If I Could Only Know If I could only knowYou're safe and don't need me.If I only could feelYou're where you want to be.If I could only sayI love you just once more.If I could only lookInto Heaven's open door.Though I'll never be whole again,I might one day learn to live.If you could only give me a sign ...I may once again forgive.But, what do I do with life?I can't put on a pretense.I was lost the day you went away ...I've been lost ever since.So if I could only knowthat you're safe and don't need me, I may feel a sense of peaceand somehow find serenity.Kaye Des'Ormeaux(C) February 25, 2000~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ News ReleaseApril 9, 2006Bastrop Woman Dies in Single-Vehicle CrashAround 3:30 am this morning, Louisiana State Police investigated a single-vehicle crash in Morehouse Parish which resulted in a death.

Today.Netta Wilson1996 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whispers From Heaven They say that life is fleetingI know that this is trueI left this world so quicklywith no goodbye to you.I know how much you miss meYour tears fall ever lightThe pillow where you lay your headIs wet with them at night.I know your heart is hurtingThe words we left, unsaid."I love yous" left unspokenAre spinning in your head.The strength that I have carriedThat served to make you wholeRemains to make you strongerWithin your grieving soul.For you see, while you were weepingAn angel came to see me.She took me by the handAnd led me to a kingdom, in a very distant land.As I look down from HeavenAnd see you standing thereYour heart so ever burdenedWith more weight than it can bear.I long to bring you comfortI long to give you peaceI long to hold you closelyCause all your tears to cease.The joy I've found in HeavenGoes far beyond compareThe love that's so elusiveCan be found everywhere.The light is softly shiningThere's no storm clouds here or rainThere's no teardrops found in HeavenThere's no suffering, there's no pain.You needn't be so troubledStay close to God and prayFor someday we'll be togetherOne bright and glorious day.So Dear Mother, you shouldn't question.My dear Mother, you need not cry.I've gone to be with jesusI really didn't die.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love and miss you Holli. I think of you with every breath that I take. Every moment of every day. You took my heart with you when you left. Hold it close to yours and hold it tight till I get there.
