The funeral is over
you can hear a baby cry.
The soil is your new home,
Only God knows why...
Will you wait for me at Heaven's gate?
Tell the Lord you have to wait.
Let me fly with you on angel's wings,
Hearing "Gloria!" as they sing.
Months roll by and then a year.
No one to call, no one near.
You cradle yourself, and say:
Will you wait for me at Heaven's gate? Beg dear God to save my place.
Will you stay with me, in my heart?
To tell me your there when I'm falling apart.
Breaking away from a quiet place, hearing her calling you name.
You run and jump. I'll run and jump. I'll climb the tallest mountain, to the tallest
peak, to see you up in Heaven,
and tell you not to wait...
Soul consume with rage my life fading away.
heart aching with pain so the law I can never obey.
That's right me and the Devil is on the same page.
Yes. I am a real life sage I manifest words from my rib cage.
Needed God help but yet I still couldn't pray.
Now my heart is cold and gray as my bones shatter and decay.
Pain increasing with my soul God and The Devil is just having a field day.
I am burning in hell but my memories the devil can never take away.
It breaks my heart
To think and say
That you beloved dad
have gone away
Far very far
From your loved ones
For your time in this world
Was over and done
I miss your loving
And caring smiles
I miss your hugs
And walk for miles
I miss your hands
That you always rose
To bless our lives
With prayers and grace
I love you dad
And pray for you
May God open the door
Of heaven and hue
And fill your path
With the shine of bliss
More than we can
Ever for you wish
I hope and pray
From God who is dear
To keep you safe
Under His bliss and care
And wish one day
We meet in heaven above
Under God's treasure of
Unaccountable care and love.
May Your Soul Rest In Peace Dad.
I love you a lot and will always miss you.

20th July, 2010
Just beneath a grassy meadow
That one time was a battlefield
Lies the bones of two unknown men
Still clothed in their tattered fatigues
in a shallow unnatural grave.
Unnatural because if buried
With the customary honors
There would have been two separate
grave sites with much deeper holes.
One of the uniforms was gray
In color, the other one blue.
It’s fair to assume that both men
Prayed to god for his own safety
But god does not take sides in war.
I saw you cry today,
I can't tell you that I feel your pain,
You're his daughter,
this time God couldn't get any wronger,
he shouldn't ever taken your father,
I swear that in my head my screams couldn't get any louder,
I screamed to God and reminded him of his daughters,
but mostly of you, because i knew you would take the news harder.
I couldn't even give you a hug and tell you that everything's going to be okay,
I don't know what happened I just froze when I saw tears running down your face,
I know you're going to miss him every single day,
I just want you to know that I love you and that I'm always here for when ever you need a
friend,
I've been trying to make you laugh today,
I've done it a couple of times and that makes me feel great,
because for two seconds I took the pain away,
but I know that your pain will always stay,
I'm sorry I know nothing will ever take away that pain,
but you got friends and family that will help you along the way.
Simplicity was best
And now as you hover by my chest
I would like to remind you that you’re here
In my heart
Forever near
I don’t know how
But you touched me
And as you take the final bow
I would like to thank you
I saw you vaguely
But I saw you truly
Kind, gentle, always there
Just to talk about everything
And also nothing
The battle was hard fought
And after all the pain
Your serenity that was sought
You have obtained
So may God bless your travels
Into his gates
And may he watch over you
And keep you safe at best
For now you may finally rest.
-To Katie, a very dear friend that though I may not have spent as much time with you as
some I saw you as the great person you were. May god keep you by him and safe in heaven.
