I love you…is the sweetest phrase that any heart can share, And it’s the only one I feel whenever you are there. Because there are no other words that really can define That special feeling that I have just knowing you are mine. You are my mate so kind and true, who helps me out in all that I do; You never fail to dry my tears; and with your voice you calm my fears. You are so loving, sweet and nice, That I am forever thankful that you are mine. A blessed joy God sent for my whole life through. Most precious one…my love is forever true! Your loving wife “Weep not for me, or wish me back because I have been blessed; I am loosed from my pain, and now I’m free And in my Savior’s arms I rest. That’s where I long to be. You watched for me beside my bed, and now I watch for you. And when you reach these Golden Gates, I’ll come and lead you through.”

Life if But a Stopping Place Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay... Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some the journey’s quicker, for some the journey’s slow. And when the journey finally ends, we’ll claim a great reward And find an everlasting peace together with the Lord. Author - Unknown
