Can you hear the whistle sound
For them souls heaven bound?
Climb onboard the glory ride
Set your earthly bonds aside.

This old train will leave someday
Boarding Christians along the way.
Roaring down those one-way tracks,
Bound for heaven, it won't be back.

Get your ticket while you can
If you want a ride to glory land.
We'll meet at the Lords station,
There's no time left for hesitation.

This long black train has no gears
It's full throttle ahead leaving here.
The archangel will be our engineer,
We'll depart amidst angel cheers.

The price of the ticket is paid for you,
Jesus died on the cross for sins you do.
Surrender to the Good Shepherd your all
Before you miss that last boarding call.

We'll glide on the ride to heavens shore
Where you will endure troubles no more.
So shed your shackles no need to pack,
Board that glory train with one-way tracks.

We received your letter from heaven above,
and we were sure it was written with all of your love.

You asked us not to be unhappy because you're out of sight,
well, you left so many beautiful memories we guess it's all right.

The day you had to leave us is a day we will never forget.
We all gathered around your bedside knowing who you met.

He picked you up and hugged you and said "I welcome You."
We realized it was over, there was nothing we could do.

He told you he missed you while you were gone,
but that your family would be here later on.

There was much to do, you were part of his plan
and until we all get there we won't understand.

He gave you a list of things to do,
one of them was to watch over the ones who loved you.

For when our day is over, and all our chores are done,
we feel your presence as you said and we think it's kinda fun

When we do think of you, and all those loving years,
we just can't help it, it just brings us to tears.

Crying does relieve some pain,
but it keeps coming back again and again.

We probably wouldn't understand what plan God has for us,
but we can see that you're happy, so his plan we all shall trust.

Although your life is over one thing is for sure,
we do feel you are closer to us then ever before.

You mentioned in your letter of some tough times ahead,
and we know you will be watching with many tears to shed.

May we follow your advice," give to the world, and the world gives to you."
We always trusted your philosophy, so this we know is true.

You told us to find someone in pain and sorrow,
and let them know there's a better tomorrow.

You should be content, your life was worthwhile!
We have many many pictures that make us all smile!

When we see someone feeling sad and low,
we will pick them up and tell them "we love you so."

How did you know that when we have you on our mind
we walk a little slower cause we know you're right behind.

And when our time is over, we know we must die too.
We'll know just where we're going, WE'RE COMING HOME TO YOU!!!

It takes a Mother's Love
to make a house a home,
A place to be remembered,
no matter where we roam.

It takes a Mother's Patience,
to bring a child up right,
And her Courage and her Cheerfulness
to make a dark day bright.

It takes a Mother's Thoughtfulness
to mend the heart's deep "hurts,"
And her Skill and her Endurance
to mend little socks and shirts.

It takes a Mother's Kindness
to forgive us when we err,
To sympathize in trouble
and bow her head in prayer.

It takes a Mother's Wisdom
to recognize our needs
And to give us reassurance
by her loving words and deeds.

It takes a Mother's Endless Faith,
her Confidence and Trust
To guide us through the pitfalls
of selfishness and lust.

And that is why in all this world
there could not be another
Who could fulfill God's purpose
as completely as a MOTHER!

Helen Steiner Rice

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of His love.

For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world,
seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be "Goodbye."

So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son had
asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good.
God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if
Mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all, amen."

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman
remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know
how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream. Why, I never."

Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is
God mad at me?"

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was
certainly not mad at him.

An elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said,
" I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

"Really?", my son asked.

"Cross my heart." Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the
woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks
God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared
at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my
life.

He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front
of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream
is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already."

Did you ever think, dear Mother,
As the seeds of me you sowed,
As you breathed new life inside of me
And slowly watched me grow,
In all your dreams about me
When you planned me out so well,
When you couldn't wait to have me there
Inside your heart to dwell,


Did you ever think that maybe,
I was planning for you, too,
And choosing for my very own
A mother just like you?
A mother who smelled sweet and who
had hands so creamy white,
A tender, loving creature
Who would soothe me in the night?

Did you ever think in all those days
While you were coming due,
That as you planned a life for me
I sought a life with you?
And now as I lay in your arms,
I wonder if you knew
While you were busy making me,
I was choosing you!

Thank you