---Love Eternally Matthew R Pawlak
Gabrielle hasn't smiled for eternity
as a torture victom i know how he feels
he tells me there are war heros sitting on death row
judges more criminal than we know
he asked the lord to come make love to him
through me as i understand it
not a very happy holiday he's on
He told me of the way we hang our sins on jesus
a subconcious routine of our souls to smote an unheavenly enemy
the biblical code collected in three different books
the curse to break the aftermath of the enemies curse
Told me things happen for a reason
on a protest for god to take a turn
punished for doing gods work he says
maybe god should try doing his own job
psychology of belief systems all in place for this rapture
taking place and misunderstood
As confused as i am in the midst of his game to get me laid
i have pretty much lost all will to live
he says him and mankind are in the same business
here to learn the difference of good and bad
I'm praying for it to be over
than he informs me
don't be surprised if you wake up to hear about a dead judge
unimaginable terror gripped me when she fell ill
a fear that caused all else in my life to still
words cannot describe the dread that I felt
so for the first time in my life, upon the ground I knelt
in such fear that her soul would leave
I prayed to a God in whom I don't believe
I asked why he would ever strike her dead
I begged of him to take me instead
I pleaded with desperation, sadness and rage
she wasn't even a year of age
it was a sunny day when my daughter died
as if the God who took her was mocking me
I buried her in a shallow grave
for I couldn't bear to stare at her lifeless form any longer
her mother gave me a final kiss
then went to be with her child once again
I pen this with a blade in my other hand
the instrument that shall reunite me with my family
Let god hold you and keep you happy, because I know that he's the person that I could
never be. Let god be there to keep you safe, until the day comes when i will be able to again
see your beautiful face. Let god shelter and keep you, but please watch over your mother
until my days are through. Let god be the one that you can confide in, because up there
together, you and him will always win. Let god enjoy all the precious times with you, let god
smile at the cute little faces that you do. Let the lord shelter and clothe you, let him do all the
things that I could no longer do. Your death is someting that I still to this day mourn, the
happiness that I could no longer give you, please let the lord.*
I am writing a letter, to heaven today.
There are a few things, that I'd like to say.
My heart has been broken, since you went away.
I yearn for the days ,that we used to play.
I can't feel the sunshine, it's cloudy and gray.
I just don't know what, you want me to say.
I'll always remember ,on that fateful day,
When God called from heaven, and you went away.
So I'm writing this letter, to heaven today.
There's just a few things, that I'd like to say.
'Til I hear God calling, each day I will pray.
That we'll be together, in heaven some day.
Mike,
You started out a little baby. You grew into a child.
You faced so many changes in life, but you always kept a smile.
We wish you all the luck up there.
May God bless you with a kiss.
We all loved you very much
and you'll be very dearly missed.
When God called upon you, he knew it was for the best.
He didn't want to see you suffer, so he laid you down to rest.
Although the pain for all of us is way too much to bare,
we realize now that God did this because he truly does care.
We met you as a stranger. You left us as a friend.
We'll see you up in heaven, where friendship never ends.
Your Friend,
Kristin

Will the Lord heal me and ease my pain.
Will he shield me from the demonic shreds which i recieve in vain
Will i rise but should i fall not ever trusting God at all.
If i fall as a sinner will the lord ease my pain
will he take away the beings which are around me-
- not ever should i live but watch those die-
-around me.Will i awake in the bloody depths of hell not ever knowing that i-
-was beating in a bloody one man sell.The devils feeding off my fears,
but laughing over my solid blood of tears.
At which i fear the devils all around me ,should i make a doubt in
prayer for God doesn't seem to care.
WHEN GOD TAKES SOMEONE AWAY; WE WILL SEE THEM ANOTHER DAY. WHEN GOD TAKES
SOMEONE AWAY; HE SEES A BETTER WAY. AWAY FOR THEM TO STAY ALIVE; WITHOUT
SUFFERING TO SURVIVE. WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS MY FAITH WILL PREVAIL. GOD HAS SAID
THE WORDS; THEY ONLY OUR LOVE ONES HAVE HEARD. COME SERVE ONTO ME WHERE YOU
WILL ALWAYS LIVE AND BE FREE. COME SERVE ONTO ME; SO YOU CAN LIVE FOR
ETURINITY. SO REMBER WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS; GODS WORDS WILL HEAL.
When you got sick you fought like hell
Then you wait and time will tell.
The first reports were really great
Worth the suffering that you hate.
The treatments continue for awhile
Everyone prays they make you well.
Back to the doctor you pray you've won
But he tells you nothing more can be done.
You stay at home for your last days
With your family you'll be until you’re on your way.
Unfortunately and a surprise to all
Sooner than expected God made that call.
So God took your life
But he left your wife.
She can't believe it’s real
Or how she is supposed to deal.
She wanders the house room to room
In a state of constant gloom.
A broken heart is all she feels
Right now she thinks it will never heal.
From heaven above
Send down your love.
Let her know you are not apart
You will always be in her heart.
