Angel in
Waiting
Angel in waiting
Come home to me
Angel in waiting
Let your soul free
Love will see you through
the veil of time
Love is lifting you
Angel in waiting
Let your soul be free

Just Beyond
Where Only White Doves Fly
Just beyond this earthly reach
your new life waits to be
A peaceful place, filled with grace
too bright for eyes to see
Here will lie the answers
to all you’ve longed to know
And everyone you’ve loved before
is reaching out to hold you
Doves of white will guide you
through sun or rain or clouds
These ushers of the Highest call
are the only ones allowed
To the angel’s threshold
so gently do they lead
Make your way on this day
a journey to complete
A journey of a lifetime to complete
Take your flight
Carry my beloved to the sky
Spiral high right to the edge of time
To that place where arms are open wide
just beyond where only white doves fly
Fly~ ~ ~ Carry up this Spirit to the sky
Spiral high right to the edge of time
To that place where arms are open wide
just beyond where only white doves fly
Love is soaring with you
in this last goodbye
On these wings, delivering
what must be surrendered to the Light
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Fly ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
To that place where arms are open wide
just beyond where only white doves fly
This heart that won’t forget you
and the tears within these eyes
will let you go to be released
just beyond where only white doves fly

It was a cold Fall day
to visit you
Darkness takes the sky, way too soon
I’ll be back one day, some day, I’ll never forget
how your hand touched mine and Spirits met
Brother of Mine, I miss you so
I feel your touch, is that you on the other side?
I touch your name, is that you calling mine?
Will I ever know, why you had to go?
Brother of Mine, I miss you so
Brother of Mine, I miss you so
Brother of Mine, I miss you so

I feel your touch, is
that you on the other side?
I touch your name, is that you calling mine?
Sometimes it seems like you’re just standing there
looking at me, looking at you
Brother of
Mine
It was a cold Fall day to visit you
I didn’t call ahead, no need to
I come with pictures, flowers
my mission and quest
The book says your home is 15 West
Brother of Mine, I miss you so
Reflections of myself in your name
I’m all grown-up now, you look the same
It’s been years without you
Do cuts always heal?
If I could only tell you how I feel
Brother of Mine, I miss you so
Your Voice
Calling
In the quiet of my sorrow I just listen
after all the words have disappeared
In the silent hush that fills your empty chair
I wait until my heart can finally hear...
Your voice calling. . . . Your voice calling
It’s your voice that finds me in that lonely quiet
or sometimes in a dream or dark of night
Telling me that death has no power over love
and keep on loving til the end of time
Your voice calling. . . . Your voice calling
My shallow breath of grief gives me the warning
release my tears or just stay paralyzed
So let me cry into your clothes deep against my face
long enough until I realize I hear...
Your voice calling. . . . Your voice calling
My world is such a different place without you
and in time I’ll find a way to be
But just for today I need some courage to be strong
knowing that my heart can find you if I need to hear...
Your voice calling. . . . Your voice calling
I hold your voice as if you were beside me
and keep you close as long as you can stay
I know I’m not the only one who loves you
but I’m the only one who loves you just this way
Then one day you called me just to listen
and took my pain with what you had to say
I know I’m not the only one who loves you
but I’m the only one who loves you just this way
Your voice calling. . . . Your voice calling me

My Mother's
Hands
My mother’s hands are a story
of gentle strength in each line
My mother’s hands are a story
And within them she holds part of mine
My mother’s hands are a story
Telling the tale of her days
My mother’s hands are a story
that was written by heart, every page
When I remember her face
and recall the sound of her voice
I will never forget
My mother’s hands
I will never forget
My mother’s hands

Sailor's
Farewell
Farewell O sweet sailor, you are free
May winds be with you
Farewell to you, lover of the sea
where you return to
Set your sail to the sun
Set your sail, one last voyage to be done
And a journey has begun
Farewell O sweet sailor, you are free
in holy waters
In her arms, Mother of the sea
holds sons and daughters
So be cast to the sea
Home at last
where you’ve always longed to be
And shall live eternally
With your sail to the sun
Let the whale lead you to the Ancient One
who has called you in the name of Love
Farewell O sweet sailor, you are free
May winds be with you
Farewell to you, lover of the sea
where you return to

Reflections of My
Father
Standing at the mirror
I don’t see me, no, I see you
For there you are in my eyes
my father looking through
I gaze at my reflection
and watch in disbelief
How can it seem so like you
when I know it’s me
That’s when I can’t stop the feelings
or deny myself the tears
This grown-up child is missing you
to find that you are here with me
On the day I lost you
forever so it seemed
But now in this reflection
I see your face in me
How can I keep this moment
How can I make it stay
When holding you in my eyes
you’re not so far away
That’s when I can’t stop the feelings
or deny myself the tears
This grown-up child is missing you
and everything you meant to me
Standing at the mirror
it’s only now that I can see
that your life will carry on in me
For I am your legacy

