One More Step Beyond The Grave < !signature-->~Marge Tindal~ Take my hand, oh, precious Father. Lead me where you'd have me go. You've walked with me through valley's fire and I have truly loved you so. I am tired and I am weary. I've done all that you would have me do. Lord, please send an angel for me, so I can finally be with you. When you touched my heart,Lord, in sweet surrender all I gave. Send an angel here to guide me, one more step beyond the grave. Through the years I've been so faithful, I have surrendered all to you. Time for you to keep your promise. Take me home to be with you. When you send an angel for me, I will leave this worldly woe. Just inside the gates of Heaven, friends and loved ones I've missed so. I will sing to angel's trumpets, joined in singing songs of old. I will gaze in awesome wonder, walking streets of purest gold. When the angel comes to take me home beyond the pearly gates. Lord, please know that I'll be ready. I know that I can hardly wait. I am ready, Lord, and waiting. All I had to you I gave. Send an angel now to lift me, one more step beyond the grave. *A special goodbye to a friend who has gone home to meet her maker. She asked me to write her a song. It will be sung tomorrow at her memorial service. Goodbye dear friend. ~*~Marge~*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 01-24-2000).] |

One of the most gracious gifts I have seen Marge. I am thankful that I know you. In sorrow for your loss.< !signature--> I don't buy temporary insanity as they murder defense. Because people kill people. That's and animal instinct. I think breaking into someone's home and ironing all their clothes is temporary insanity.

Paul- Your kind words meant a lot. Balladeer- Thank you, love. DarkAngel- Thank you for the kindness. Bad Boy- You aren't so 'bad' after all. But we won't tell. First_Knight- And, likewise, I'm thankful for knowing you. Friendships shared. Munda- Your kind words are appreciated. Poet deVine- Thank you for your thoughts. *At a sunrise memorial this morning from a small chapel overlooking a lake, I joined the friend who set this to music for me in a heart-rendering tribute to a friend. She got to hear this song just last Wednesday evening. Her angel came and took her home just before the dawn on Thursday. I am lifted in spirit by knowing that she is home. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge...I don't know what to say. This is so touching and poignant. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. This is a beautiful tribute to someone who must have been a beautiful person in her lifetime. I am so glad to hear that she able to hear it before "going home".

Oh, Marge, this is heartrendingly lovely! Most poignant and meaningful, and beautifully written. May I keep it in my files? And what's more, would I ever have permission to share it at a Christian person's funeral, as long as I included your name? I've never heard one so perfect, and filled with love and hope, though I've been to more funerals over forty years, than I could possibly count, and most of them have been the funerals of Christians; mostly children, along with a handful of adults. I've written my share, too, but yours is the master. ...Living is ever like crossing rivers; finding a new life on each shore ... RJG |

Marge this was really precious! The words well done just don't speak the truth! Excellent! I have an angel for you!  <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Wild Child- I heard the whirring of angel wings as homeward my friend was transported. I'm only glad that Maria Angela Bernadette got to hear this gift she asked me for. Eloise- Thank you for your kind thoughts. Hoot- Maria Angela Bernadette had no family other than a close family of friends. She entered my life at a time that she felt unworthy of life. Through a true loving friendship she came to be a integral part of a wide circle of love. Thank you for the kindness of your thoughts. Martie- She did indeed love this song. Thanks for you loving thoughts. Corrine- Thank you, dear. Denise- Thank you for your kindness. It will be sung again at sunset. Rosemary- You may keep it and you may share it. Maria Angela Bernadette would have liked that. I give you ~Maria's~ song to sing someone else's angel home. Bless you, Rosemary. ~Maria's~ spirit wrote the song. Pattie- Oh, hon .. I may 'fly' close to my friends, but God sends angels to comfort us all. WhiteDove- I have 'seen' the angel of Maria Angela Bernadette. She would have liked the angel picture. Thank you for such a thoughtful kindness. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
