of heartache.
Images of hidden pain.
Focused on reality.
Exposing what remains.

Transparencies of happiness
Cropped-out by fate's design.
A flash of hope awaits within...
These snapshots of a lifetime.

Mrs. Gump:
Vacation's when you go somewhere...
and you don't ever come back.

~ Quote from Forrest Gump






I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

~ Carrie Underwood







And none will hear the postman's knock
Without a quickening of the heart.
For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?

~W.H. Auden







Closer to heaven above and
Closer to you closer to you

~The Dixi Chicks







Here I am, signed, sealed delivered
I'm yours

~ Stevie Wonder







I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say
I hope you're feeling better
I'll close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And I'm gonna make believe it came from you

~ Billy Williams







Please mister postman look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I been standing here waiting mister postman
So patiently

So many days you passed me by
See the tear standing in my eye
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter

~ The Beatles







Oh, thinking about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling down

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

~ Bryan Adams







I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

~ Incubus







Funny how the years,
They just pass us by
Seems like yesterday,
You were in my life

~ Enrique Iglesias







I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...
Wish you were here...

~ Ritchie Blackmore






Hope you're well at home,
Next week I'll try to phone,
Not very long to go,
I'll tell you when I'm coming home as soon as I know

~ The Who







Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, I wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"

~ Mark Wills







How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

~ Pink Floyd







You fill up my senses Like a night in a forest
Like a mountain in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses, Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you, Come love me again

~ John Denver







"Heaven is a city without a cemetery"

~ Anonymous






"Everything you can imagine is real."

~ Pablo Picasso







Perhaps passing through the gates of death
is like passing quietly through the gate in a pasture fence.
On the other side, you keep walking, without the need to look back.
No shock, no drama, just the lifting of a plank
or two in a simple wooden gate in a clearing.
Neither pain, nor floods of light, nor great voices,
but just the silent crossing of a meadow.

~Mark Helprin, "A Soldier of the Great War"







"And if I go,
while you are still here,
know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure,
behind a thin veil
you cannot see through.
You will not see me
so you must have faith.
I can't wait for the time
when we can soar together again,
both aware of each other.
Until then,
live your life to the fullest
and when you need me,
just whisper my name in your heart.....
I will be there."

~ Emily Dickenson





THE SWIM

~ by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001

The waves are washing over me.
I'm drowning in this grief.
I look for shores to swim to
Or an island of relief.

I tread the murky water
Trying hard to stay afloat.
I'm pulled under by the current
Sinking to where there is no hope.

Submerged in total darkness,
Lying on the ocean's floor.
I contemplate my voyage
To that peaceful heavenly shore.

My chest is tightened by the surge.
In this seabed I can't breathe.
So I look toward the surface
To the place of my reprieve.

A light appears before me
With a hand for me to clasp.
Then I'm thrust above the surface
As I begin to cough and gasp.

I see the shore before me
So I swim towards the sand
But I gaze back at the water
Knowing that it understands.

Then I look to the horizon
At that other peaceful shore.
Someone is waiting for me
But motions not to drift that far.

The hand that rescued reaches high
And waves to me a fond goodbye.
Someday I'll see my angel
When I reach that ebbing tide.

So I turn towards that earthly shore
Drenched in the hope that I betrayed.
Stroke by stroke I reach the reef
And in the shallow sea I wade.

At last I find myself aground.
I lay there resting on the beach
As the waves engulf my being
Again I'm flooded by this grief.

So I build sandcastles to the sky
And I soak up lots of sun.
I splash around in memories
Of the days when life was fun.

The waters still entice me
And I know the current's strong.
I sometimes go out for a swim.....
I just don't stay out too long.