I Will Paint You the
Sky
Here I am, safely home
where the angels sing
From this view, watching you
I wish that you could see
The sheer magnificence
of who you’ve come to be
How in the world could you ever know
Words can’t possibly tell you, so...
I will paint you the sky
so beautifully bright
to hold you in this moment
And I will color the scene
in ways you’ll believe
I know your life story
This is what I bring
Crimson dawn, violet night
Rays of gold and blue
Colors blessed by the sun
are mine to give to you
So if your heart awakens
before the morning light
Or if your day ends missing me
just watch until the light reveals me
And I will paint you the sky
so beautifully bright
to hold you in this moment
And I will color the scene
in ways you’ll believe
I know your life story
This is what I bring
Watching the splendor of you
from here it’s something to see
And if you don’t know it by now
you’re loved, so very loved by me
Watch and see...
I will paint you the sky
so beautifully bright
to hold you in this moment
And I will color the scene
in ways you’ll believe
I know your life story
Just as the sun will rise and set
How could I ever forget you

You're the New
Angel
Since you’ve been gone, I wonder
How is heaven up there?
At least once a day this heart gives way
and goes deep inside for a memory of you
Since you’ve been gone, I wonder
How do I reach you from here?
In thoughts you appear, I know you’re so near
For a moment we meet, it’s hard to let go
And when I think of you now
it’s like a prayer
You’re the new angel
You’re the new angel
You’re the new angel up there
Since you’ve been gone, I wonder
Can you look for me here?
Wherever I go it would help me to know
you’re my angel now watching below
And when I think of you now
it’s like a prayer
You’re the new angel
You’re the new angel
You’re the new angel up there
And when I think of you now
it’s like a prayer
You’re the new angel
You’re the new angel
You’re the new angel up there

My River of
Forever
The shadow’s found the eastern ridge
The valley darkens once again
The red-tailed hawk returns to nest
The day gives in, and yes, that’s when...
I walk down to the peaceful running water
just like I’ve walked so many times before
The winding road is worn beneath my footsteps
as the quiet dusk settles even more
The mountains watch me in the sacred silence
then they call your Spirit on the evening wind
Rustling leaves of wildwood trees follow my descent
right down to the rocky water’s edge
And waiting at the rocky water’s edge
You are my river of forever running free
flowing deep into the land of my memory
You are my river of forever running free
and forever will your love live on in me
It’s here I come to sit once more beside you
to talk again of what you mean to me
The secrets of my heart are given to this place
My tears are carried with you to the sea
My tears are carried with you to the sea
You are my river of forever running free
flowing deep into the land of my memory
You are my river of forever running free
and forever will your love live on in me
Let me touch the coolness of your autumn
Let me taste the sweetness of your spring
Let me see your face that shimmers
‘neath the weeping willow tree
to remember what a day with you could bring
Let me remember what a day with you could bring
You are my river of forever running free
flowing deep into the land of my memory
You are my river of forever running free
and forever will your love live on in me
You are my river of forever running free
And forever will your love live on in me
And forever will your love live on in me

It Will Be Your
Smile
From cradle to grave is such a short run
The lessons of life earn no degrees
You were there with needed inspiration
when there were so few guarantees
You took my hand and led my heart so I could see
just what I really had to know
And I am here to say, "I love you so"
And it will be your smile that I remember you by
It will be your laughter, my friend
If the days grow into years until we meet again
it will be your smile I see, my friend
Just one sweet moment of reflection
before you blaze a trail unknown
And take a path of new direction
to find the truth out on your own
As you turn the corner
there’s a light that’s up ahead
From there I’m sure you’ll know the way
And I’ll be here to watch you sail away
And it will be your smile that I remember you by
It will be your laughter, my friend
If the days grow into years until we meet again
it will be your smile I see, my friend
A tender wave goodbye to you now
The time is here to take this last refrain
I’ll always know that you’re here somehow
And now my life just won’t be quite the same
And it will be your smile that I remember you by
It will be your laughter, my friend
If the days grow into years until we meet again
it will be your smile I see, my friend
If the days grow into years until we meet again
it will be your smile, until we meet again
It will be your smile I see, my friend

▲ Listen to "Meet Me at the Twilight Star"
Meet Me at the
Twilight Star
Meet me at the twilight
star
I'm not that far beyond the sun's light
Meet me at the twilight star
and we can talk into the night
Let your heart speak of everything
and what's been left unsaid
Or maybe tell of your wanderings
and ponderings instead
Each word is heard, all feelings known
in purity and truth
If the clouds should pass between
I'm still here with you
Just look above and touch the love
only you could know
And then you'll see, yes, it's me
with a heart that now is free
Just lift your eyes beyond the skies
of the world you know
And come to be here with me
before you lay your head to sleep
Meet me at the twilight star
I'm not the far beyond the sun's light
Meet me at the twilight star
I'm not that far from where you are
And I'll be waiting for you
