When I Leave

When I leave you
for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
through the few years
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your lonliness
on empty days,
But fill each waking hour
in useful ways.
Reach out your hand
in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you
and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!


GOD'S LIL' ANGEL NISHA!

WHEN YOUR HERE
THERE IS LOVE
NOW YOUR GONE
LIKE A DOVE

YOUR IN MY HEART
I MISS YOUR FACE
YOU PLAYED A BIG PART
NO ONE WILL TAKE YOUR PLACE

WHEN I'M AT A PARTY
I THINK OF YOU
OR SIPPIN ON PICCARDI
I'LL DRINK TO YOU

WHEN I LOOK AT THE STARS
I KNOW YOUR LOOKIN DOWN
WE'LL ROLL IN OUR CARS
WE'LL PIMP THIS TOWN

GOD TOOK YOU AWAY
HE HELD OUT HIS HAND
THE NIGHT OF AUGUST 11TH
WAS JUST HIS PLAN!

~APRIL MARIE RUPERT


A million times I've missed you
A million times I cried
IF loved could have saved you
you never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
in death I love you still
For my part of me went with you
the day God took you home.

Without you

the sun will rise
the sun will set
without you
eyes welling
full of regret
without you
words left unspoken
love unexpressed
without you
memories in frames
attempt to keep your smile replete
without you
memories almost haunting
reminders of such life
without you
i can only dream
of things not meant to be
without you
consentration is impossible
you consume my thoughts and dreams
wihtout you
echoing sounds of laughter
still remain
without you
makes me smile
through the pain
without you
i will live
i will breath
without you
even a moment of happiness
too hard to conceive
without you
the death of you
has become the death of me
without you
the absence
kills me so silently

Nisha

Seems like it was only yesterday she was living here
Yea, she was living here
Lord knows why hes taken her away
It isn't very clear
no it isnt very clear

Into every life a little rain must fall
and losing one you love is like a storm
but storms are passing

I hear Nisha
singing in heaven tonight
and in between the sadness
I hear Nisha
telling me that she's alright

Life goes on even after life
thats what I believe
yeah, thats what I believe
Nisha's gone, but she will still survive
In a memory
that I'm keeping here with me
Silencing the voice of mortal tragedy
Listening to the whispers of the soul
All is peaceful

I hear Nisha
singing in heaven tonight
and in between the sadness
I hear Nisha
telling me that she's alright

~ Tommy


A love of God and a love of peace-
The love you gave will never cease.
In everything we do, in everything we touch
You will always be a part of us.
Even though we can't see you,
We can still feel your warmth--
Holding on to cherished memories
As your spirit goes forth.
And we know this is not the end,
But a chapter in our lives
Until we see you again.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts with out me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those that I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same
There's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Thought there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
