To hold my dreams
A Special Soul
I send my eyes to help you see
And find your way back home to me.
I send my ears to help you hear
The words I say to ease your fear.
I send my voice to make a sound
And hope you sing & can be found.
I send my thoughts of love & care
To hold my dreams of all we share.
But most of all I send my heart
To help us through our time apart.

forever around yous my family please know this
They who are near to me do not know
That you are nearer to me than they are
They who speak to me do not know
That my heart is full with your unspoken words
They who crowd in my path do not know
That I am walking alone with you
Those who love me do not know
Their love brings you to my heart.

FOR OUR LOVED ONES WHO WE MISS
A GIFT FROM GOD
AN ANGEL WAS SENT FROM HEAVEN ABOVE,
A SPECIAL ONE THAT WOULD GIVE MUCH LOVE,
GOD KNEW THAT THIS PRECIOUS LIFE WOULD BE SHORT,
SO HE LOOKED AROUND FOR A TENDER HEART.
HE MADE HIS CHOICE AND THE GIFT WAS SENT,
IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE A MOMENT THE ANGEL WENT,
LEAVING TREASURED MEMORIES, AND A HEART FULL OF PAIN,
A VOID AN ABYSS, TEARS FLOWED LIKE RAIN.
BUT...
WAIT JUST A MOMENT I WISH YOU COULD SEE,
THE WONDERFUL THING THATS HAPPENED TO ME,
JESUS WAS WAITING, HIS ARMS OPENED WIDE,
AND HE AND HIS ANGELS TOOK ME INSIDE,
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE,THAT I CANNOT DESCRIBE,
A NEW HOME FOR ME, FROM THE MOMENT I DIED.
I'LL WAIT HERE FOR YOU, SO DRY UP YOUR TEARS,
AND GO BRAVELY ON WITH YOUR LIFE FREE FROM FEARS,
KNOW THAT GODS NEAR YOU TO HELP AND TO GUIDE,
HE'LL NEVER DESERT YOU, HE'S THERE BY YOUR SIDE.
SO SPEAK TO HIM DAILY FROM INSIDE YOUR HEART,
AND LET HIM ASSURE YOU WE'RE NOT REALLY APART

Although our leaving causes pain and grief, our going has eased our hurt and given us relief. So dry your eyes and remember us, not as we were, but as we used to be. Because, we will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand, in your hearts, we have only gone to rest a little while. As long as we have the love of each of you, we can live our lifes in the hearts of all of you.

the story behind photo 49 our dad the hero, a tribute to a brave man
The following newspaper clipping was about our dad James Copeland ,you see we come from Belfast in the heart of all the troubles,nearly 30years ago while there was a big riot on the streets of Belfast our father saved the life of a little boy,in return for this our father was very badly beaten by the army and police,some passerby watched as our father saved this boy,then took a beating as a result of this that person wrote to the paper,our father sufferd badly after this beating. For a couple of weeks he had been beaten so bad, his cheekbones were broken, his youngest daughter thought if our father stood up his eyes would fall out as they were so black and blue and very swollen,this man was our dad
JAMES EDWARD COPELAND A VERY BRAVE MAN WHO NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT HIS OWN LIFE THAT DAY ,REST IN PEACE DAD
this is what was wrote
A TRIBUTE TO A BRAVE MAN
SIR,MAY I THROUGH UR PAPER GIVE
MY HEART FELT THANKS TO THE MAN
WHO BATTLED THE HAIL OF BULLETS
STONES AND BOTTLES ECT,TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A
WEE BOY OF ABOUT 9YRS OLD
FROM BEHIND THE BURNING OF A CAR IN
KING STREET BELFAST ,THIS CHILD
WAS STUCK BEHIND THIS CAR
AND COULDNT MOVE TO GET AWAY
THIS VERY BRAVE MAN DIDNT STOP TO THINK
HE WAS PUTTING HIS OWN LIFE IN DANGER
I WONDER HOW THE MOTHER OF THIS CHILD
WOULD HAVE FELT IF THE PETROL TANK
OF THAT CAR HAD EXPLODED TAKING BOTH THE
LIFE OF HER SON AND THAT MAN
I HEARD AFTER THIS THE MAN IN QUESTION
RECIEVED A BRUTAL BEATING
WAS THAT BECAUSE THE MAN CONCERNED
HAD PREVENTED YET ANOTHER DEATH
AND TOOK SOME PROPAGANDA OUT OF THE HANDS
OF THE SO CALLED PROTECTORS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE
GHETTO DISTRICTS OF BELFAST
SON WHO EVER YOU ARE WHERE EVER YOU ARE NOW
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
A FEW MORE LIKE YOU WOULDNT GO A MISS
IN OUR DISTRICTS
that was what the passerby wrote after our father saved the boy
growing up in Belfast was'nt easy things like this happened on a daily basis

I am your Guardian Angel, and I'm standing by your side.
Weep no more for me, for though it seemed to you that I died, in truth I've never left your side. I've stood beside you through all your grief, your pain and tears;I am your Guardian Angel now and I'll guide you down the years...I was there on those quiet evenings when you knelt and prayed and when you kissed my photograph I felt your doubt and fear, and heard you wondering if I was safe and well and whether I was far away or near but I was there and remember this the Great God heard your prayer. For the Cosmic Mind that formed this wondrous Earth vast mountains ranges, oceans, life and trees whose spirit shines in the morning sky and whose voice is carried on the breeze, the power of this almighty God beats within each love sigh the Great Spirit is eternal and so are you, and so am I... And at some future time, in a spiritual world that lies ahead, I promise you we'll be reunited. I'll hold you in my arms again and kiss away your tears;but for now I will watch over you throughout the lonely years.So, weep no more for me, for you see, I never died I am your Guardian Angel, and I'm standing by your side.

WE ARE HAPPY
|
A brief moment of darkness
was all that we knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into our view.
Loved ones and friends
we had missed for many years,
welcomed us with open arms
and many happy tears.
All the hurt, fear and pain
that we have ever known,
are gone from our lifes,
we are finally home
we found some peace
we gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in our lifes
we knew and felt His grace.
I know that yous will miss us
but please dry your eyes.
me and dad will always be watching and loving yous
from our home in the sky.
A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
we will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.
Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
we are finally home,
Eternity is ours
as one day it will be for yous
so no more tears for
we are happy,
love yous all
EDWARD AND DAD |

FOR COLLEEN FROM DAD
When I Arrived In Heaven
When I arrived In Heaven
The First Things That I Saw
Were All The Beautiful Flowers Here
And They Had Not One Small flaw
On Down The Road As I Traveled More
I Came To A Beautiful Lake
When My Eyes First Looked Upon It
Oh My Breath Did It Take
You Can Never Imagine The Beauty It Holds
For My Eyes It's Quite A Sight
When My Friends And Family Join Me Here
It Will Bring My Heart Delight
So Please Don't Anyone Worry About Me
I Don't Want You To Shed A Tear
All The Things I Loved On Earth
Are Much More Beautiful Here
When The Day Comes That We're Together Again
This Day I Do Await
I'll Be The One With The Smile On Their Face
As you Enter The Pearly Gates
In Loving Memory Of JAMES COPELAND
WHO Departed This World On 12/4/05
