| It's quiet and still all around me no sound unless I move. I sit with my thoughts in the stillness thinking my dear one of you. But there's singing and laughing and joyfull noise where you are now I know. The angels in Heaven all celebrate for you have made it home. My heart feels empty, emotions are drained and I force myself to go on. Without you to share it my life seems so dull, so empty, so still, so alone. But there's a reunion in Heaven with all your loved ones up there all hugging and laughing and praising the Lord now free of earth's sorrow and care. You suffered and hurt while you lingered, no pain now or suff'ring or care. You're healed and rejoicing with Jesus and waiting my coming up there. So I thank God for all of the good times and praise Him for taking you on. I'll finish my course and sing on the way knowing I'll join you at home. And I'll say a prayer when I'm lonely, a prayer of thanks to my King. For saving and healing and taking you home and I'll meet you again some sweet day. Jerry Evans 9/21/96 |

| The Day the Rainbows Came On the morning that she left us, my heart was low and sad I went to work in spite of this, and now I'm glad I did. The sky was dark and grey the rain came in a mist, the wind blew cool and strong my tears I could not resist. For this was the day my mother had passed and I could not be there to say, how much I loved and cared for her on her final day. But I know somehow she knew this to this day I swear it's true, the sun broke up those blackened clouds and turned the sky to blue. Just before it went all blue I saw something she sent through the rain, up in the sky to ease my mind it was the day the rainbows came. So from that day forth when I see a rainbow, I will always think of my mom knowing she's well and knowing I care, She's in my heart forever more. Rick |
