This is a song i wrote for Jessica and is well known now throughout her friends
this is for you lil bandit

i miss you everday
i love you.

The Angel

As you leave us alone,
we remember the sound of your voice
and the glow of your smile,
you have friends who love you,
oh darling yes we love you,
but you are always here with us.

you are an angel sent from heaven above,
and now you've gone home i guess your work here was done,
you've brought us so much joy,
brightened up our cloudy days,
and although you had to go,
i wish that you could have stayed.

As our hearts shatter,
we remember your laughter and your never ending hugs,
you know the world will miss you,
Jessica i will miss you,
but i know you're watching over me.


you are an angel sent from heaven above,
and now you've gone home i guess your work here was done,
you've brought us so much joy,
brightened up our cloudy days,
and although you had to go,
i wish that you could have stayed.

as the world falls to its knees
it will scream your name,
a thousand hugs might make me smile
but it will never clear this pain.


you are an angel sent from heaven above,
and now you've gone home i guess your work here was done,
you've brought us so much joy,
brightened up our cloudy days,
and although you had to go,
i wish that you could have stayed.

When you feel most, that I am not here, you are not listening, for I am near,

Through your tears, I see your pain, But I have no fear, because heaven I have gained.

When you sleep, I kiss your cheek, because I know in your dreams, it is me you seek,

So do not wonder, where I am,

I am now in heaven, holding God's hand.

And just a breath away from you .....

The Next Place

By Warren Hanson

The next place that I go
Will be as peaceful and familiar
As a sleepy summer Sunday
And a sweet, untroubled mind.
And yet . . .
It won't be anything like any place I've ever been. . .
Or seen. . . or even dreamed of
In the place I leave behind.
I won't know where I'm going,
And I won't know where I've been
As I tumble through the always
And look back toward the when.
I'll glide beyond the rainbows.
I'll drift above the sky.
I'll fly into the wonder, without ever wondering why.
I won't remember getting there.
Somehow I'll just arrive.
But I'll know that I belong there
And will feel much more alive
Than I have ever felt before.
I will be absolutely free of the things that I held onto
That were holding onto me.
The next place that I go
Will be so quiet and so still
That the whispered song of sweet belonging will rise up to fill
The listening sky with joyful silence,
And with unheard harmonies
Of music made by no one playing,
Like a hush upon breeze.
There will be no room for darkness in that place of living light,
Where an ever-dawning morning pushes back the dying night.
The very air will fill with brilliance, as the brightly shining sun
And the moon and half a million stars are married into one.
The next place that I go Won't really be a place at all.
There won't be any seasons --
Winter, summer, spring or fall --
Nor a Monday, Nor a Friday,
Nor December, Nor July.
And the seconds will be standing still. . .
While hours hurry by.
I will not be a boy or girl,
A woman or man.
I'll simply be just, simply, me.
No worse or better than.
My skin will not be dark or light.
I won't be fat or tall.
The body I once lived in
Won't be part of me at all.
I will finally be perfect.
I will be without a flaw.
I will never make one more mistake,
Or break the smallest law.
And the me that was impatient,
Or was angry, or unkind,
Will simply be a memory.
The me I left behind.
I will travel empty-handed.
There is not a single thing
I have collected in my life
That I would ever want to bring Except. . .
The love of those who loved me,
And the warmth of those who cared.
The happiness and memories
And magic that we shared.
Though I will know the joy of solitude. . .
I'll never be alone. I'll be embraced
By all the family and friends I've ever known.
Although I might not see their faces,
All our hearts will beat as one,
And the circle of our spirits
Will shine brighter than the sun.
I will cherish all the friendship I was fortunate to find,
All love and all the laughter in the place I leave behind.
All these good things will go with me.
They will make my spirit glow.
And that light will shine forever In the next place that I go.

Here we are again...

This is a poem I wrote about Jessica, a few weeks after she passed. I was always big on writing and art but I never did express my talents because I never had a reason too, but Jessica has taught be to embrase life in everyway possible and the use every talent I have. I love you Jessica, forever and always.

Here we are again...
Just the two of us
People all around
Yet shrouded in the wind be they must
It is just you and me
Only me physically
But you, yes you, the angel I've seen
You are here too
You are the wind
Or perhaps not the wind
But the gentle spring mist
My mind is lost
In a most heavenly abyss

Here we are again...
In the confines of my mind
Secluded from the voices
The sounds of life
It is here, be it here, where your presence is known
And in the flowing of sound
I hear your voice
Gentle, Soft, too well known

Here we are again...
Night draws near
But you in all your light
Make the sky clear
No more illusion of life
Just us, hands clasped tight
If I am lucky
A gentle kiss on mine cheek you might

Here we are again...
The sky cracks dawn
And in the rustling of the birds
You make you presence known
Your hands out you hold
And with such a gentle touch
A greeting you entrust

"I love you"
The worlds echo in my heart
And the image of your smile, my mind never forgot

Arouse from my sleep
I question "Is this all a dream?"
And the solution to my problem
I quickly do see

For Here we are again...
Deceitful eyes they are not
And then to what I see
The smile I never forgot
And to the confines of my heart
These words you do speak

I am gone but not lost
I am here with thee
To cry is natural
To weep is sin
Hold not pain in your heart
Rather keep the memories within

Fade does she then
From sight to mist
Her memory not forgotten
For with me it is

Down the street I do walk
Again people shrouded in the wind
A smile beckons my face
And from the sky whispers the wind
Here we are again...
