I'll Be There
If ever there's a moment
When you need a friend to listen,
If ever someone can reach out
To dry the tears that glisten,
I'll be there.
If ever you have special needs
And hope someone will see them
If ever you have secrets
And would like a friend to free them
I'll be there.
If you just need encouragement
To help you on the way,
If you just need a cheerful voice
To pull you through the day,
I'll be there.
If you need one who cares a lot
And thinks about you often,
If you need one who shares your hopes -
Your worries strives to soften,
I'll be there.
If you would like to be yourself
With someone who respects you,
If you need one who understands
How all of life affects you,
I'll be there.

Poems
He Only Takes the Best
God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around her and whispered, "come to me".
With tear-filled eyes we watched her suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her deeply, we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

May I Go Now
May I go now? Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless nights?
I've lived my life and done my best, an example I tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first; I fought with all my might,
But something seems to draw now, to a warm and loving light.
I want to go, I really do, it's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can and live just one more day,
To give you time to care for me, and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid, because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that and hope you'll always know,
That my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.
Thank you for loving me, you know I love you too,
That's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.
So hold me now; just one more time and let me hear you say,
Because you care so much for me you'll let me go today.

Don't Stand At My Grave and Weep
Don't stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond that glints on the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did die.
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me:
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow;
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, and loved one's touch;
Perhaps my time seems all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief;
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
