My Forever Friends Edited

Hi Everyone, How are you today, Good I hope, I am dedicating this poem today to three of the best friends a person could ask for. I have been writing recently about missing having true friends in my life. And over the past few months when things have been the hardest for me, I have needed them even more. Well much to my surprise I have got what I needed, and reminded of what I did already have. I recently reconnected with my childhood friend Moe through facebook. After reading my last post she reached out to me and opened up that she felt the same way about wishing we had kept in touch. So we will be getting together and picking up from where we left off. I am so happy, she has no idea how much her reaching out to me means right now, but she will know now! This is also for my friends Kim and Donna. Kim thank you for always sending me a note when, "I swear to God" LOL! I am thinking of you too (just yesterday in fact) and always when I need it the most. Even though we live so far away from each other, thanks to the internet we did meet and it is if you are right here with me when we talk. I always feel uplifted after our talks and thank you for always loving me no matter what! Donna your words comforted me too when I needed them recently, your the only friend I have heard from where we use to work together since I have been back. You were the best support I had too when my mother was dying, I will never forget you for that, you reminded me of what a true friend was, something I had not had in a long, long time. So Thank you, Thank you, I know now, you all are to me, my Forever Friends and my Earth Angels!
Thanks for visiting my blog,
Love ya,
Janet :)

P.S. I forgot to mention you Bing!! You have been a great support too, so
sorry!! I love you :)

Like A Flower

Hi Everyone, I hope your enjoying your day! This is a special post for my friend Donna in Memory of her Mother today. I wrote this poem for her in a previous post which I included the link for. I found this song once and it is such a beautiful way to remember all of our loved ones that have gone on, especially our Mother's. Someone said to me once Love transcends death, so true. You and your Mother are in my thoughts and prayers today.
{{{{HUGS}}}}
Love you,
Janet

When I came into this world, your
arms did secure.
When I cried
to thrive. Your touch
brought my spirit to life

When I found my feet,
Your hand gave me trust,
And I learned to step to my
own beat, as let go you must

When life's lessons I could
not understand, only a child,
your words made them less grand.
Ok, I knew I would be
and smiled

When I grew and needed to find
who I was deep inside, your example
taught me I would find the path for me
and walk in the light.

When your Journey was reaching
the end, We laid together and prayed.
God and the Angels had come your way,
I felt your peace as your spirit slowly
transcended and flew away. With a gentle
kiss, I let go as I must.

Roll Me Away Edited

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are doing well, I am doing great. I hope you got to view Wendy's song. I haven't listened to it more than once or twice since the day of her funeral. It instantly makes me cry because it is so her spirit, so brave and fearless. Women killed by Killer what? Come again news people? Killer Whale has killed before?? Ya let's just all jump in the water with him, seriously I don't get people. God forgive me but, it should have been euthanized after the first death. Happy Birthday Donna. Where I can't see you today I wanted you to know I am thinking of you. My gift to you today is one of a warm memory. I hope listening to this song brings you a smile and your Dad back to you. I think of you and your Dad every time I hear Bob Seger. Donna and I share a common bond of knowing the pain of losing our Parents the same way, both too young and both by terminal diseases. Both our Fathers died suddenly without a chance to say goodbye. Our mothers suffered until they died. Donna's mother was much to young as well. It was hard to choose a song, I forget how much I loved his music back in my teen years. I had to go to iTunes and download some of his songs, I can't stop listening to this song today!! I choose this one because you are a bike rider even though it shows a biker, people know Donna is nothing like this girl. Who knows maybe someday I will learn to ride Pete's bike and we could ride together. I just don't know if I can be as brave as you!! If Bob comes around let me know I will go to the show with ya. Wouldn't it be nice if we all could just roll away when the spirit comes over us:) I would love ya to join me in a Zumba class. It is so fun and in the beginning you just do the best you can so there is no need to worry about keeping up. They have a family Zumba on Saturdays that a lot of mom's take their daughters to. Let me know if you want to join me sometime. Today I am taking my first kickboxing class before work, can't wait to feel like I am kicking ass LOL!. I hope you have a great day, you deserve it!!
Miss ya much,
Janet :)

A Tribute

Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing well. I am doing good. At my last job I met a dear friend Donna, that now looking back was with me in a time in my life that I needed her more than she will ever know. There are few people who I consider the salt of the Earth, Angels among us. She is and not to make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed Donna I know this from all the similar experiences we shared losing our Parents. Both our Father's passed without warning, no chance to say goodbye. Our mother's suffered, yours much to young. You unknowingly showed me how to survive my mom's goodbye. I always felt sad I never met your mom, but doing this post today I realized I do know her, because her spirit lives on in you. Children are there greatest tribute how proud she must of been of you. I got behind this year on posting a poem for her Birthday on November 8th, but without checking my past blogs I knew instinctly it was that time. Although our lives keep us indifferent directions now, You are always in my thoughts and I still sense things like I did when we were together a lot. We had so many great laughs together and someday I look forward to having them again. This song was mine and my mother's as I played it softly and whispered it in her ear many a day in the end, I know you will appreciate it more than others.
Take Care,
Janet :)

So in tribute to your beautiful mom I hope you like this poem and this song.

When I came into this world, your
arms did secure.
When I cried
to thrive. Your touch
brought my spirit to life

When I found my feet,
Your hand gave me trust,
And I learned to step to my
own beat as let go you must

When life's lessons I could
not understand, only a child,
your words made them less grand.
Ok I knew I would be
and smiled

When I grew and needed to find
who I was deep inside, your example
taught me I would find the path for me
and walk in the light.

When your Journey was reaching
the end, We laid together and prayed.
God and the Angels had come your way,
I felt your peace as your spirit slowly
transcended and flew away. With a gentle
kiss, I let go as I must.





[hebrew chants]
Im-ninalo (if they were locked)
Daltey Nadivim (doors of the generous)
Daltey Nadivim
Daltey Marom (doors of heaven)

Im-ninalo x8

Staring up into the heavens
In this hell that binds your hands
Will you sacrifice your comfort?
Make your way in a foreign land?

Wrestle with your darkness
Angels call your name
Can you hear what they are saying?
Will you ever be the same?

Mmmmmm
Im-ninalo Im-ninalo
Mmmmmm
Im-ninalo Im-ninalo

Remember remember and never forget
All of your life has all been a test
You will find the gate that's open
Even though your spirit's broken

Open up my heart
And close my lips to speak
Bring the heaven and the stars
Down to earth for me

Im-ninalo
Daltey Nadivim

Mmmmmm
Im-ninalo Im-ninalo
Mmmmmm
Im-ninalo Im-ninalo

El- Hay (god -alive)
El- Hay Marumam Al Keruvim (god- alive to elevate cherub)
Kulam Be-Ruho Ya'alu (everybody in he's spirit will rise)

Wrestle with your darkness
Angels call your name
Can you hear what they are saying?
Will you ever be the same?

Mmmmmm
Im-ninalo Im-ninalo
